This traditional inn sits at the heart of the 19,000-acre Ramsbury Estate, owned by Swedish H&M magnate Stefan Persson. The estate's farms, brewery, gin distillery and oil press supply The Bell's restaurant, bar and café, meaning food miles are kept to a minimum and the produce is as fresh as it gets. There are tastefully-decorated ensuite rooms equipped with everything you could need. The village of Ramsbury is blessed with good looks and a rich history. It's in an enviable position on the banks of the River Kennet and its streets are lined with pretty cottages. The bustling, attractive town of Marlborough is around six miles away, while the nearby Marlborough Downs and Savernake Forest offer superb walks.
The Kennet Valley and the rolling hills of the Marlborough Downs are picturesque and unspoilt, making this superb walking country.
The inn is located in the village of Ramsbury, set within the Wiltshire countryside. It's part of the Ramsbury Estate, which spans over 19,000 acres.

Soothing cream and beige hues create a light, unfussy interior, while prints of fish and game reinforce the country feel.
The café is a very clever addition and is usually busy with both locals and hotel guests.
