Southdown is a modern detached house set in a large garden in the hamlet of Roundway Village, a mile from the historic market town of Devizes. We are rated 4 stars with Visit Britain and hold both Walkers and Cyclists Welcome, along with a Silver Award from Green Tourism.

A footpath running alongside the house leads to the Kennet & Avon Canal and the attractions and facilities of Devizes. A short walk in the other direction takes you up onto Roundway Down on the edge of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here you can find the Devizes Millennium White Horse (one of 8 horses cut into the Wiltshire Downs), the site of the Battle of Roundway (1643) and Oliver’s Castle hillfort.

Whether you are touring, walking, cycling or on business, you are assured of a very warm welcome and a comfortable stay. We have three guest bedrooms: two doubles with en-suite facilities and a twin with a private bathroom. There is a guest lounge containing books, maps & magazines etc, and a guest computer. There is also a gallery with photos of the area, drinks facilities and more information  We have wi-fi throughout the house if you wish to bring a laptop.

Breakfast is served in the conservatory or dining room, depending on the time of year. Both overlook the back garden. Guests are welcome to use the garden and the hot tub (a small fee is charged for use of the latter, but is free for people on a walking holiday).

Following our Quality in Tourism inspection in May, we were awarded the Enjoy England Breakfast Award, which is only held by 9% of guest accommodation. We also hold the Visit Wiltshire Breakfast Award.
