E-mail Establishment Crockerton House

2007 sees the beginning of a new era for Crockerton House, as a luxurious haven for our guests. Originally part of Lord Bath's Longleat estate, some of the Grade II listed house dates from 1669; in 1921 the property was purchased by Lord Heytesbury who lived here till 1949. Twelve months of sympathetic restoration have rejuvenated the property to its earlier splendour.

Previously having owned a highly rated country house hotel on Exmoor, where Enid was awarded an AA rosette for culinary excellence six years running, Christopher and Enid Richmond would now like to welcome you into their beautiful house and garden.

Crockerton House, situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Wylye Valley only 20 miles from Bath, Salisbury and Stonehenge, makes an ideal base for exploring Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset.

Entrance Hall & Drawing Room

Enter through the hall past the Georgian grandfather clock into the handsome drawing room where you can relax amid family antiques and views of the gardens and the magnificent Longleat Forest. Afternoon tea is served in the drawing room or garden on the day of arrival.

Dinner

Enjoy a candle-lit dinner seated at the long table by the ancient inglenook or eat out in a local country pub. After a good night's sleep, wander downstairs to begin your day with a delicious breakfast.

We use fresh local produce, organic meat, chicken and eggs, farmhouse cheeses, and freshly ground coffee. In season, fruit and vegetables from the garden are regularly served. Cooking on an Aga, Enid produces a large range of homemade foods including jam, bread, cakes and ice cream.
