Fantastic church, beautiful grounds and Priscilla was so welcoming even leaving us homemade shortbread telling us nice places to sit in the churchyard etc. A flushing toilet, power and a kitchenette area were really great. I will be sharing my good time everywhere I can. We went to Avebury and Lacock Abbey as suggested and they were well worth a visit.

Beautiful Church and a real welcome from the team who greeted us and looked after us. Facilities were basic but good, camp beds were comfortable and were all set up and ready to go. The Churchyard was pretty with a fabulous lavender walkway at the front and a more private area to sit in of an evening at the back. We got to watch a bell ringing practice too which was lovely.. unfortunately I broke my leg walking near Avebury on day 2 and the team were incredibly helpful and supportive. I would definitely go back and use other Champing churches. An unusual and wonderful venue.

We were incredibly comfortable in this beautiful church – amazing to be trusted to take care of it for a night. We slept well, the kitchen and bathroom facilities were super and our church mouse couldn’t have been more thoughtful and accommodating. We stayed with our dog Flossie who was instantly at home, tucked up in our sleeping bags with fairy lights we woke to gentle light through the stained glass. Amazing.

Lovely stay, lovely church, we are trying to fit as many stays as possible in various churches so stay 1 night in each, well worth the cost and will come back one day. So nice to have a little kitchen area and inside toilet and we were grateful for the tea and coffee etc. It’s a great way to help with the upkeep of the churches, brilliant idea.

Really enjoyable and unique experience in a beautiful church. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and really wish we could have stayed more than one night. Our 3 year old really enjoyed it (particularly the toys in the church :)), was sad to leave and really wants to do it again!

This was our second time at St Lawrence’s and it was great. Our host was welcoming and everything was ready for our stay. It’s a pretty church with a lovely outside space for sitting on summer nights. The lavender border smells beautiful. Hilmarton is a great location for exploring Avebury and the surrounding countryside. Really happy to be able to stay there again.

Such a brilliant venue for my first Champing experience, although I unexpectedly had to Champ alone, I felt safe, secure and had a very warm welcome and introduction to the lovely church. The little touches like cake, shortbread, fairy lights and blankets were really appreciated. The grounds are amazing to enjoy on a sunny morning. I felt like the church is a really well loved space and this was evident in all the care that was taken to ensure an enjoyable stay.  My first Champing trip and I’m hooked already – can’t wait to come back to St Laurence had to explore some more churches too. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

St. Lawrence provided a great introduction to my champing experience! Priscilla was a kind a gracious greeter and gave wonderful instructions and recommendations. If only I were staying longer! The lavender was a welcome site, and the churchyard was peaceful and beautiful at sunset. A quick trip to Tesco, and I had a luxurious dinner in the seating area, the door nearby open for natural light and fresh air. Highly recommend Hilmarton for a champing stay. (And it’s an easy drive to Stonehenge!)

Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful church in the charming village of Hilmarton. Priscilla was so helpful and knowledgeable giving us the history of the church and her homemade shortbread was the best we have ever tasted. Beautiful walks on the doorstep and a charming pub called the Duke with excellent food opposite. We even had the opportunity for a tour of the bell tower and listen to the bell ringers in the morning which was amazing. Thank you so much, we loved it.
