Ascot is a trot down the road and there's a really cosy, cottagey feel to this quaint 18th-century inn with great food and comfy bedrooms

Find oodles of charm, standing timbers, period fireplaces and low beams with lots of nooks and crannies in the rambling series of rooms downstairs. It's an oasis tucked away in a sleepy network of lanes and very much the hub of the community. The informal area by the bar has a mix of tables for drinkers (and food) while to the rear there is more formal dining leading to the terrace.

You eat well – find classic British dishes and more imaginative specials with a blackboard of great bar snacks. Menus change with the seasons, specials are changed daily, produce is sourced as locally as possible and everything is cooked from scratch. You'll find some good local ales and a fine wine list too. Stay in very comfortable bedrooms above the bar, in a purpose-built extension or a converted barn – all have Nespresso machines, Roberts radios, smart TVs and Bramley soaps.

Wake to a cracking breakfast with thoughtful veggie options.

Simon Went:

  • Set in the peaceful rural village of Winkfield, The Winning Post is the perfect place to stay to discover the beautiful Berkshire countryside as well as its surrounding counties.
  • Our pub has long been a favourite with equine fans. Spend a day at the races at Ascot, take in a tournament at the Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, or book a break to watch the annual Royal Windsor Horse Show in May.
  • Make sure you place a bet at the races after staying with us – a night's stay at The Winning Post is believed to bring you luck by both locals and visitors!
  • If you’re not a horse enthusiast, there are many other yearly events close by such as the Henley Royal Regatta each summer, and the PGA Championships at the wonderful Wentworth Club in neighbouring Surrey.
  • Windsor Castle is a fantastic family day out, with history, art and grounds to explore. Exciting and educational Legoland in Windsor and the thrilling Thorpe Park theme park in Surrey are also close by.
