The 18th century Fonthill Arch, the historic entrance to the Fonthill Estate lies only a mile or so off the A303 in Wiltshire. This lodge has been transformed into a characterful holiday cottage, run by the Beckford Arms which is a pub with rooms on the estate. If you look closely you will see a Green Man carved in the archway.
We were staying, not in this lodge, but in a delightful B&B just around the corner. On our first night we walked through this entrance into the Fonthill estate parkland for about a mile (25 mins walk) to the Beckford Arms for a meal.
Through the arch there is a lake on the left, a cricket pitch on the right. You are in a valley with not a single house in view, just trees and sheep and horses and glimpses of the lake.

That would be a fun place to stay. And you saw the sunset at just the right time.
That’s an expensive place to stay, we were very happy to be just around the corner!
Wonderful. I’m always a bit envious of those who can stay in properties in gardens so you can be there at morning and night. It’s ridiculously dear though, any time I have checked.
