The best compliment I can give is that it felt like a home from home. We had everything we needed.Paul & Francesca made us feel very at home, allowing us to meet their dogs and ensuring we were still met despite our late arrival.A really great breakfast breakfast.A perfect B&B for those visiting Longleat or surrounding attractions.

Breakfast made simple to order and was lovely. Definitely would stay again. Thank you Paul & Francesca from John & Trudy xx
Our room was clean and decorated beautifully, the Bed was very comfortable. We had the Farmhouse Breakfast twice and it is one of the best Breakfasts I have ever had at a B&B, it wasn't oily or heavy, it was tasty, fresh and filling. The owners are welcoming and friendly. We highly recommend this place and if we get a chance, we will be back. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
As soon as I arrived I felt at home. My room was beautifully decorated and ridiculously clean, I brought my own dinner from the chippy round the corner and was offered cutlery and a table tray to eat from in my room. The shower was spacious and powerful, the tap water was lovely and cold, the bed was amazingly comfortable, everything down to the temperature of the room was great. In the morning I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast which was delicious, and there was a breakfast bar with so many extras to choose from. The hosts were wonderful, really friendly and accommodating. Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again!
As an account manager (Sales Rep) within the Southwest i frequent an awful lot of B&B’s, and hotels alike. I can confidently say this is without a shadow of doubt one of the most beautiful venues in the country, i stayed here for a single night with a colleague of mine whilst completing a shopfitting at a local store of mine, the price included breakfast for 2 rooms was very reasonable also.A beautiful secure premises, with great parking, lighting and access, the farmhouse itself is stunning, old fashioned yet modern, and homely! Breakfast was made fresh to my request and Paul was an incredibly accommodating host, i cannot praise the staff, and this establishment highly enough!The room i stayed in was beautiful, the carpet lovely and thick, with a soft luscious pile, tea and coffee making facilities with complimentary biscuits, the shower was powerful, towels heated on the towel rail and the bed was comfy too, would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.
Definitely the loveliest B&B I’ve stayed in, very accommodating and friendly owners, rooms are beautifully furnished, and breakfast was great! Variety of drinks, continental breakfast and cooked both available. Will be recommending and this will be my go to place next time!
Warm and friendly welcome. Spacious room, beautifully decorated, pristine bedding and everything you would wish for a comfortable and peaceful rest. Lovely breakfast too. Lots of attention to detail. Definitely recommend.
Brilliant experience. Lovely room, warm cosy, very comfortable bed, fabulous shower, catered for every need even tea and biscuits in the room which is a rarity nowadays Amazing breakfast, a very hospitable couple, will return for sure
A lovely B&B with beautifully fitted and clean room. Very friendly and welcoming hosts made us feel right at home with plenty of knowledge of the local area. Generous and well cooked breakfast to order. Definitely worth a stay!
A charming place to stay, beautifully decorated. Hosts very friendly and helpful.
A must stay if you are in the area or en route to the West Country. Large farmhouse with rooms on the second floor. All rooms are beautifully fitted out & are very spacious. Each has its own en suite which is of high specification. We stayed in the garden room; lovely decor, huge dressing room & a very good shower. The bed was extremely comfortable & we had a very peaceful sleep. Lots on offer at breakfast & a decent coffee machine offering all the favourite's. Go try it; you won't be disappointed.
A really enjoyable stay. The Woodland room is beautifully furnished and very spacious. The small table and chairs provide a lovely place to write a postcard or read a book, whilst enjoying a hot drink. The bed was very comfortable. In the morning, there was great choice of food and drinks. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. I can thoroughly recommend.
Hands down one of the quaintest little spots I've ever stayed at! Paul and Francesca were so sweet and accommodating. They personally cooked me breakfast and even offered me a ride to where I was working in the morning! My room (the blue twin suite) was decorated beautifully and it was overall just so sweet and cozy. I will definitely be back if I am ever in Dorset again!
Very plesent experience, all newly refurbished, the owners couldn’t be anymore helpful, will be recommending and using again.
