In a 16th-century inn, Castle and Ball is rich in character, and features a traditional restaurant and ale bar. The inn is situated on Britain’s widest high street, in the heart of Marlborough and comes with free parking. 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.
