Alice's Farm

You've got the best of Wiltshire at your feet with a stay at this charming hideaway, nestled on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury. Standing within a World Heritage site, its quaint shops, traditional inn, and the legendary stone circle delivers all the country charm and heritage you're chasing and is just a three-minute drive away.

Back at the farm, you couldn't dream up a more welcoming retreat. Once a former stable, the space has been beautifully reimagined into a collection of stylish cottages standing side-by-side overlooking a landscaped shared courtyard.

Inside, we love the elegant English interiors with bright textiles and artwork adding a dash of playful modernity. And the whole space feels light and lofty, thanks to the vaulted ceilings. In the small but perfectly formed kitchen, there's a welcome hamper with essentials and homemade goodies to help settle you in – or for something more substantial, your host can deliver farm produce straight to your barn door. And when the sun shines, the beautifully landscaped courtyard is the perfect spot to relax with a book and sundowners. Then fire up the barbecue and firepit to keep the night flowing beneath a blanket of stars.
