Plan Your Trip

You’ll be perfectly positioned to explore the glorious Wiltshire countryside, with the rolling hills and beautiful meadows on your doorstep.

Why not bring your furry friend along too? Dogs are welcome in all of our rooms making your trip that extra bit special with your best friend by your side.

In our opinion, no Cotswolds road-trip would be complete without a visit to the picture-postcard village of Castle Combe, it makes for a beautiful walk from Ford, or it’s just a hop, skip and a jump away by car. We’ll be sure to welcome you back to the pub with a hearty feast and a cosy nights stay.
