"Lovely, relaxing country stay!"
Owners extremely helpful. Even gave us a lift to the local restaurant on Saturday night & recommended places to go etc. Breakfast very delicious. Only issue was needing to 'fit in' with fixed times a little bit as they are a small establishment so want to feed everyone at breakfast at the same time. Additionally you cannot have a drink at the bar before bed! Overall though, a very pleasant atmosphere & location. Read less
Likes:
Clean rooms with lovely bathroom & sofa area & tea & coffee making facilities.
Dislikes:
Not being able to have a late night drink at the bar before bed!

Good location near to the A303 but sufficiently away not to be disturbed by it. Comfortable room, excellent hospitality tray, ample tasty breakfast, pot of tea on arrival, friendly owners.

Your hosts Jill & Ian Sutcliffe have created a warm, welcoming atmosphere in this tranquil & rural setting. Parts of The Riverbarn are over 600 years old & it has operated as a business for the last 100 years! The wooden tables with puzzles & games create a cosy & friendly feel throughout the day but give way to create a more sophisticated air for our dinner guests.
There is so much to see & do from The Riverbarn, in an area set in some of England’s most beautiful countryside that boasts some spectacular scenery. Glorious Stourhead House & Gardens (20 minutes) & Exciting Longleat Safari Park (20 minutes). With Stonehenge & Salisbury (15 miles), Gold Hill, Shaftesbury (10 miles) & the imposing Abbey & Castle of Sherborne (30 miles) you are spoilt for choice! Other attractions include: Bath (30 miles), Devizes (25 miles), Castle Combe (38 miles) & Avebury (45 miles).
The vast Fonthill Estate lies tucked away on the rolling northern flanks of the unspoilt Nadder Valley between Tisbury, one of Wiltshire’s oldest small towns, & the charming village of Hindon. Fonthill Park, with its beautiful tree-fringed lake & splendid triumphal-style gateway, ridge-top woodland & sweeping pastures, lies within easy walking distance of the Riverbarn.
The daily lunchtime menu includes some outstanding ‘Soups of the Day’, the popular Fish Chowder, Warm Fig, Prosciutto & Brie Salad, Hot ‘Honey Drizzled’ Camembert, Smoked Trout Parcels, Goats Cheese & Sundried Tomato Tart & Smoked Trout Terrine. Our daily ‘Slate Board Specials’ include Pork in Cider & Crème Fraiche, Thai Green Curry, Smoked Haddock Kedgeree, Salmon & Dill Fishcakes, Butterbean & Cider Casserole, Moroccan Spiced Filo Parcels, Sea Bass with Asparagus & Pea Risotto or Beef, Stilton & Ale Pie. Try our renown, ‘Riverbarn’ Cream Tea – “The best this side of Cornwall!” said one visitor. We take great care to source all our fresh ingredients locally. The finest produce go hand in hand with excellent service.
