A country bed & breakfast in Downton, nine kilometres from Salisbury Cathedral. Free private parking, free Wi-Fi, a quiet garden, and a full English breakfast that's worth waking up for.
Set on Salisbury Road in the village of Downton, Barnfield sits among hedgerows and farmland — a quietly elegant base for exploring Wiltshire and the New Forest.

Salisbury Cathedral is 9.2 km away. Old Sarum, the ancient hill fort, is 13 km. Stonehenge, the New Forest, and the market towns of Hampshire are all an easy morning's drive.

Immaculately clean, beautifully quiet, and the breakfast was the best we had on our three-week tour of England. The hosts greeted us like old friends.
A perfect base for Salisbury and Stonehenge. Comfortable bed, excellent shower, and parking right outside the door. We'll absolutely return next spring.
Exceptional value. The garden was a lovely spot for a cup of tea after walking into Downton. The hosts' recommendations for dinner were spot on.
