“Just off the M4 in the North Wessex Downs, this boutique bolthole successfully serves both metropolitans and locals alike. Seasonal local produce and roaring fires make this a popular dining destination, and a stylish makeover in soft fabrics and comfy beds offers supreme comfort for overnighters.”

The Pheasant Freehouse & Hotel
A revamped old sheep drovers’ inn, once on the route from Wales to London. Bought and revamped by 27-year-old Jack Greenall, it is now a sophisticated and charming, yet very affordable, weekend bolthole, perfect for Londoners without much time to spare, as it stands close to the M4.
