Home Truths
— The staircase is open, so children should be supervised.
— The living room fireplace is ornamental only.
— The ceilings in the Living Room are low (around 6ft 3in / 190cm) so tall guests may struggle, (although it does add to the cosy vibe).

About the host
Hosted by Host
We're a family duo. My wife, Chloe, has been part of Ramsbury for as long as she can remember, apart from a handful of years when she ventured to London to meet and marry Tommy, an adopted southerner who spends many hours as a captain at the local Ramsbury Cricket Club.
We reside just a few hundred metres from the property and can be on hand with local knowledge to help ensure you can maximise your village escape. We have two young children who occupy our time and whether you're bringing your little ones with you, or enjoying an escape from them, we can provide guidance on local activities to suit your needs.
We're also fortunate to have a happy and energetic four legged friend and can help you discover beautiful local walks to enjoy with your companion, whether it's a short stroll or a longer stretch to really tire them out before enjoying a drink at the local pub.
Chloe is currently retraining to become an Acupuncturist, whilst Tommy works within graphic design.
