It’s a very special place, Wiltshire. But anywhere that’s home to as many ancient sites of archaeological interest could never be run of the mill. Because of this we would like to expand and improve our selection of historic Wiltshire hotels and inns so that the visitor has somewhere to stay with a special past, too. Old inns, luxury country house hotels, boutique accommodation, bed & breakfasts; we like to feature them providing they are of historic importance or retain the features of the period in which they were built. Any information is, of course, gratefully received.
