Situated at the base of the North Wessex Downs and gazing over the Test Valley's origins, the Watership Down Inn is a picturesque haven. Just to the north, the famed Watership Down extends its natural beauty. Located in Freefolk Priors, just a stone's throw from Whitchurch, the inn offers convenient access to Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and Winchester. Major routes such as the M3, A34, and A303 are nearby, making this the ideal spot for gatherings with friends and family.
The inn features seven beautifully Text taken from bandbstays.co.uk decorated bedrooms – three within the original inn structure upstairs and four garden rooms on the ground floor, including an exquisite family room. Our garden rooms, self-contained and tranquilly positioned within the inn's gardens, are thoughtfully designed to harmonise with the idyllic outdoor setting. Each en-suite room bears the name of a character from the Watership Down novel, adding a unique touch to your stay.
Pet owners will be pleased to know that dogs are warmly welcomed in both the bar and garden rooms. We ask that dogs be kept on a leash in the bar area. When booking, please mention your furry companions; we accommodate up to two dogs per room.
The Watership Down Inn is open for business all week, offering sumptuous lunches and dinners daily, except for Sunday evenings. We commit to using only the freshest produce, which means our menu may vary slightly from day to day based on ingredient availability. Our dedication to quality and local sourcing ensures a delightful culinary experience.
