Looking for recommendations for a hotel in Wiltshire (near Buscote etc) for a DonMog weekend in October 2023.
Google has thrown up the Stanton House Hotel.
Wondering if any TM members have comments / recommendations.
Prefer to avoid wedding venues if possible.

Noting you have only a weekend, is there still space in your itinerary to head a bit West to Stourhead (also NT) ? And across the county line to the amazing Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford. Round-off a circular detour with a visit to Tim Ayres at New Elms (Shaftesbury, Dorset).

Paul, I live in Wiltshire, so never stay in a hotel... Other than this, very extravagant place... https://www.redlionfreehouse.com/When we are celebrating a birthday or something special...

Thanks Peter - that looks fabulous but as we are catering for a mixed group the price could be problematic.

The Fleet Air Arm museum at Yeovilton is well worth a visit too. Hopmog did that and the Haynes Motor Museum back in 2019 on a 4 day visit to the area.

If you're looking for a stay near Swindon then I can highly recommend https://www.wildthymeandhoney.co.uk/ just east of Cirencester It's another fancy pub like the Red Lion that Peter recommends (& I would too) - but a smidge easier on the pocket, with more rooms. & dog friendly :-)
