“A historic Grade I-listed inn dating back to 1220 set beside Malmesbury Abbey. Interiors have kept the building's original features (think exposed beams & stone, window seats, & traditional art) but the feeling is fresh. The restaurant serves modern British cuisine and local ales. A charming stay.”

Dating back to 1220, this Grade I-listed, wisteria-clad building on the doorstep of Malmesbury Abbey is steeped in history, but nevertheless manages to feel fresh and modern thanks to its colourful interiors and finely tuned service...
