There’s even a ballroom providing ample space for formal entertainment.
6. Stourhead Gardens B&B
An 18th century cottage owned by the National Trust, Stourhead Gardens B&B could easily be part of a movie scene. In fact, the film production of Pride and Prejudice was filmed just a few metres away from their front door! Guests also get to enjoy complimentary passes to Stourhead House and Gardens.
7. The Old Bell Hotel
Reputed to be the oldest purpose built hotel in England (dating from around 1220), The Old Bell Hotel sits proudly in the heart of Malmesbury.

What’s more, you can practice being lord or lady of the manor in the nearby Abbey House Gardens.
