The Old Pub Unique Retreat Luxury Large Cellar including a Private Sauna Gym Kitchenette Dining Area Snacks Mini Bar and Breakfast Historically The Wiltshi

Very clean, welcoming host and very accommodating.

10 minutes out from Devizes. You need to drive back there for food. No eating places locally. The nearest pub was closed when we were there on the Monday.

The Cellar is even bigger than it looks in the pictures and so lovely inside. Jo was so friendly and had gone the extra mile with everything, all the little details like food and drinks left for us to enjoy was so kind. Everything was beautifully decorated and so comfortable it felt like home from home, but with a gym and sauna which was an amazing addition. As for the outside well it’s truly stunning! Would highly recommend.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Excellent facilities. A mini gym (for those that way inclined), a lovely little sauna. A great variety of choices for breakfast. An excellent selection of treats, teas and coffees. We had a great mini break, and would recommend this as a place to stay.

Due to my knee condition, the stairs down to the room were a bit awkward, but in fairness this is a very minor point and wouldn’t stop me from booking again.

It’s the little touches that made this a standout place to stay. We arrived to find a lovely selection of snacks and treats in the main room but other treats were added in the kitchen area throughout our stay. There was an excellent selection for breakfast and you could tell the owners had given a lot of thought into making things a little special. Having a private sauna is a great addition, as well as the gym equipment (we used the treadmill). We met the owner, Jo, on a couple of occasions outside the property. She was very friendly and keen to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable break.

There was nothing to dislike. The accommodation is in a cellar which made it quirky and quiet.

This was an amazing place to stay, and worth much more than what we paid. Jo has thought of the tiniest details and provides so many snacks and goodies, including wine, over and above the extremely generous breakfast. The only thing missing was her having secretly researched our favourite tracks and had the music playing on a speaker when we arrived. There are clear instructions for everything. It was clean, smelt great and was very comfy. Despite being a basement, the lighting problem is solved by two well placed roof lights and simple but stylish bright decor, and a dehumidifier kept it dry and cool. Having a private sauna and gym at this price is quite possibly unique on Booking.com, at least in UK. The local villages and Planks Farm shop are delightful, especially Urchfont, and it's a short hike or challenging bike ride up onto Salisbury plain with its amazing views. If you are cycling or walking in the area and need a stopover with a rest day - do it here.

Being a basement there are no windows or access to outside areas of the property, so longer than two nights could get a little uncomfortable, but that depends on your personality. It's not the owner's fault at all, but the footpath into the village is non-existent once around the corner, and it's a busy turning at school times, so not so good on foot or bike.

This accommodation was absolutely perfect for a short stay exploring Avebury and the surroundings. There was everything one could possibly need and Jo was an amazing host. Would highly recommend!

Nothing to dislike. Everything was perfect.
