Christopher and Enid Richmond welcome you into their beautiful historic home and garden. Originally part of Lord Bath’s Longleat Estate, the listed building dates back to 1669; in 1919 it was purchased by Lord Heytesbury who lived here till 1949. Sympathetic restoration has rejuvenated the property to its earlier splendour as a luxury bed and breakfast.
The house is situated in the Wylye Valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty only 10 minutes from Longleat and less than 20 miles of Bath, Salisbury, Stonehenge and Stourhead.
