A gem in the midst of the Wiltshire countryside.
Pros:

We were greeted most graciously and allowed into our room early after a 9-hour flight from the US. "Wansdyke" was the room name with exposed beams and was beautifully decorated with J.J.Audubon prints of birds. Dinner was outstanding -Starters-Olives and Scotch eggs, then Pollock, Burek, and Dessert- German chocolate cake and black cherries, and custard tart and strawberries.
Slept well in the king size bed. Breakfast again was excellent.
Sorry to have to leave!

Cons:

Our travel schedule to have allowed to stay longer. One night was just not enough.

Superb hotel, restaurant in an idyllic village, but horribly hot room in Summer.
Pros:

The restaurant is superb. Breakfast was excellent. The village is idyllic.

Cons:

It was a hot night and it was a very hot room up in the roof! The fan was wholly inadequate. The hotel needs to find a better solution.

2 night country break
Pros:

Very large clean, quiet and comfortable room. Nice ale at the bar.
