The candlelit dining room at Ember House, prepared for a special occasion.

For celebrations and special occasions

A beautiful place to mark the moments that matter.

Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and unhurried weekends together, with a private hot tub, a proper dining room and a thoughtful welcome waiting in Swindon.

What matters to you

The details we've made sure to get right.

A table made for gathering

Private hot tub

An evening under the lit pergola, in an enclosed garden reserved entirely for your group.

Space to stay together

Three bedrooms, a snug lounge and room for up to eight guests at Ember House.

Thoughtful arrival touches

Tell us what you are marking and we can help with flowers, a bottle or a handwritten note.

Kitchen for a proper meal

Direct, local help

You will speak to the Wick & Co team, who know the home and can help shape the stay.

Why guests choose us

A special occasion does not need a packed itinerary. Often it needs one lovely place where everyone can arrive, put their bags down and be together. Ember House gives a celebration its own rhythm: drinks beneath the pergola, dinner around a candlelit table, then a late conversation in the hot tub.

The house sleeps up to eight across three bedrooms in Wichelstowe, on the southern edge of Swindon. There is free driveway parking, a fully equipped kitchen, hotel quality linen and self check-in, so guests arriving from different directions can settle in without ceremony.

Wick & Co is a small local host, not an events venue. Quiet celebrations and considered gatherings are welcome; parties that would disturb our neighbours are not. Share the occasion and guest list with us before booking and we will help you plan the right kind of stay.
