Historic 450-Year-Old Inn with Dog-Friendly Rooms Near Highclere Castle
Dining
The Pheasant Inn serves specialized seasonal menus crafted from local produce in its large restaurant. Breakfast offers both a continental buffet with pastries, cereals, and yogurt, and an à la carte menu. Evening menus include dishes like lamb rump, lamb and mint pie, scallops with pea purée, and a 1000g Tomahawk steak (order in advance) alongside local draft cider from Aspall Cyder.
Rooms
The 14 stylishly decorated bedrooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee making facilities with bottled water, and Roberts radios tuned to Radio 4. En suite shower rooms include complimentary Bramley toiletries; some rooms offer baths or walk-in rainfall showers. Guests report extremely comfortable beds and high-quality bedding, though small double rooms can be tight for two large suitcases.
Location
The inn sits just a 2-minute drive from junction 14 of the M4 motorway, making it a convenient stopover from Heathrow. Nearby attractions include Highclere Castle (famous for Downton Abbey), the prehistoric Avebury Stone Circles, and Newbury Racecourse (20 minutes by car). Lambourn racing centre is 5 miles away, and the area offers easy access to National Trust properties like Ashdown House.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The Pheasant Inn offers dog-friendly rooms with dedicated amenities: a welcome box of high-quality treats, a promised bed or blanket, and a water bowl. Ground-floor rooms are available for elderly dogs, and staff provide special doggy boxes with chews during dinner. A charge of £20 per dog per night applies, and a poo bin in the car park has been suggested by recent guests.
