Warm, friendly reception from Nick, very helpful in giving me options for food / breakfast (nothing provided by hotel). Nick also helped me navigate the complicated parking situation outside. Room was lovely, very clean, tidy and beautifullly furnished in Laura Ashley furniture. The lack of kettle was offset by the provision of a free bottle of water. Large HD TV in the room with Netflix The village is lovely, very picturesque, lots of nice pubs and restaurants on the main road. 10 minutes away from Avebury

No catering, no kettle in room, no shower (Bath with mixer)

The owner, Nick was very attentive and friendly with good advice as to restaurants etc.. The location was excellent, in mid-High Street.

I mentioned to Nick that the shower arrangement was a little awkward in that there was no shower-curtain ., but the cleanliness was exceptional.

I loved our room it was cosy and had character. I especially enjoyed the flowers outside in the window boxes!

the ONLY downside was the noise from the high street- obviously that can’t be helped though. I would say if you are a light sleeper consider asking for a room at the back of the property.

The location, the simplicity of the room. An affordable alternative to hotel world. Would use again.

A kettle in the room would have been great. Forgive me if I could not locate one in the room.

The room was very pleasantly decorated in a 18th century manner and the bed was comfortable. The room was light and airy

There could have been a shower curtain as the shower was hand held and the water tended to get everywhere if you stood up. It would have been good to have tea and coffee facilities in the room as there was no breakfast provided but the sparkling water provided was very refreshing.

A historic 17th century property oozing with character. Very clean and room was decorated beautifully. Very friendly and helpful manager/owner.

Could have done with tea/coffee making facility in room. Although the Manager gave us a kettle and cups when we asked about it.

Location was perfect with excellent cafeteria services in house. Also close to a variety of local bars, shops on the doorstep!

Could benefit from its own private car parking facilities. Parking in the local area somewhat complex.
