Boutique Berkshire bolthole the Pheasant Inn is the kind of country pub with rooms where we’d happily wait out the winter. Under the guidance of Jack Greenall (whose family has been pulling pints and putting people up since the 1750s) and with a ground-up makeover from designers Flora Soames and Octavia Dickinson, this 450-year-old former drovers’ rest has recently seen more cosmopolitan sorts flocking here for cookery that shows off the best of the North Wessex Downs’ farm finds and rooms with polished yet characterful Brit charm. But, it’s struck the Goldilocks principle in that locals settle by the fire for pints in equal numbers; it’s easily reached from London yet surrounded by greenery; and for a room the prices are just right.

  

The Pheasant Inn sits in Berkshire’s Valley of the Racehorse, so called for the thoroughbreds that train in its patchwork of fields. Charming market town Hungerford is a 10-minute drive away.
