Historic Hotels in Wiltshire
Places to stay in Wiltshire connected to famous figures from history.
Rollestone Manor. Shrewton.

The Castle Inn. Castle Combe.
If one were to compile a short list of places to stay for visitors to the UK who were seeking a "step back in time" experience, the Castle Inn and Castle Combe would be on it. No doubt whatsoever.

The Manor House Hotel. Castle Combe.
A grand country house and estate on the fringes of one of England’s most glorious little villages - this history-rich hotel is certainly an escape from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living, but with all the modern comforts one requires.

The Old Bell. Malmesbury.
No written record of any notable figures having visited The Olde Bell remain, and there must certainly have been a fair number. It is, after all, one of the oldest inns in the whole of Britain.

The Red Lion. Salisbury.
A certain contender for the title of the longest-running purpose-built hotel in the UK, parts of the Red Lion may well date as far back as the 13th century.

King John's Hunting Lodge. Lacock.
English Heritage analysis suggests that some of the structural timbers at King John’s Hunting Lodge date from the early 1300’s. A remarkable thing indeed.
