Whatever the occasion, whether you are on holiday, business or just passing through, The Porton Hotel offers comfortable accommodations, superb home cooked food and fun entertainment! All of their guests are greeted with a warm and friendly welcome from Ash, Jasmin and all the staff, who will make sure your stay absolutely delightful. The location provides easy access to Porton Down Facilities, the World Heritage site of Stonehenge in Amesbury and the cherished Salisbury Cathedral in the centre of Salisbury.

The Porton Hotel is a Victorian red brick building, once the hotel for the now-defunct railway station, now the only pub in the village. It has two bars and a restaurant area inside, while outside there is a large sloping garden with various swings and things. It recently re-opened after a few months' break, with a new landlord who wants to concentrate on real ale quality. It's still a bit tacky inside, but this may well improve in the coming months. I had a pint of Black Sheep Bitter which was in first class condition and a real joy to drink in a pub so local ot me. Although it's a bit out of the way, it's worth deviating from the A338 to find, and it is well worth including in a mechanised crawl of the Bourne Valley where there are so many very good pubs.
