The Beckford Arms

The personal touch

Thanks to a new wave of young, talented entrepreneurs who have only just started strutting their stuff, it’s an exciting time for the country inn. Dan Brod and Charlie Luxton’s Beckford Arms near Tisbury is a case in point - a country pub reinvented for the 21st century, its chill-out atmosphere and easy-going service working well with the slightly wonky period charm of the 18th century building and gloriously rural location on the edge of the Fonthill Estate. On wintry nights the place exudes a dark, burnished warmth, thanks to soft lights and log fires, balmier days draw you into the garden, where hammocks, rugs and shady trees deal with most of the vaguaries of the British summer and a boule piste provides gentle exercise.
 

Sticky Fingers

The Beckford Arms welcomes children (cots free & child bed £25); Rooms 1 & 2 interconnect; no under 8's in Lodges
 

Muddy Paws

Dogs welcome in the bar (water & bones provided) and in Room 6 (£10)
 

Alfresco

While away a long summer’s day in an acre of mature garden or have lunch or tea on the large terrace. There are hammocks under shady trees, a pétanque piste, a games area to entertain the children, and even a dog bath to hose off after a long muddy walk.
 

What’s on?

Movie Nights – on Sunday evenings chill out on the sofa and watch an old movie with a glass of wine and a plate of comfort food (fish pie or shepherds pie).

The Beckford Arms

Do not disturb

Climb up the Georgian staircase and you will find eight bedrooms that have done more than anything to establish the Beckford in the premier-league of country pubs. The feel is simple, unmistakably modern, more upmarket hotel than pub bedroom, with the rooms handsomely kitted out with a raft of extras you would be hard pressed to find in a five-star hotel. The best, in the attic, spreads over two bedrooms (one for children or a single adult) and a sitting room, another has a free-standing bath parked quirkily in the bedroom; every bed is hard-to-get-out-of comfortable. A 10-minute stroll from the pub, in the heart of the Fonthill Estate with views across lake and parkland, are two stunning lodges, each with simple kitchens, sitting rooms with wood-burning stoves, and bed and bath on mezzanine level for soaking up the view.

Creature comforts

Egyptian cotton sheets; Siberian goose down mattress toppers and duvets Vintage Welsh wool blankets;
Bramley natural bath products designed by Chloe Luxton; Hot water bottle; Emergency pack with toothbrush/paste; Fresh milk, a cosy-clad teapot, mugs and a chocolate bar.

Gadgets

Free WiFi; Flat screen TV; DVD library; Internet radio and iPod docking station.

Pampering

Angela (Aromatherapy) and Anouchka (Theravada Thai massage) are highly qualified masseurs, both with their individual specialties and they provide a relaxing, pampering in-room massage.

What’s for Breakfast?

Home-made bread and croissants, seasonal home-made jams; Museli & natural yoghurt (Blackmore Vale); Porridge with cinnamon & honey; Eggs Benedict; Scrambled egg & smoked salmon; Beckford’s full English.

The Beckford Arms

Mastering the menu

Chef Nigel Everett makes good use of carefully sourced ingredients, with much drawn from the surrounding countryside. In the rustic bar upscale snacks and pub staples are served all day (from homemade sausage rolls, fish or pheasant fingers to burgers and cottage pie). The main menu pleases with rustic, seasonal dishes where attention is paid to the flavour of every ingredient, in starters such as braised beef and oxtail, shaved parmesan truffle mayonnaise and garlic crumb or main courses of cured cod loin, brown shrimps, curly kale, capers, lemon and tarragon butter. Sundays – ideal for lazy mooching – sees lunch of whole roast chickens to share and Yorkshire puds for all, and a free movie with supper in the evening; on fine summer weekends tuck into pizzas cooked in the outdoor wood-fired oven. As the Beckford is all about eating and drinking, dining tables are dotted everywhere, not only can you eat in the restaurant and the lively bar, but also more intimately in the sitting room where lounging sofas beckon afterwards.

On the menu

Brixham crab cake, capers, chilli jam, fennel & cucumber salad £7.50 
Beckford beef burger, bacon, cheese, pickle, chilli slaw, chips £12.50
Roasted pork tenderloin, sautéed potatoes, braised red cabbage, seasonal greens £18
Sea bass, samphire, cider & cream sauce £17.50
Vanilla rice pudding, strawberries, baked white chocolate £6

Sunday Roasts

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder £16
Rib of beef £16
Whole roast chicken for 4 to share £38

Foodie Extras

Going for a walk or heading out for the day, take a made-up hamper based on the day’s menu and add wines from the wine list and don’t forget the picnic blankets and wine glasses. Hampers can also be dropped of at a pre-agreed time and place for larger parties.

