AA B&B STORY OF THE YEAR - sponsored by Eviivo
Fosse Farmhouse – Castle Combe, Wiltshire (below, centre)
Set in quiet countryside not far from Castle Combe, this bed and breakfast has well-equipped
bedrooms decorated in keeping with its 18th-century origins. Excellent dinners are served in
the farmhouse, and cream teas can be enjoyed in the old stables or the delightful garden.
Caron Cooper, the owner, is a huge lover of antiques. From the age
of sixteen, she has been dealing in vintage kitchen decorative items
and French Brocante. When she bought this house built in the
1700s, it was “old, rundown and rather beat
up”. Caron became determined to fix up the
house and 28 years later, Fosse Farmhouse
is now an award-winning Bed and Breakfast.
