The <strong>Great</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Way</strong> caters to the desires of<br />
all travellers, with its mix of quirky glamping<br />
and camping sites, pretty countryside B&Bs,<br />
cool city hotels, traditional village pubs and<br />
even fancy castles and stately homes<br />
towns, villages and trails of the Vale of Pewsey, or sit<br />
out under the stars around a wood fire with a glass<br />
of farm-grown English wine. There are five luxury<br />
log pods in total, and they are exclusively for adults<br />
(for ages 18 and above), with fantastic views over<br />
the Pewsey Vale, and with the home comforts of a<br />
hot shower and a King Size bed in a double-glazed,<br />
underfloor-heated. There is plenty of choice for<br />
walking, cycling or even kayaking, with many dog<br />
friendly pubs nearby. Come home to your own firepit,<br />
spectacular sunsets and dark skies. There is also an<br />
all-weather shelter and BBQ area.<br />

Troutbeck Guest House<br />
The Red Lion Freehouse and Troutbeck Guest House<br />
at East Chisenbury have gained quite a reputation<br />
for providing the best of Wiltshire's food, drink<br />
and accommodation in a truly beautiful setting.<br />
The thatched pub now holds a Michelin star for<br />
its outstanding food, but has never changed its<br />
relaxed, distinctively 'pubby' atmosphere. If there<br />
were any improvements to be made to the Red<br />
Lion experience, it could only be the addition of a<br />
cozy, classy guest house to go back to after a lovely<br />
meal. In December 2012 the Red Lion opened a<br />
newly converted bungalow to its loyal following – a<br />
gorgeously polished accommodation sat right on the<br />
bank of the River Avon.<br />
