Colin and Clarice were great and responsive hosts. The Folly served as a warm, comforting âhomeâ to return to after a day of rambling over the Wiltshire countryside. Also, the grounds were lovely and beautifully kept. And you can hear the Matins bells of St. Michaelâs ring changes!

The setting was gorgeous-lovely, well kept gardens & extensive pond & waterfall on the slope below the property where we could sit & relax. The hosts made us very welcome. We loved the spiral ironwork staircase up to the mezzanine level where the bedroom was!
