Seems like they had a good time staying on the Farm. Top marks all round!

12/07/2023

The owlets are out, flexing their muscles!

08/07/2023

The poppies have been stunning this year - shame they don't last very long but at least the bees seem to be enjoying them while they are here - if anyone wants some seeds, let me know

30/06/2023

A BIG movie, a stunning outdoors venue, 3 options coming up - Grease, Elvis and Top Gun at Bowood. Why not get some friends together and make a weekend of it and stay at the Farm - check out tickets and availability quick before they/we sell out!

07/06/2023

Fresh from the garden - and yes, they tasted and smelled just as good as they looked. And it's still more than 3 weeks 'til Wimbledon - what a treat :-)

Happy Wiltshire Day everyone
Beautiful countryside, lots to do, and lovely accommodation .... come and stay on the farm and check it out for yourself.

Beautiful gardens to visit during a stay at the Farm, all within easy reach.
Have you planned your next Bank Holiday weekend yet?

26/04/2023

Come and stay at the farm and walk direct from our door - footpaths leading to Avebury, Silbury Hill, the White Horse Trail and Cherhill White Horse .... or just to the (award-winnning) village pub if that's your preference - funnily enough, also called the White Horse!

20/04/2023

If you are in the mood for a weekend away and want an' event' to attend, here are some excellent suggestions for you, all within a reasonable distance of the farm - luxury accommodation AND a big night (or day) out.
Something for everyone, whether it be Classic Ibiza at Bowood or Sense and Sensibility performed at Lacock Abbey!
Sounds like a plan!

We are very lucky to have a great pub in the village, and we are not the only ones to think the food is excellent.
"All in all, dinner was cooked to perfection – and the service was swift, friendly and unobtrusive too."
"This is cracking cooking, make no mistake. Food is seasonal and unpretentious, with plenty of options to pique your palate."
Just a short walk from the Chalk Barn - perfect if you don't want to cook!!

The western edge of the North Wessex AONB is in Compton Bassett - wonderful walking country right on our doorstep. A less than 2-hour walk takes you to the World Heritage site of Avebury along footpaths starting on the farm - wander among the stones (and pop into the pub for a half-time refreshment before you head back). Shorter walks are also available :-)

Stunning sunset over the farm this evening - end of a beautiful day.

Ever seen a place on, say, Airbnb with one price…
Then when you’re about to book, the price doubles? The reason this happens is because of fees that Online Travel Agents put in place. That’s how they make money.
This means, as a guest, you not only pay for your vacation but also pay for the platform to exist. If you find a place with one of the online agents, it is always worth Googling the property to see if they have their own website.
We do.
So, if you can, always for the best price.

How about that as a view to wake up to? Chilly, yes, but blue skies and sunshine - nicer than rain any day!!

06/11/2022

Unlike Stonehenge, these are stone circles that you can walk through and touch - and just up the road from the farm.

Bath Christmas Market is back on this year! Opening on November 25th and closing on December 11th, it is a wonderful mix of stalls - perfect for finding unusual gifts. Come and stay at the farm. Perhaps one day in Bath and one at the Swindon Outlet Mall? Christmas shopping done and dusted in 2 days!!

Another 5* review - thanks Danny

28/08/2022

If you are in need of some retail therapy, with award-winning Marlborough and the huge outlet mall on the edge of Swindon, this is the place to be!!

Marlborough was recently named the second best high street across the country

Wishing you all a very festive weekend :-)

Happy Jubilee everyone. Compton Bassett is ready - flowers looking festive, sun shining, guests checking into the Chalk Barn this afternoon, a busy schedule of events in the village over the weekend. Enjoy!

29/05/2022

Another lovely 5* review - so pleased they enjoyed their stay with us!

Another happy group of guests who stayed in the Chalk Barn - they’d had to rearrange twice because of Covid so really nice they finally made it!!

27/05/2022

Our local white horse had its routine beauty treatment last week - it's right next to the Lansdowne Monument so well worth a visit. And the view from the top of the hill is wonderful!

23/05/2022

Someone was busy last night!

18/05/2022

With the recent rain and sun, the grass is growing so fast you can almost hear it. And the wildflowers are working hard keeping up - tufted vetch, cuckoo flowers and, planted last Autumn, some brave bluebells.

28/03/2022

Go on - you know you want to!!

Lovely people, lovely review!!

Seems like our Christmas guests enjoyed their visit. It is so nice to be able to host people again this year after last Christmas was ‘cancelled’.

If great food is a critical part of your weekend away, check out these pubs. All are in the newly published Best Gastropubs list, 3 are about a half hour drive of the Farm - and all well worth a visit!
https://wilts.muddystilettos.co.uk/eat-out/top-gastropubs-wiltshire/

Hot off the presses! Estrella Damm has revealed its pick of the best gastropubs in the UK with four Wiltshire spots making the list - but has your local favourite cut the mustard?
