The good old Ivy Hotel has finally bitten the dust..thee closest explore one could wish for being only a stone`s throw from my house.Some history to fill you in....

A charming not so little hotel in the village of Wroughton,that started out as Bed&Breakfast concern and went on to become rather large with 32 rooms.It went into administration in 2013 and has first suffered from squatters living there during 2014 to early 2015,then having the local morons go in and trash the place.I tried to gain a visit legit with the new owners but as per usual they hid behind Elf n Safety so I have waited and waited for the opportunity to see inside and today was that day so two fingers up to you new owners who plan on demolishing everything to build yet another Macarthy Stone luxury residence for wealthy peoples.

The lovely frontage

In the grounds is Ridgeway Hall,a purpose built bungalow used for actual wedding ceremonies and receptions

I think I like it more from the outside than on the inside  :-D

Shame it's a bit messy in there, still a cool place. That picture of the frontage is great.

Very interesting to see before and after. It must be a miracle how the TV in pic 2 has stayed in one piece!

Love that first shot, looks so inviting. Such a shame about the inside. 

Cant insgine why why a little place like this doesn't 'work'. I would have thought it would be perfect for events & weddings. 

Thanks for sharing mate (y)
