The Carnarvon Arms sits among rolling countryside on the Hampshire-Berkshire border and has one particularly famous neighbour. Highclere Castle – the real-life setting for Downton Abbey is just a five-minute drive away, making it the best-positioned pub with rooms for visitors planning to explore the estate and its magnificent grounds. Inside are oak beams, original stone walls and a high-vaulted dining room, alongside a friendly bar and 18 comfortable bedrooms designed for everything from romantic weekends to family adventures and dog-friendly walking breaks. Then there is the surrounding countryside: the North Wessex Downs and Wayfarer’s Walk offer miles of walking, while Newbury Racecourse is within easy driving distance.
