Really enjoyed our overnight stay. Very convenient for Centre Parcs!!
Pros:

The staff were really helpful, the food in the restaurant was great, GF options for coeliacs was superb. The room was great, really big with comfy beds, very clean and a big TV which the kids loved. The bathroom was clean and had a good shower. It is a very old building so a bit wonky but we thought that was great fun!!

The old Bell immer wieder gerne!
Pros:

Es ist sehr Hundefreundlich.
Das Essen im Pub war auch gut. Wir hatten Fish and chips.
Das Zimmer war zwar sehr warm, es gab aber einen Standlüfter zum regulieren der Temperatur. Dieser hat auch geholfen.
Wenn wir wieder nach Warminster reisen, dann auf jeden Fall wieder ins the old bell!

Cons:

Das Gebäude ist, vermutlich aufgrund des Alters, etwas verwinkelt und daher musste man mehrere Treppenabsätze rauf und runter laufen.
Das ist aber nicht wirklich schlimm, nur für jemanden der nicht gut zu Fuß ist vielleicht.

Excellent location, room, food and staff! Would definitely recommend!
Pros:

The building was lovely and rooms were comfortable and quiet. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we really felt looked after. It was a great location and they even serve authentic Thai food, which was fantastic. All round a great place.

Lovely stay
Pros:

Very welcoming staff to myself and my daughter but also to our two dogs.
Great room, comfy bed and with everything that you could need.
Good location for visiting the local area.
We had dinner in the evening, the staff and the atmosphere were great and so was the food.

Cons:

It was a warm night so we had the window open, as we were at the front of the hotel the road noise was quite loud.

Pros:

The price of the room was very good,convenient location,nice friendly atmosphere.The staff on duty on 25th were very helpful & pleasant.

Cons:

The fire alarm was triggered this morning.It rang for several minutes before being turned off.Aa guests we tried to get to the assembley point as directed but were unable to locate it.There was no advice/evidence of staff member being in charge.Fortunately it was a false alarm.Breakfast arrangements for this morning were poor.We'd already booked for breakfast at 9am.There was no evidence of tables having been laid/menus put out.The poor young member of staff who said she was new was clearly not having much support.In short we left after breakfast which was mediocre.

A nice pub, staff were friendly, served good food.
Pros:

It was good value for money, excellent Thai food, and clean.
It was not far from Bath, and Stonehenge was about an hour away.

Cons:

It was an old property, so floors and windows weren’t exactly level, so walking around felt a bit odd.

Good for longleat proximity but not worth the money
Pros:

Location to Longleat
Car park on site
Clean room
Nice restaurant

Cons:

Two members of staff were lovely, one was rude and tried to make us pay more money for an extra bed, even though I’d booked a quadruple room. One member of staff got us a pull out bed, but the other was cross about this. We ended up making the bed ourselves as by that point it was quite stressful! The shower didn’t work. There is nobody there after hours so no way of asking for anything extra during our stay (ie another towel or more tea bags etc) there was a QR code for emergencies that didn’t work.
