The Shaw Country Hotel

What a hidden gem this hotel is! We spent three nights at the hotel whilst visiting family in the area. On approach it looks beautiful - an ivy clad old stone farm house set off the road in very pretty grounds. The hotel itself comprises about a dozen rooms, a small residents lounge, a pleasant bar, fantastic restaurant, a quiet patio and garden. Our room was large and well appointed with a huge six foot bed; the bathroom was great - I have never experienced a bath that fills so quickly, especially in a hotel!! Its location was close to family but is deal for visiting nearby Lacock, Bath (which we did - about 9 miles away), Salisbury and other local attractions and places of interest. The owners and their staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant was fantastic - we ate in the first night, bar meals, which were tasty, generous in size, beautifully cooked and well presented at a very reasonable price. The cooked breakfast was to die for - good quality ingredients prepared to perfection; we looked forward to it each morning! This hotel comes highly recommended both from a quality and value for money viewpoint, in fact we're already planning another visit later in the summer!

Just had our 4th stay at The Shaw and yet again it was just like coming home. Nick, Paul and Emma are three wonderful people who make sure your stay is everything you want it to be. My husband and I would not stay anywhere else when we visit the area. Bedroom is a delight with a massive bed and a beautiful bathroom. All the staff are warm and welcoming and we can not wait for our next visit. Well done you three and we recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

We were very pleased with our room, which was large with good facilities & plenty of storage space & hangers. The huge bed was very comfortable with good crisp linen & the bathroom was large & very clean. The full English breakfast was also excellent!

First class, we received excellent service, from the bar to the restaurant. We were well looked after, the wine was excellent and the food delicious, can recommend the sea bass as well as the lamb. The food was cooked to order and arrived hot. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, we will dine here again.

Went for a meal on a Saturday lunch time in January. There was nobody else there at all, which doesn't usually bode well, but all concerns were dispelled when the food arrived. £20 for three excellent courses was great value; the whole party was so stuffed that nobody had an evening meal (meaning it was even better value). I could pick holes, but I won't, because for what it was that would be nitpicking. Highly recommended.

It was an ideal venue for my mother in law's 90th birthday to enjoy drinks with 56 friends and family members on arrival, a 2 course sit down meal of high quality, tea and coffee, wine and speeches with sparkling wine! Service was efficient and friendly, food was very tasty and had great 'plate appeal'. We were all very well looked after.

Very good, some of the corridors were a bit in need of a Refurb but the room was great, clean fresh and a nice view over the garden. Lovely power shower. Breakfast was very good and made a effort to sort out gluten free. Would definitely go back again.
