Best gastro pubs with rooms in Wiltshire
Featured Hotels
Crown & Anchor Inn
Hungerford, Wiltshire
Rescued from closure by two local couples, this gastropub at the heart of a picturesque village, has stylish bedrooms and cooking of a very high order.
Helen Browning's Royal Oak
Swindon, Wiltshire
'Bags of character and a warm vibe' are on offer at this pub with rooms on an organic farm in a pretty l village on the Marlborough Downs.
Red Lion at East Chisenbury
East Chisenbury, Wiltshire
From a burger in the beer garden or bar, to Michelin-starred cooking, Guy and Brittany Manning will provide at their thatched village pub. Boutique guest-house rooms have decking almost on the banks of the Avon. Better than ever, say our readers.
The Pear Tree Inn
Melksham, Wiltshire
This gastropub-with-rooms is set in a beguilingly pretty 17th-century Bath stone inn with mullioned windows and cascading wisteria, and lovely gardens outside.
The Beckford Arms
Tisbury, Wiltshire
Patio doors open to the garden on a fine day at Dan Brod and Charlie Luxton's updated stone-built inn on the edge of Wiltshire's Fonthill Estate. The food is pub grub par excellence, from home- made game pie with a pint of Butcombe bitter, to weekend pizzas from the wood-fired oven, and suckling pig roasted over a fire in the bar. Modern country-style bedrooms have natural toiletries and vintage Welsh blankets.
The Bath Arms
Horningsham, Wiltshire
The ancient stone-built Bath Arms in woodlands on the Longleat estate 'is a welcome sight after a long journey', and doesn't disappoint within, with 'appealing menus' 'attentive and pleasant staff' and great-value, well-decorated rooms.
The Three Daggers
Westbury, Wiltshire
With its own farm shop, brewery and spa barn with outdoor hot tub and sauna as well as a kiddies' playground, this 'buzzy boozer' is 'so much more than a pub with rooms', writes our inspector.
The Methuen Arms
Corsham, Wiltshire
Ideally situated beside Corsham Court at the heart of the village, this former coaching inn has smartly refurbished bedrooms, a friendly, casual ambience and a menu of pub classics and fancier dishes, using produce from the kitchen garden.
The Queen's Head
Salisbury, Wiltshire
Still very much a village local, with four simple, tasteful bedrooms, this atmospheric 19th-century beamed pub, serving staples and more exciting dishes, has been given a new lease of life by the Chickpea Group.
The Royal Oak
Salisbury, Wiltshire
An 18th-century part-thatched former tannery turned village ale house has been renovated in a style of rustic simplicity, with unfussy bedrooms and a dining room serving pub classics and more complex dishes.
The Bradley Hare
Warminster, Wiltshire
In a small village on the Duchy of Somerset's estate, the Victorian Somerset Arms was relaunched in 2021 as an idealised rustic-chic country pub.
The Compasses Inn
Tisbury, Wiltshire
Welcoming and peaceful, Ben Maschler's thatched 14th-century inn has all the traditional comforts, sophisticated gastropub dishes and classics, simple-chic bedrooms, and the Nadder valley on the doorstep.
The Bell & Crown
Warminster, Wiltshire
Pull off the A303 to find this dining-pub-with-rooms, which set the style for the small Chickpea group (see also The Pembroke Arms, Salisbury).
The Pembroke Arms
Salisbury, Wiltshire
Opposite the entrance to Wilton House, seat of the earls of Pembroke, this extensively refurbished Georgian building is once again run by Ido and Alison Davids, who were at the reins from 2000 to 2012.
