Rooms: The 19 bedrooms, which were all refurbished when the current owners Georgie and Sam Pearman took over the pub and renovated it during lockdown, each have individual design touches from striking wallpaper to colourful headboards. Location: A vine-covered, 17th-century, honey-stoned pub on the outskirts of the village of Clanfield on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds – a 15-minute drive from Burford and a great base to explore. The Bear Inn, Drayton Road, Hodnet, Shropshire TF9 3NH, 01630 685 214 Selling point: A fun historical backstory: tunnels and cellars beneath the pub hid rebellious monks from church officials in the 1700s, and served as smuggling routes.
Everything is sourced locally – some of the butcher’s cuts are from their own cattle and much of the fruit, vegetables and herbs is from their walled garden. Some rooms have a bath and toiletries are by Hæckels.įood: The pub is owned by the Hodnet Estate but run by Mel and Martin Board, who also own the Haughmond near Shrewsbury, which has three AA rosettes and a spot in the Michelin Guide, so food at The Bear is understandably very good. There are 12 individually designed bedrooms featuring heavy curtains, original artwork and beds dressed in crisp linen and woolen blankets. Rooms: After a complete renovation with interiors designed by Octavia Dickinson, the rooms blend a sense of the 18th-century inn’s history with modern requirements. Market Drayton is just over five miles away. Location: In a central spot in the village of Hodnet in Shropshire, opposite a Norman church and the beautiful Hodnet Hall Gardens.
