The Castle and Ball bar has original oak timbers and period features, and offers local ales and speciality coffees. The restaurant serves a modern British menu, using seasonal produce.
The beautiful inn has a walled beer garden with outdoor seating. There is free on-site parking available, and the Castle and Ball also offers room service and free Wi-Fi access.
The elegant rooms at Castle and Ball are traditionally decorated, and some feature ornate four-poster beds. All rooms have a private bathroom, tea/coffee facilities and a TV.
Marlborough is in the heart of scenic Wiltshire, just a 20-minute drive from Swindon. The mysterious ancient sites at Avebury and Silbury Hill are just a 10-minute drive away.
