1. The Bell at Skenfrith, Monmouthshire<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the shadow of a Welsh hill, with a river running past outside and a bar and restaurant within, The Bell at Skenfrith<\/a> is popular with walkers and Sunday lunchers, as well as overnight guests. Recently refurbished, its former country-house style has been replaced by a more contemporary look (traditionalists will appreciate the vintage tables tucked among modern stick-back chairs, and the various antique pieces peppered through the 11 bedrooms). Order a pint of Butty Bach then enjoy smoked ham hock, mustard and parsley croquettes or truffled wild mushroom, spinach and potato gnocchi.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Bath Arms, Wiltshire<\/span><\/h2>\n

This creeper-clad inn sits in the winsome village of Horningsham; listen from the mill pond and you might just hear the roar of a lion \u2013 this is Longleat Estate territory and the safari park is close by. Refurbished by the Beckford group last year, The Bath Arms<\/a> is now the best dining pub for several West Country miles, with 16 smart bedrooms<\/a> to boot. Flagstones, open fires and attentive staff are crowd-pleasers. As is food more polished than the unpretentious atmosphere suggests. Beckford\u2019s side business as a wine supplier means you won\u2019t go thirsty either.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Gunton Arms, Norfolk<\/span><\/h2>\n

Set within an ancient deer park and owned by art dealer Ivor Braka, this much-loved Norfolk pub pairs inglenook fireplaces and candlelight with graphic works by Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George and Anthony Caro. Exuding a lived-in, bohemian glamour, The Gunton Arms<\/a>\u2019 16 bedrooms were designed by Robert Kime (and are as textile and antique-rich as you would expect, with pops of contemporary art). Food-wise there\u2019s also a duality, with gastropub classics (think crab pasta with chilli) on one side and gutsy steaks, chops and sausages cooked over fire on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n
