Witchmark Distillery Tour
The distillery is nestled in the charming village of Fonthill Bishop, just a short walk from our bed and breakfast, and is the perfect add on to a stay with us.
Take a tour to learn the craft behind their spirits, enrol in a Gin School session to create your own unique bottle, or join one of the popular mixology classes.
Don’t forget to spend time at the bar, where you can sip on signature cocktails, and visit the shop to pick up your favourite bottles and exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else.
The Grosvenor Arms, Hindon
Seasonal, local food and decent booze. Just a short drive away from our bed and breakfast.
You’ll find old classics sitting pride of place on their menu, like wonderfully large handmade pies, as well as locally sourced fish – be it from Brixham or local rivers – and they always have a vegan or vegetarian dish too. They aren’t into micro herbs and fussy plates, food is hearty, interesting and delicious; they keep things simple and do them well.
Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm
The perfect place for a special family day out in Wiltshire.
Just 20 mins drive away from our bed and breakfast.
Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm is a Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST) registered Rare Breeds Farm Park.
Offering a fantastic quality family day out, or even a weekend getaway, no matter what the English weather has in store for us, there's something for everyone!
