Where are we at!
You will find our bed and breakfast a delight, The Well guesthouse is in a beautiful location for touring the local areas such as Avebury, Salisbury, the Cotswolds, Bath, Oxford, Wootton Bassett, Crop circles (in season) and Marlborough ( best High street in Britain), or as a pleasant retreat from those business meetings in Swindon. We are very close to the Ridgeway path (Europes oldest path), which is part of the King Alfred cycle path as well as a national trail. If you are walking or cycling you will find the baths found in all rooms very relaxing after a long day of exercise.
Dinner
Dinner must be pre-arranged and will be available at 19.00 Monday to Thursday from April to September. Main courses – choose either Lasagne, salad & garlic bread, or Haddock wrapped in Parma ham with a Parmesan sauce with new potatoes and vegetables or Sweet potato, spinach and chick pea curry (GF and Vegan) with basmati rice and naan bread – all at £18.00.
Sweets and desserts will be available at £8.00.
We will contact you a day before you arrive to let you know what the menu is. The main building will closed at 20.00 but drinks (soft, beer and wine available) can be taken to guests’ rooms.
Rooms
There are 5 high quality rooms (4 of which are on the ground floor) close to the guesthouse, so you can eat, drink and sleep in comfort. The Well guesthouse is just 5 minutes from Junction 15 of the M4 Motorway, and is well signposted on the A346, and is a stones throw from the Ridgeway walk and 2 golf courses.
Breakfast
We set you up for the day with a hearty cooked breakfast or the very popular vegetarian breakfast, and we can also provide a highly rated, substantial packed lunch. See restaurant page for more details.

| What a great place for a stop over. We stayed at The Well Inn on our first stop over while walking the Ridgeway. It was absolutely perfect. Super friendly hosts, great food ( the Scones and Peanut Cookies were simply the best!!!!! ) and brilliant rooms with comfy beds. The breakfast in the morning powered us onto our next destination. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for a great stay. |

Three of us stayed here for a night while walking the Ridgeway. The location is right by the path in a charming village. We found the room to be clean and comfortable, ideal for our needs. There was a limited choice of menu for an evening meal, but the food was freshly cooked and perfectly fine. Cooked breakfast was also excellent, as were the packed lunches which we were able to buy there. Communication via email prior to our arrival was also good.

Megan and Mike were very welcoming and helpful and very happy to have our 2 dogs to stay as well. Mike cooked a delicious evening meal and hearty breakfast for us before our walks on the Ridgeway. We also arrived to home made cakes and biscuits. Mike was also happy to transport us to the starts of our walks. Great location for the Ridgeway and would highly recommend The Well to anyone.
Rooms
Very comfy bed and clean room with lovely hot water for a soak in the bath or a powerful shower.
Walkability
Very accessible to walkers on the Ridgeway. Not sure about public transport but Mike also kindly helped transport us to the start of our walks.
Food and drinks
Delicious home cooked evening meal and breakfast with pre-ordered choice. Amply choice or drinks

Very friendly and helpful hosts. My wife came down with a cold while walking The Ridgeway and they were so helpful giving her some emergency cold and flu tablets. The evening meal was excellent as was the breakfast. They allowed us to check in early too.
Tips for other travellers October 2024
I would absolutely recommend this as a first or last stop for walkers and riders doing the Ridgeway. It is about 10 miles from the start/finish at Overton Hill carpark, so perfect for a half day journey after being dropped off or before being picked up. The Ridgeway runs right past the village of Ogbourne St George, so no detour necessary to get to The Well.
A lovely family run little BnB close to Marlborough. The hosts were welcoming, with a lovely warm room for our arrival.
The room was basic, yet spacious and immaculately clean. They provided a couple of nice homemade treats, which were appreciated with a cup of tea.
Generous cooked breakfast provided. With parking out the front, or on the side of the road.

“Ideal place to stay while walking The Ridgeway, not far from the trail, about 1km, in a lovely village which is worth walking through, with nice hosts, bright comfortable rooms, a good dinner and an excellent substantial breakfast.”
