Some good walks in and around Urchfont itself and much to see close by - we visited Avebury and Caen Locks near Devizes - but there would have been much more to see if we had been able to stay longer.

It's quite small but has everything needed for comfortable stay for two people and is well decorated. Owners are very friendly and helpful.
