This charming family-run guest house has an attractive and tranquil setting in the midst of the rolling Marlborough Downs, with great access to the region’s major road network. The Well guest house gets its name from the original well set in the restaurant floor. Bulletproof glass has been used to provide a safe cover for the well, allowing you to stand on top and look down the 30-yard shaft of this impressive original feature.
