The hub of the village, within trotting distance of the iconic white horse, this ‘impressive’ pub-with-rooms has much going on. A buzzy on-site microbrewery calls to craft-beer lovers; the well-stocked farm shop and ‘well-populated’ dining room entice epicures; a take-one-leave-one library beguiles bookworms. ‘Splendid’ bedrooms have fresh flowers, fluffy towels and a cool, rustic flair. In the kitchen, seasonal food exploits ingredients from the pub’s own Priory Farm, nearby; in the garden, pizzas arrive courtesy of the wood-fired oven. Away from it all, the comfy residents’ lounge has a generous stash of tea, coffee and biscuits – and, befitting the many muddy trails from the door, there are wellies to borrow.
