location makes The Beckford Arms a superb spot for a quiet
getaway.
Rooms
Head up the grand Georgian staircase to eight gorgeous bedrooms. With their simple, unmistakably modern feel, you'll feel like you're in an upmarket hotel rather than a country pub. Rooms are kitted out with all manner of creature comforts, from Egyptian cotton sheets, Siberian goose down duvets and Vintage Welsh wool blankets.
Bringing children? We recommend the attic room, with two bedrooms.
For those seeking a little solitude, there are two stunning lodges a ten minute walk across the estate, each with a simple kitchen, wood-burning stove, and gorgeous mezzanine views.
Restaurant & bar
Taking full advantage of the surrounding countryside, the kitchen celebrates local ingredients, favouring simple, seasonal dishes. The rustic bar menu offers a range of upscale snacks and jazzy pub staples, including homemade sausage rolls, pheasant fingers, cottage pie, crab cakes or braised beef. In warmer weather, guests can spill out into the garden.
Amongst a large range of ales, The Beckford Arms exclusively offers the Beckford Phoenix ale, designed by nearby brewer Keystone.
