The Junipers - An Award Winning Property

In the little hamlet of Firsdown, itself a quiet retreat, sits the stylish and modern bungalow - The Junipers, which has just received the accolade of Golden Achievement Award for Excellence. Perfectly situated for exploring the mystical and beautiful area surrounding historic Salisbury.

Owner and engineer Laurence Slater, has been developing the property for 22 years and has obviously brought a very individual style to the B&B, which adjoins his own bungalow. Three bedrooms are available to guests and are all en-suite, leading to the guests dining room/lounge.


Laurence has put a lot of love and energy into the property,which has been purpose built to his desires. In short, this means that his own hands have made the maple bedroom furniture, purpose made garden furniture and steel spider web gazebo. Patio doors in the back bedroom open onto the back garden, which is perfect for an evening drink and relaxing as the sun slowly descends. Breakfast is certainly a treat, only the finest local and award winning ingredients such as bacon and sausage make it into your plate, and with homemade suits of armour on display, it shouldn’t be hard to find a blade to spread jam on your toast!

You could visit the Salisbury area a great number of times and still not discover everything you were hoping for. This is why Laurence is more than happy to help plan your tours. He suggests similar places of interest that you may not have considered or heard of and gives directions that take you through more picturesque and country settings. The world famous Stonehenge is just 20 minutes away while Avebury is within easy reach. These ancient and mysterious monuments must be visited, they have inspired man to question his heritage throughout time and still do to this day.

Winchester and Salisbury Cathedral are a must for any visitor; these commanding edifices are just a few of the many historical sites on offer.

The Wiltshire countryside offers the outdoor enthusiast a haven of activities. Walking and cycling routes meander throughout lovely forest trails; the perfect places to watch nature at work. Deer, badgers, butterflies and orchids draw people from all over Britain. The Junipers is the perfect place to discover Wiltshire and all it has to offer. With excellent parking, beautiful surrounding scenery, nearby coastline as well as convenient and well established pubs and restaurants in the local area, you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere as unique, warm and welcoming
