A striking 200-year-old coaching inn in a sleepy village with a classic, traditional pub feel, superb food and wines, pretty bedrooms

Near Stourhead, this whitewashed inn is a very convenient spot for a stopover on the scenic route to Devon and Cornwall – you may want to stay longer. The atmospheric bar is welcoming with low, exposed hop-covered beams, merry fires, fresh flowers and plenty of cosy corners and cushioned window seats. Enjoy a hand-pumped local ale or a glass of something form Gardner & Beedle while you check out the menu.

Much is grown and reared locally, there are plenty of elevated pub classics – wonderful home-baked pies with seasonal fillings and some comforting à la carte dishes. Sunday roasts are very popular and the breakfasts will set you up for a day's walking or sightseeing.

Bedrooms are spread over the first and second floors – not huge but very pretty and with everything you need, even an emergency kit, proper coffee machine, fresh milk and home-baked cookies; cosy shower rooms smell lovely with goodies from Land & Water.

The Bookings Team at The Bell & Crown:

Stourhead House: With a garden that features an iconic Palladian house, a lake flanked by mature, rare trees, and plenty of picnic spots, Stourhead brings a spot of magic. Best enjoyed on a crisp autumn afternoon.
Longleat Safari Park: A short drive away, the lions snooze and the zebras roam about the grounds of this grand stately home. Despite the enchantment, watch out for the monkeys if driving through, they like a bit of windscreen wiper.
Stonehenge: Easy to get to from the Bell, you just whizz up the A303. You can't miss it, all the traffic slows; us locals get a little begrudged with it, but we shouldn't, because we're blessed to have it so nearby. It's definitely worth a visit.
Salisbury Cathedral: Slightly further afield is the medieval city of Salisbury – home to Salisbury Cathedral and also importantly, our little pizza shop. The 13th-century cathedral sits amongst 80 acres of grounds and has one of Europe's tallest spires.
King Alfred's Tower: A striking 49-metre folly with panoramic views from the top. Great for walkers and history lovers.
Old Wardour Castle: A romantic ruined castle with lakeside views and picnic spots. Quiet, atmospheric, and steeped in history.
