In a village at the foot of Salisbury Plain, this ‘impressive’ pub-with-rooms attracts all sorts. Craft-beer lovers come for the artisanal brews from the on-site microbrewery; foodies flock to the well-stocked farm shop and ‘well-populated’ dining room; travellers check in to one of the ‘splendid’ bedrooms, each supplied with fresh flowers and fluffy towels, and styled with a cool, modern-rustic feel. Sample new chef Matt Gillard’s seasonal produce–inspired modern dishes (cooked using ingredients grown in the pub’s own Priory Farm, nearby), or order a pizza from the wood-fired oven in the garden. Afterwards, escape the buzz of the bar in the comfy residents’ lounge, stocked with tea, coffee, biscuits, and – should the countryside beckon – wellies to borrow.
