Hello everyone,

We are planning a mid-week trip to avebury in the near future, can anyone recommend a good b&b / pub / hotel to stay at in the area.

Cheers.

Unless it's changed hands dont' B & B there!! for a drink in the afternoon it's lovely and food seems to be ok.... but I wouldn't recommend it. Pricey.

Apart from the Red Lion, I only know of these two:

The Lodge is within the circle. The New Inn is over one mile away.

We stayed at the Old Crown in Ogbourne St George. It worked out quite well. We had a family room (me, Sue and the 2 Squidlings), and they do quite nice food (they've got a little restaurant as well as bar food), and it's a pub (always a bonus!). Can't recall how much it cost, but I found a few refs to it on Google...

Cheers everyone for your suggestions.
Sorry to hear that the red lion was so poor, it should be the ideal place, lets hope the locked door policy changes with the refurb.
