Mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the Abbess of Glastonbury's estate, the Moonraker was originally built in classic Queen Anne style before being upgraded in the 17th century to Bath stone. The Moonraker has 21 beautifully appointed bedrooms, walled gardens, bee hives and rare breed pigs. Chef Matthew Briddon (River Cafe, Paul Heathcotes) has created mouthwatering dishes using the hotels kitchen garden and on site smokery.. Under new owners since July 2013, the hotel, which is near to Bath, Stonehenge and Longleat, has been reinstated to its former glory with upgraded rooms and décor. The hotel is also dog friendly. The changes are making it one of the most popular restaurants near to Bradford on Avon while local Trowbridge residents are discovering what great local food is when visiting the Milking Parlour restaurant. Periodically the hotel is first choice for couples looking for a unique wedding venue in Wiltshire, while the country house setting makes it the perfect location for memorable photos of the day's celebrations.
