About the host

Hosted by Bob Matthews

Host profile image
Bob and Liz have lived in this area for 20 years having previously lived in Asia and Australia for 12 years. We know this area very well and are always pleased to recommend places of interest, things to do and places to eat.

Why they chose this property

When not let in its entirety on a self catering basis, Lorne House is a fully functioning B&B so all rooms are ensuite with wetrooms or bathrooms, fluffy towels and egyptian cotton bed linen. Our 8 rooms are all beautifully furnished, all have tvs, irons and ironing boards and there is free wifi throughout the house. The dining room is large and light for dinners and functions. The kitchen is fully equipped including a large range style cooker. In nice weather the large verandah at the rear of the house is a perfect afternoon and early evening sun trap.

What makes this property unique

Our wetrooms and bathrooms always impress and one of our rooms has a juliet balcony opening out with views over the Wiltshire countryside. Lorne House was the childhood home of Reverend Awdry, the author of the Thomas the Tank Engine stories ; he claimed that it was living here as a boy and listening to the trains running between the famous Brunel built railway tunnels on the line behind the house that inspired his famous stories.