WALKING

www.visitwiltshire.co.uk
The Beckford Arms is set in the heart of Wiltshire's great walking country. From the pub's doorstep numerous walks link the region's picturesque villages and fine scenery. Cranborne Chase is perfect for exploring on foot and there are even trails and tracks on remote Salisbury Plain, where you might be lucky enough to spot the Great Bustard, Britain's heaviest bird, which has made a comeback.

 

Inn Location - The Beckford Arms

Activities

Racing at Salisbury, Netherhampton SP2 8PN
One of Britain's most historic racecourses, Salisbury has played host to racing since the mid-16th century. The course, four miles from the city centre and consisting of three enclosures, stages various meetings during the summer months, combining expert racing and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Children are also catered for: entertainment is provided for them at weekend and evening meetings.

Rushmore Golf Club, Tollard Royal SP5 5QB
An 18-hole championship golf course situated in Rushmore Park on Cranborne Chase, a part of the world renowned for its fine beech woods, rolling grassland and sense of solitude. Unusually, nine holes are in Dorset, while the remaining nine are to be found in neighbouring Wiltshire. The course offers stunning scenery, from ancient parkland to views of the south coast and the Isle of Wight. The Rushmore Clubhouse is a popular venue for lunch, tea and even breakfast.

Grovely Riding Centre, Water Ditchampton SP2 0JB
Located in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside and established more than 50 years ago, Grovely has an established reputation for professionalism and extremely high standards. Riding takes place over chalk downland tracks, Roman roads and grassy droves where there is always a strong sense of Wiltshire's distant past and the views are often breathtaking.

Ballooning, Larmer Tree Gardens SP5 5PT
Begin at the famous Larmer Tree Gardens on Cranborne Chase and enjoy stunning views of Wessex and southwest Wiltshire from the air. The trip usually lasts between three and four hours and offers a rare opportunity to see this vast landscape, known for its ancient sites and enigmatic crop circles, from a totally different perspective. An exhilarating experience!

Game Shooting, Fonthill Bishop SP3 5SH
Among Fonthill's 10,000 acres is the chance to enjoy simulated shoot days on the estate's main pheasant and partridge drives with clays instead of live game birds. Breakfast and lunch are served at Deer Park Barn and there are days available between late April and July.

Fly Fishing, Beckford Arms SP3 6PX
Between the villages of Fonthill Gifford and Fonthill Bishop and just a stone's throw from the Beckford Arms is a large lake set in private parkland. In this glorious setting, David Griffiths, an advanced Professional Game Angling Instructor, provides expert tuition in fly-fishing. Here the complete novice can learn all about trout and salmon casting in hourly or two hourly sessions, or book a one-day introduction to fly-fishing course for up to four rods.

Wilderness Survival Skills, East Woodyates SP5 5QY
Escape from the comfort and convenience of the modern world and learn all about the harsh reality of life in the wilderness, discovering the skills required to navigate and survive in places that are beyond our imagination. For example, do you know how to light a fire in all weathers or build a waterproof shelter from natural materials? These fascinating survival courses offer the chance to find out and to experience something completely different.

Places to Visit

Stourhead, Mere BA12 6QD
The 18th-century landscape gardens at Stourhead are among the finest in the country. Its lakes, classical temples, shrubs and rare trees feature in innumerable guidebooks and calendars. Within the estate are glorious woodland walks, dazzling rhododendrons and azaleas, and a redbrick folly, known as Alfred's Tower, erected in 1772 to commemorate the king who reputedly raised his standard here against Danish invaders in AD 879.

Stonehenge SP4 7DE
This World Heritage Site is at least 5,000 years old and is the most famous prehistoric monument in Britain, perhaps. No one knows its exact purpose or how the smaller bluestones were brought here from Pembrokeshire. From every angle Stonehenge looks stunning but especially from a distance when the ancient stones blend into the timeless downland setting.

Longleat, Warminster BA12 7NW
Standing in extensive parkland landscaped by Capability Brown in the mid 18th century, Longleat House is a perfect example of sumptuous Elizabethan architecture. The home of the Thynne family for more than 400 years, it was the first stately home to open to the public. The house includes many fine paintings and artefacts, and possibly the most valuable private library in the world. The estate offers numerous attractions, not least among them Longleat's famous safari park.

