The Experience
Originally designed for arrival by train, the back of this Victorian building is much more elaborate than the front. Walk in to a long bar area with plenty of seating, merry coal-effect fires and a goodly display of Butcombe ales. A big refurbishment has just taken place and they’ve gone for the traditional wellies and Labradors country style. It’s a happy place to pop in for a coffee with your laptop or lunch with friends.
Those who stay get very attractive bedrooms, either in the main building or the converted ticket office at the bottom of the garden. All have beautifully made beds and bathrooms with Bramley soaps. Spend summer evenings in the garden with children cavorting in the play area while you study a menu of seasonal pub classics and some more sophisticated plates from head chef Robbie.
Generous Sunday lunches, live music on Saturday nights, pub quiz on Tuesdays and summer parties make this place a big draw.

Location
The neighbourhood
There's a bus stop right outside which will take you to Bath station in 10 minutes, so it's easy to come by train. In the village there's a post office and a few cafés plus loads of footpaths leading into the countryside. Walk up Solsbury Hill, made famous by Peter Gabriel, a local. Or treat yourselves to a meal at Marco Pierre White's Rudloe Arms up the road. Corsham is a 10-minute drive.
