Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Pull off the A303 to find this pub with rooms, which set the style for the small Chickpea group. The 200-year-old inn is a happy mix of traditional pub comforts and contemporary touches, with deep-blue walls, beams, a log fire, wheelback chairs, benches, brasses, and amusingly eclectic artworks. Bedrooms are smart and simple, with a neutral palette, little blasts of colour, hand-made lampshades, Land & Water toiletries. A short menu mixes classics (fish pie, burger, bangers) with inventive modern cooking of dishes such as roasted cauliflower, crispy cavolo nero, wild garlic pesto, patatas bravas. Meanwhile, a pizza trailer, Nole at the Bell, is fired up on occasion.
