Indian and Chinese takeaways, and traditional English fish and chips are very close. \> One of our favourite restaurants is the Spice Merchant Keralan Indian Restaurant located 10 minutes walk away down Holloway. Excellent food very reasonably priced. \> There is also a very good selection of restaurants and cafés even closer, within a short walk from the cottage in Malmesbury town centre. \> For those of you who are self-catering , the Co-op in the High Street is open from 7.00am to 10.00pm every day, and Waitrose is across the bridge at the bottom of the High Street \> Take time to explore the town itself and the many interesting and unique small shops. \> Two hours inexpensive parking is available right outside the door, and the longer term parking facility a few hundred yards away beyond the Abbey steps.. \> If you want a rest from driving, there is a bus stop right outside our door with services to Swindon, Bath, Yate, Chippenham and Cirencester.
