About Pear Tree Inn Whitley
Bowood House and Avebury are both within reach of Pear Tree Inn Whitley, making this small Melksham inn a sensible base for exploring some of Wiltshire's better-known estates and ancient sites. Closer to home there's a golf course nearby along with local pubs, restaurants and walking routes, so days can be filled without much need for a car once you've arrived.
The inn itself has just eight rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Drinks can be brought to the room, and WiFi is included throughout. It's a straightforward, no-frills set-up rather than a large hotel operation.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and meals, with kids' menus available, plus a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days. Practical extras include free on-site parking, an electric vehicle charge point, 24-hour reception, and a welcome for pets. It suits guests who want a comfortable, unfussy stopover with genuine countryside attractions close by.
