Lady Loretta Rothschild’s hotel plans divide Wiltshire village residents
Lady Loretta Rothschild’s plans to transform the closed Seven Stars Inn in Bottlesford, Wiltshire, into a boutique hotel and yoga venue have divided residents. The proposal could bring the hamlet’s pub back into use, but objectors say its scale may overwhelm the rural setting and put pressure on the narrow local road.
The 16th-century inn was bought by Rothschild for £800,000 after closing in August last year. Her application to Wiltshire Council includes ten bedrooms, a 70-seat restaurant and a yoga studio, alongside refurbishment and extensions. Residents cite increased traffic, construction disruption and safety concerns; supporters say the pub was an important community hub and that a larger business may be needed to make it viable.
