Amazing & unique

Amazing! Beautiful little barn house room. Lovely sized room with excellent facilities, shower room and bath, with private conservatory on the side. Lovely garden and court yard to sit out in the evening with a little drink, enjoy the animals onsite and overlooking the wonderful sites of longleat. Amazing breakfast and very welcoming staff, keen to make the stay perfect. Cute little pub walking distance away and a stones throw from longleat park. Easy parking onsite. Highly recommended, would definitely stay again!

Wonderful B&B, it felt like everyone was a friend you had known for ages and for me that is amazing, as i don't usually easily talk to people. But found it so easy here. Lovely breakfast and really comfy bed. Really convenient for Longleat.

Such a lovely place to stay, will definitely be booking again! The host and her team are all so lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast was incredible, very fresh.

Stopped off en-route from.N.Devon to London. Easy to find and lots of parking onsite. Checked in to our comfortable room, then a short walk to the local pub for dinner. After a restful night we enjoyed a cooked breakfast before continuing our journey. A great choice, and we will return.