Fovant Badges, Fovant SP3 5JH
Drive along the A30 near the village of Fovant, park where indicated and you get grand views of the famous regimental badges cut into the chalk downland - an extraordinary sight. During the First World War there was a training camp at Fovant and thousands of servicemen from all corners of the world gathered here before departing for the Western Front. In their spare time they carved the badges of their regiments. For a closer look follow public footpaths and tracks to the top of the downs.

Wilton House SP2 0BJ
Home of the Earls of Pembroke, Wilton House was designed by Inigo Jones in the 17th century, replacing the original house, which was destroyed by fire, and later remodelled by James Wyatt. Inside is the Double Cube Room, which contains a famous collection of Van Dyck paintings. Look out, too, for the former riding school, a Tudor kitchen and a Victorian laundry.

Salisbury Cathedral SP1 2EJ
Its soaring spire is the tallest in the country, immortalised in John Constable's famous painting Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows, painted in 1831. The cathedral was begun in 1220, finished about 1280, and includes a medieval frieze and an original copy of the Magna Carta. From every perspective, the cathedral is a breathtaking reminder of the skill of those who built it nearly 800 years ago.

Gold Hill, Shaftesbury SP7 8JW
Classically English, Gold Hill in Shaftesbury is one of Britain's most famous landmarks. The steep street, lined by rows of picturesque cottages, is still remembered for a much-loved television advert for Hovis, directed by Ridley Scott. Thomas Hardy, Dorset's most famous son, is also associated with Shaftesbury and among the town's many attractions are two fascinating heritage museums.

Old Wardour Castle, Tisbury SP3 6RR
With its atmospheric ruins and romantic lakeside setting, Old Wardour Castle is without question one of the region's must-see visitor attractions. Fans of the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner, will immediately recognise it as Locksley Castle, Robin's family home. Located on the northern edge of Cranborne Chase, the castle dates back to 1393 and is noted for its hexagonal tower house.

Shopping

Ludwell Village Stores, Ludwell, SP7 9ND
Village Shop of the Year, Ludwell Stores is one of the finest village shops around. A 200 year old store with shelves piled high with a myriad of local and not so local goodies.

Pythouse Kitchen Garden Shop and Café, West Hatch, Tisbury SP3 6PA
This is just the place to go if you like shopping to be quiet and leisurely. The site's beautiful 18th-century walled garden, named 'a special place' by the weekend Daily Telegraph, is the perfect venue for lunch followed by a visit to the shop, which offers all manner of local products from honey and chutney to garden gifts and organic milk, and then perhaps The Nursery where you can pick up that rare plant or herbaceous perennial.

Black Barn Gallery And Café, Boyton, Warminster BA12 0SS
In this converted barn, part of a Wiltshire farm complex, you'll find the work of many local artists and craftsmen who live and work within a 50-mile radius. The Gallery is run as a not-for-profit co-operative and is staffed voluntarily by the exhibiting artists.

Clementine's Shop, Lower Lawn Barns, Fonthill Gifford, Tisbury SP3 6SG
An amazing collection of unusual, interesting and traditional gifts in a lovely rural setting just a mile or so from the Beckford Arms

Bluestone Gallery, Devizes SN10 1AT
The Gallery also has one of the best selections of original handmade jewellery displaying the work of over 60 jewellers and includes an impressive range of studio ceramics, hand-blown glass, sculpture and artists' prints.

Wilton Shopping Village, Wilton SP2 0RS
Take the chance to shop in a delightful 18th-century courtyard with plenty of atmosphere and a real sense of history. There is a good choice of factory outlet shops with leading brands in fashion, textiles, glassware and china, not to mention the Wilton Carpet Factory Shop, the Edinburgh Woollen Mill and a children's play area.

Fisherton Mill Gallery & Café, 108 Fisherton Street, Salisbury SP2 7QY
Dating back to 1880, this striking Victorian mill has been reinvented several times, including a carpet warehouse and an illegal rave venue. Since 1994 however, the mill has been home to The Gallery, which displays some of Britain's leading artists, sculptors and furniture makers. There's also an impressive selection of stylish handmade cards, jewellery, original glassware, ceramics and tiles.

Reviews

John Walsh, The Independent 2013,
(UK Dining Pub of the Year 2013 – The Good Pub Guide) “This is an old pub triumphantly re-invented as something between a hotel, a wine bar and a restaurant. The food is triumphant, too – doing a dozen basic things well but tricking every dish out with extra textures and flavours. It's a lovely haven in the wilds of wintry Wiltshire.”

The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
