Red Lion at East Chisenbury - Inn in Wiltshire
East Chisenbury, SN9 6AQ, Wiltshire
England,
Royaume-Uni
It's not your average pub and you won't find anything other than beautifully dressed tables in the restaurant, with fresh flowers, sparkling glasses, an à la carte menu (they're in the Michelin guide) and an extra private dining room upstairs. Owners Guy and Brittany are also chefs: everything is homemade, even the breads, pastries, muffins and granola on the breakfast table – often guests have three courses. Later you can spill out into the gardens and peruse the veg patch with a glass of something from the long wine list, or a pint of local ale.
Bedrooms are just down the road in a red brick converted house which overlooks the river Avon. These are bright and sumptuous, each with bifold doors to their own terraces. Early morning tea or a sundowner here watching the water meandering by will be restful. You'll also find little fridges filled with fizz, spirits and soft drinks.
Bring your rod and try your luck on the river – the inn has fishing rights.

Local points of interest from Guy & Brittany Manning:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Guy & Brittany Manning:
- Stonehenge World Heritage Site is 15 minutes away, Avebury stone circles (one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain) are not much further.
- There are endless beautiful footpaths and walks directly from the pub to the open, rolling fields of Salisbury Plain. Or just down the road head to Alton Barnes, Adam's Grave for one of the best 2 hour circular walks in the country.
- The Guest House is riverfront on the Avon, you could cast a line in or walk along the river. Superb wild swimming spot and diving pool in the village!
- Local area is great for outdoor activities. Why not try Sky Diving with the Red Devils just down the road at Netheravon? There's shooting at Rushall, fishing at Manningford, off-road cycling along the tank tracks.
- The Great Bustard project is a walk away. A natural wonder; the Great Bustard is the world’s heaviest flying bird with reliable records of individuals weighing over 20 kgs. A fully grown male stands over 1 meter tall and has a wing span of over 2 meters!!
- The pub is open all day long in case you get thirsty ( and after all that you certainly should be!)
