Guests enjoying local walks
Tailor-made to suit you
We pride ourselves on tailoring your walking holiday to suit your individual requirements. For example, in 2009, 7 of the group on the right took one of our walking holidays. Some stayed here and the remainder stayed in self-catering accommodation. They all came here for breakfast and afternoon tea & cakes and I provided packed lunches for them all.
In 2010 they came back, this time in a group of 10. The same people stayed here and the others stayed in the Travelodge at the end of the road. Again, they met here for breakfast etc.
They wrote:“Another amazing stay. Thanks for being so accommodating - again!!”

Experienced holidaymakers and walkers ourselves, we offer you all the elements that make up a great walking holiday or short break. We know the area and can advise you on what sort of walking is available to you. Whether you wish to walk 2 miles or 20, we will recommend walks and loan you maps and directions. We tailor holidays to suit individuals and are always happy to discuss your personal requirements by phone or email. This area is not just great for walking, there are plenty of other things to see and do if you fancy a change. Should you wish to walk The White Horse Trail, there are several options available - see our page here or ask for more information.
Our walking holiday prices are only a little more expensive than for standard B&B and include bed & breakfast and the use of facilities as described throughout the website. These include the guest lounge, gallery, gardens & hot tub, and afternoon tea and cake served in the guest lounge or garden on your return from your walk. Maps and directions are available for you to borrow and guests can also request walks tailored to their specific requirements at no extra charge. For example, if you want to walk several 20 mile walks, let me know in advance and I’ll make sure I have enough varied walks for you. There is a sofa bed in the guest lounge so this could also be made available as a bedroom for larger groups. You can see a chart detailing our walking holiday prices here.
These prices are for standard walking holidays and do not include any evening meals or packed lunches. Occasional evening meals and/or packed lunches can be provided on request for an additional charge.
We have simplified our payment structure so that we now ask only for the first night’s accommodation to be paid in advance. This is £75 or £78 for two people and £42 - £50 for a single guest. There are no further advance instalments, with the balance of your holiday falling due on your departure.
You are welcome to book online but please let us know that you are booking a walking holiday rather than standard B&B. It is helpful to have a chat, either by phone or by email, about your requirements so we can tailor your walking holiday to suit you personally.

White Horse Walking Holidays
Ian, our first walking guest in 2010, took some wonderful photos of his stay. We provided Ian with circular walks which included all of our white horses. His photos are beautiful and give a very good idea of walking in this area. They can be found here.
Ian wrote in our Guestbook:
“Very comfortable, super presentation. All I could ask for and great packed lunches.“
