Dining
The restaurant holds 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, offering dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can sample Arkell's Brewery beers, including house ales served in the Tap Room with its open fireplace. The complimentary continental breakfast is served from 08:00 to 10:00 and includes homemade granola and banana bread.
Rooms
Each of the 23 en-suite bedrooms is individually designed, with names rather than numbers for a distinct character. Some rooms overlook the medieval courtyard or feature original period sash windows from the Grade II listed building. Rooms include smart TVs with Netflix and Prime access, plus complimentary coffee and biscuits.
Historical Character & Amenities
Built in the 18th century, the original Brewery House remains intact and overlooks the medieval courtyard. The lounge area has a large log burner and a panelled snug, while the bar serves drinks from Arkell's Brewery. The hotel is a smoke-free environment throughout, and free WiFi is available in public areas.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated on the A4, the hotel is 15 minutes from the M4 and close to Calne town centre. Guests can visit Lacock Abbey (5 minutes' drive), Bowood Garden, and Devizes Castle, all within 20 minutes. A public car park opposite costs £2.80 from 3pm to 9am, and a bus service links to Chippenham and Swindon.

Two function rooms are available for business events and private parties, one with its own bar.
