The Experience
This is the oldest continually inhabited manor house in Wiltshire with history. It is Grade I listed and has exceptional charm. The porch dates from 1248, the entrance hall doorway from 1348, while the rest is 16th century, so there is plenty for historic house lovers to enjoy. The Great Hall is roomy but with wood panelled walls, thick curtains, comfortable sofas and a glowing fire, it is cosy as well. Pretend you’re in an episode of Wolf Hall, with the benefit of 21st-century central heating.
Start your day with the sun beaming into the breakfast room and its long wooden table, cook in the galley kitchen with masses of prepping space. Ask bubbly Lisa, the housekeeper, to leave you a home-cooked supper, or serve you a formal dinner in the dining room – magical by candlelight.
Bedrooms are all upstairs, with a higgledy-piggledy layout, lots of interconnecting doors and chances to get lost, but with well-dressed beds, fine views and pretty curtain fabrics. Great fun.

We think you'll love
- Having so much space to spread out – you'll never feel on top of one another here, even if you take all the rooms
- Being able to relax completely with family or close friends – it's a grand historic house but not at all fussy or pretentious
- Summer evenings on the top terrace of the forecourt enjoying the gorgeous view, or long winter evenings by the huge fireplace with a good book
You should know
- The bedrooms share three bathrooms – best for families and close friends
- There's a quiet curfew after 11.30pm – tenants live in the other buildings, so it's not suitable for hen or stag parties

Location
The neighbourhood
Footpaths are nearby and you can walk to Allington Farm Shop for an excellent butcher, groceries and fresh farm veg – plus home-baked cakes (by Lisa!). There's also a popular café for breakfast, lunches and afternoon tea. Lacock is just down the road, Chipping Sodbury a short drive, Castle Combe nearby, Corsham for a good book shop plus pubs, Malmesbury for the Abbey, Tetbury for antiques.
Local points of interest from Ginny Gibbs
- The house itself is unique: the walled forecourt garden for summer days lounging, playing and eating in, and the surroundings make this an irresistible getaway for family groups or friends.
- The By Brook Valley is nearby for restorative walks through woods to Castle Combe. Biddestone is a short walk away with a picture-book pretty village green, duck pond etc.
- Lacock village and Abbey is within five miles. Well worth a visit for general family fun as well as for historians, Harry Potter fans, art lovers and students of early photography.
- The National Arboretum at Westonbirt is a 25-min drive away for fun walks and games with children and dogs, beautiful trees and informative visitor centre.
- Bath is a 10-minute train journey if you would like a night out in a beautiful city with good wining and dining.
