Selected bedrooms feature freestanding roll-top baths, adding a little indulgence to a romantic countryside escape. For families, some bedrooms can accommodate children on request, while three designated dog-friendly rooms welcome four-legged companions with prior acknowledgement – additional charges apply.

Food & Drink

Food is a real highlight at The Bradley Hare Inn. Inspired by the rich food heritage of Wiltshire and Somerset, the pub celebrates the finest local ingredients. Menus reflect the seasons with their take on comforting classics sitting alongside refined plates. Whether you are enjoying a leisurely lunch, a romantic supper or a traditional Sunday roast, dining here is a wonderfully relaxed experience. The characterful restaurant provides an inviting setting, while the sunny terrace and garden are perfect for alfresco dining during warmer months.
