Contractor accommodation in Malmesbury is scarce, because the town is small and most beds are in pubs and guest houses. Esho Stays has one large countryside house near Malmesbury, from £900 a night, which suits a senior team of up to six adults. Bigger crews on a budget usually base themselves in Cirencester, about 12 miles north.

Who needs contractor accommodation in Malmesbury?
Most contractors who need accommodation in Malmesbury are working at Dyson’s two Wiltshire sites. Dyson has a 56-acre campus on the north side of the town and a much larger 517-acre campus on the former airfield at Hullavington, about 5 miles south.
Both sites bring a steady mix of fit-out crews, mechanical and electrical engineers, test-rig specialists and visiting project managers. Many jobs last a few weeks at a time and repeat through the year, so a team often returns to the same base.
Malmesbury also sits close to the M4 at junction 17. That makes it a quiet base for jobs along the M4 corridor between Chippenham and Swindon, away from the traffic of the bigger towns.
What are the options for contractors staying near Malmesbury?
Contractors near Malmesbury have three realistic options. You can take a pub or guest house room in town, a whole countryside house nearby, or a house in Cirencester. The Cirencester drive takes 20 to 25 minutes each way.
Pub rooms and guest houses
Fine for one or two nights. For longer jobs you have no kitchen, no washing machine, and the few rooms in town book up fast when Dyson has a busy week.
A large countryside house
Suits a senior team or a client delegation that needs space to meet, cook and unwind. Our house near Malmesbury has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and several living rooms.
Cirencester, 12 miles north
The budget option for a crew. Our six Cirencester homes start at £100 a night, and the A429 runs straight down to Malmesbury. See our guide to contractor accommodation in Cirencester.

Local tips for teams working near Malmesbury
Keep vans out of the old townThe streets around the abbey and the Market Cross are narrow and steep. Use the A429 bypass and park vans at the house, not in town.
Book early for spring and summerMalmesbury is close to Badminton and the Cotswolds, so countryside houses book up for events and holidays. Contract work booked two months ahead has the best choice.
