Situated in the village of Semley, The Benett Arms is a welcoming 17th-century free house where families, dogs and locals gather over pints of West Country ale, crisp cider and generous plates of home-cooked fare.
The original stone inn has been thoughtfully updated to offer a choice of recently upgraded guest rooms, each with garden views, TV, complimentary toiletries, free Wi-Fi, fridge, biscuits, milk, tea and coffee making facilities and a private bathroom with both Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk bath and shower, plus the rooms have exclusive access to a guest garden. There is also a shepherd’s hut for two with double bed and a private garden, for a touch of glamping romance.
Guests can relax in the leafy beer garden, linger on the terrace or settle by the bar’s crackling fire, knowing there is ample on-site parking and plenty of outdoor seating for sunny afternoons. Mornings begin with a hearty full English or Irish breakfast, complete with vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives, local specialities and fresh juice.
The pub’s location makes an ideal base for exploring Wiltshire and beyond: Longleat Safari Park lies 25 km away, Stonehenge 36 km, while Stourhead’s landscaped gardens are a 20-km drive. Closer still are the romantic ruins of Wardour Castle and the soaring spire of Salisbury Cathedral, both about 6.5 km distant, with the prehistoric Avebury Henge reachable in just over an hour.
