Bishopstrow House is a charming Georgian country house built in 1817, surrounded by acres of beautiful English gardens through which runs the River Wylye.

Close by are heritage sites of the Roman city of Bath and one of Britain's most extraordinary landmarks, the 4000 year-old monument of Stonehenge.

The hotel's interior reveals many fine rooms with graceful features and elegant proportions. The dramatic décor is enhanced by roaring log fires, antiques and fresh flowers.
