The Four Seasons

“Escape the every day in every season”

Teffont Evias is the quintessential English village, rooted in the landscape of its own history.
Spring comes early in this favoured valley with woodland flowers and a wealth of wildlife waking early in the year. A spring break in February or March is a refreshing escape from the grey metropolitan murk.

Summer starts early and lingers long. From the open tops of the chalk downland to the hidden river valleys of the Nadder and its tributaries and the massive swathes of original forest that cloak the northern part of the vale, the summer splendour makes this an ideal time to visit. Nothing is ever busy or hurried in this warm heart of Wiltshire.

Autumn has its own warmth and many seasonal comforts. The woodland fruits, the busy wildlife preparing for the winter and the warm afternoons on the south-facing slopes all make this mellow season the perfect time to enjoy fresh air days and fireside nights.

Winters hereabouts are short. The open tops of the downs make for brisk and bracing walks and the wealth of history in Wessex’ historic capital of Wilton, the splendid cathedral city of Salisbury or the many fine houses and estates that are open to visit make a winter break the perfect season for refreshment.

Whatever the season, you will find many good reasons to escape the everyday at Howard’s House where you’re always sure of a warm welcome.
