Country house

The Lamb began trading as a public house probably as early as the 12th Century. By 1870 it was already well established as a posting inn that supplied 300 post horses for coaches going to and from London and the West Country. To this day the building retains plenty of its original character and features including inglenook fireplaces, flag stone floors and heavy wooden beams. Inside you will find the Dining Room, the Whisky & Cigar Bar, the Sitting Room and the Meeting Room as well as fourteen individually furnished bedrooms. The Lamb Inn sits in the middle of the charming Wiltshire village of Hindon and is only 20 minutes away from Salisbury.

Old Wardour Castle

Old Wardour Castle, Wiltshire, UK, SP3 6RR

Country house
·200 attendees
·3 meeting rooms

Old Wardour Castle sits dramatically as the centrepiece to a beautiful and romantic landscape beside a secluded lake deep in the Wiltshire countryside. Inspired by a French chateau, it was built in the late 14th century by the fifth Lord John Lovel. The castle was used as a luxurious home, which reflected Lord Lovel’s status as a nobleman and his immense wealth, gained from his marriage to well connected heiress Maud Holand. During the English Civil War in the 1640s however, the castle was damaged beyond repair. In the 1700s, the Arundell family integrated the ruins into the landscaped grounds of their new home. Ruins were popular in picturesque landscapes as a reminder of a world of knightly chivalry and Old Wardour was no exception. Today, the ruined walls, gothic stairways and lakeside setting offer a storybook location for events. The distinctive hexagonal walls are instantly recognisable as the backdrop for scenes from the film ‘Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves’, starring Kevin Costner. Most recently, the Castle has been licensed for civil wedding ceremonies.
