Marco Pierre White hotel in Wiltshire investigated over 'noisy' guinea fowl

Neighbours claim the flock of 30 birds at the hotel are waking them up at 06:00BST

A hotel owned by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White is being investigated over claims its flock of guinea fowl are a noise nuisance.

Neighbours of the Rudloe Arms in Corsham have complained to Wiltshire Council about the noise the birds make.

They claim the 30 birds are waking them up at 06:00BST, roosting in trees and covering their properties in droppings.

The hotel, owned by the Michelin-starred chef, is now being investigated by environmental health officers.

A spokesman for the council said: "We have had complaints from neighbours about loud noise from birds on the hotel premises.

"We are currently in discussion with the management of the hotel and together we are looking to resolve this issue as quickly as possible."

The hotel, which is part of the chef's Wheeler's of St James brand, declined to comment.
