A Timeless and Beautiful Rural Setting

We and our Sproodle (Woof! Woof!) have just returned from spending ten days at Totteridge Farm. Despite being a working farm, our hosts, Caroline and Anthony, were warm, friendly and welcoming. Caroline kept in touch throughout our stay and we got the impression that nothing would be too much trouble. The fresh farm eggs were a lovely touch and we even learnt which mushrooms were safe to eat for breakfast! The purple file for personal use was a great idea. It contained tourist information and some lovely walks, including one or two easy circular routes for oldies like us. There was also safe dog walking around field edges owned by the farm and a five minute walk led to the beautiful canal ... more dog walking ... to Wooton Rivers and the lovely pub there, that seems to be open all day. Our van is only a two berth and we managed the last mile or so of narrow lanes easily. The views across the valley were lovely: all golden wheat and green hills with the sun setting in the west. There is a train, out of sight, down in the valley but, for us, it just added to the charm of the place. The area itself is gorgeous. Pewsey is delightful and has most things you would need (including a supplier of bottled gas). Wilton and Wilton Windmill is worth a visit but aim for Sunday as it's run by volunteers. The location was also great for travelling to Avebury, Stonehenge and Old Sarum. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Totteridge Farm has joined our list of special CLs. Hopefully, we'll be back before too long.
