Reopened July 2023, after being closed for some years, this charming 17th century pub has had a huge refurbishment, both inside and out. It is now a lovely, comfortable, country inn, on the edge of the Longleat Estate, and close to the beautiful Shearwater Lake. It has two bar areas with plenty of seating for drinkers, a couple of smart dining rooms and a good sized function room. Outside there is both a proper garden, sloping down towards the stream, and a courtyard, at the back of the pub, with a covered area. Both have plenty of seating. It is now free of tie, and has up to four changing real ales on (probably only one in winter), all from Wiltshire and Somerset brewers. Don’t be put off by the imitation casks! Planning to stock real cider soon.

Bar snacks are available throughout the day, while the restaurant is open lunchtime and evening.

Hours shown are Winter hours, likely to be longer in Summer.

They plan to reopen the six bedrooms late June 2025

Historic Interest

The Bath Arms was part of Longleat Estate until sold for death duties in 1923. Sold by Wellington Pub Group to the present owner. Now known as the Bath Arms, Shearwater, to differentiate it from the other Bath Arms a few miles away in Horningsham.
