Hotel in Manton, Swindon

 

 The Inn With The Well

The Inn With The WellClients appreciate the hotel gets its name from the original well set in the restaurant floor. This charming family-run inn has an attractive and tranquil setting in the midst of the rolling Marlborough Downs, valued throughout, with great access to the region’s major road network. Originally established in 1647, highly regarded, this traditional coaching inn is situated on the Ridgeway path, Europe’s oldest highway. Bulletproof glass has been used to provide a safe cover for the well, and above all, allowing you to stand on top and look down the 30-metre shaft of this impressive original feature. The inn is just off the A346, very much appreciated, only 5 minutes from junction 15 of the M4 motorway. Today, valued throughout, the inn still has a convenient location, with good access to the area’s main roads. All of the comfortable, and above all, purpose-built, en suite accommodation is housed in a quiet annex, separate from the main inn.

Food & Beverages

The inn has a cosy bar, as well as the restaurant. As a traditional inn, The Inn With The Well prides itself not only on its food and accommodation, but also on its selection of beers and real ales. 6X (made in nearby Devizes) and guest beers are always poured straight from the barrels stored in the cooled cellar. Guest beers are sourced from local microbreweries or nearby regional brewers. There is also a carefully selected limited wine list, supplemented by 6 to 10 guest wines at any one time. The restaurant’s most striking feature is the 30-metre well, which is covered over with bulletproof glass. Its other charms include traditional, crisp starched linen tablecloths (an all-too-rare sight in restaurants in modern times), as well as paintings of the area by the local artist Earnest Evans, which are available for sale. The restaurant hosts gourmet evenings most months, on Saturday. A large table is set up and everyone takes a place. Food is served and consists of tapas-sized portions of starters and main courses, followed by sweets and coffee. The restaurant is very popular for Sunday lunch and also offers a popular bistro evening on Friday evenings with a fixed-price 3-course menu. The regular menu has evolved over a number of years and is split in to 2 main sections, the bar menu and the main menu. The bar menu offers all the old favourites, including ham, egg & chips, as well as a selection of ploughman's meals and sandwiches. The main menu caters for the more adventurous diner, with a selection of delicious meals. The menus are supplemented by a small selection of specials, which can be found on a board by the entrance to the bar and which change on a regular basis.

Area information

The inn’s convenient location and great access to the region’s major road network makes it a great base for those looking for leisure breaks in the Cotswolds and the south-west of England. The inn is within very easy reach of many famous attractions covering a wide range of interests including ancient sites, historic cities and even crop circles. Nearby Avebury is the site of possibly the most important pre-historic stone circle in Britain. You could also visit Bowood Estate, which has something for all the family, from the 18th century house, the gardens and the adventure playground to the golf and country club. Corsham Court is also nearby. Based on an Elizabethan house dating from 1582, Corsham Court has been the home of the Methuen family since 1745. Silbury Hill is probably the most mysterious Neolithic site in Europe and is also within easy reach, as is Stonehenge, the world-famous stone circle where building first started over 5,000 years ago. There is also plenty to see and do in the area, from fishing and country walking to golf, and there are 2 golf courses within a 5-minute drive. The inn is also an excellent base for those visiting the area on business, with easy access to major transport links and the major towns and cities in the south of England. Bristol, Bath, Swindon and Reading are all within reach.
