Had a lovely short stay at The Telephone Exchange for a family weekend away to take the kids to Longleat for the Christmas Santa visit and Festival of Light. The accommodation was beautifully clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the kids loved having the spiral staircase up to the den with the selection of games that were available and their bedroom. For our stay, the A36 was closed which meant a 50 minute drive to Longleat rather than the 20 minute usual journey but this did not prevent a magical weekend. Beds had comfortable linen and towels were provided. The place was warm on arrival with the heating set to a comfortable temperature but I would recommend slippers as the stone floors were cold underfoot. The only amenity we found was missing was shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom (and the local garage wasn’t open on the evening we tried to pop there despite google saying it should have been). Overall a wonderful quirky and unique place to stay in a quiet village. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again if we were to return to the area.

Excellent location for walking in the Wylye valley area. Good property for two and a dog in a quiet village with easy access to lots of hill or village walks. Decor in need of a little TLC, but warm and comfortable and fairly well equipped for a short stay, with parking on site. Good value for money. Local amenities are limited to a shop at a petrol station and a pub converted to a licensed tea room, but can obtain basics, and not far from Warminster or Salisbury.

The property is spacious and thoughtfully laid out and the pretty village is a short drive to Warminster. We had a very comfortable stay but dog walkers need to aware of the no dogs restriction on the adjoining recreation field--- I got caught out !
