Due to restrictions there was a breakfast left in the bedroom along with milk and fresh juice It was perfect and the room was warm and very clean. The bathroom was large and parking was good and close to the room
CanadaThe place is charming, rooms and bathrooms with all commodities, furniture is great, mattress very comfortable. Breakfast fantastic, would eat there every day. Great hosts, will be back. Makes you think running a B&B is easy, that how smooth the staff is working for the guests. You can feel the love and pride of doing a good job.
United KingdomBreakfast was excellent - The owner Paul was a fantastic host, very pleasant and couldnt have done more for us. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
United KingdomLovely, well cooked breakfasts -good variety with vegetarian options ; welcoming , helpful, friendly , unobtrusive staff - helpful with information about locality, facilities and what's on; - good 'green' ethic with recycling etc ; a beautiful building - quiet setting and peaceful but also in easy walking distance of nights out ( I went to see a good band and a great comedian) also near restaurants and takeaways and convenience shop - AND also in walking distance of beautiful country walks along the canal , for example, AND with easy access to a good bus service. I was able to park the car and leave it for a week which made my stay even more of a break! Very comfortable room - I felt very well looked after . The owners know the area very well so this helped me find out gems in the region I might have missed otherwise . The town itself was lovely . The living room/garden room looked inviting as well but I was too busy to use it .

Host Info
A 17th Century former farmhouse, The Conigre is a small and friendly family-run hotel full of rustic charm and character. It is uniquely located close to the centre of Melksham. Park up in our car park and enjoy a short stroll to the many pubs, excellent restaurants and other local amenities in this bustling market town. The Conigre has 8 individually styled, warm and charming guest rooms, either in the main house or in the converted stable block with easy access to our courtyard/car park. Whether you require a room full of rustic character or a more functional business room we have a room to suit; we will always recommend the best room for you. All our rooms have crisp cotton sheets, fluffy towels, luxury toiletries, complimentary tea/coffee/biscuits, free wi-fi and flat screen colour TV.
The Conigre has been home to local couple Andy and Justina Lee and their family since Jan 2020. Andy is your principal host throughout the week. Justina enjoys helping out and meeting guests at weekends. You may well meet other family members who assist us from time to time. We thoroughly enjoy what we do and hope our guests will feel the warmth of our welcome at The Conigre, at home in it's surroundings, and above all, enjoy their stay with us, whether for business or leisure.
Melksham is a historic market town and thriving business centre in the heart of Wiltshire, perfectly situated for exploring the Georgian City of Bath, the National Trust Village of Lacock and the cluster of other National Trust properties on our door step. Enjoy a cycle or walk along the beautiful Kennet & Avon Canal and visit the fascinating Caen Hill fight of Locks. The World Heritage sites of Stonhenge and Avebury, as well as Longleat, Castle Combe and Salisbury are all easily accessible. Book your stay with us if you are attending an event at The Assembly Hall. We also offer accommodation for the Bath Half Marathon, Devizes to Westminster canoe race, Badminton Horses Trials, Chippenham Folk Festival and the increasingly popular Bath Christmas Market weekends. We are situated approximately 20 minutes from Junction 17 of the M4 (Chippenham), giving swift access to Swindon and Bristol. The local business centres of Trowbridge, Chippenham, Corsham and Devizes are also close by. Melksham has its own train station and buses run frequently from outside the hotel or the market place, just a couple of minutes walk away.
