    Great contact from the host, and the property was welcoming and comfortable, they had thought of everything you might need for a short break.

    The rustic charm, the location and the space and the little touches such as Crisps and sweets laid out as well as milk in the fridge.

The Old Tavern Annex is the original stone built area of the Tavern, once said to have hosted the areas first Pony and Trap taxi service! Bought by Arkells Brewery in 1866 it became the Butchers Arms and in more recent times independently owned, Riffs Bar. Riffs is now closed as we are concentrating on our family. The annex is cosy and rustic with a log burner for those cold winter evenings. Countryside views with a decked garden area plus private off street parking.
We were once Landlord and Landlady of Riffs, the award winning music pub that hosts the Annex. We have now closed the pub to concentrate on our family. With a nod to past history, we welcome you to The Old Tavern Annex.
Walking distance to the Bluebell Woods of Greenhill and a Roman Camp. Close to Royal Wootton Bassett which is a friendly market town located in north Wiltshire at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills. The town benefits from a weekly market and there is also a good selection of local inns and independent shops. This is an ideal touring base to explore the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.
