The Barn at West Overton

The Barn is situated in a quiet, pretty and tranquil village forming part of the historic World Heritage site of Avebury, set amongst the unique chalk down lands in the Kennet Valley. It has been newly refurbished with a stylish modern interior and is set in a quiet country lane in the peaceful village of West Overton, three miles from the medieval market town of Marlborough and on the doorstep of the famous Neolithic sites of Avebury, Silbury Hill and the Kennet Longbarrow. Guests have their own private access to The Barn which is a separate unit. There is a car port to leave a car and lots of parking space in front of The Barn. We live in Holly Lodge which is on the same plot. The Barn is a separate unit and my husband, daughters and I live in the house on the same plot. During your stay we are around if you have any questions (do not hesitate to knock on our door) but we will aim to leave you in peace and not disturb you.
