About

The Beckford Arms is a traditionally delightful 18th country inn located on the edge of the rolling parkland of the Fonthill Estate in south Wiltshire just off the A303 - only twenty minutes from Stonehenge or Salisbury and under two hours from London by car or train.

There are eight bedrooms set within the pub and all have simple yet stylish, comforting interiors. On the bed, there's Siberian goose down bedding with crisp Egyptian cotton sheets. In the bathrooms, you will find our own locally made all-natural Bramley Products. We also have three two luxurious lodges and our newest lodge addition – The Arch at Fonthill - a short stroll away, cradled in the stunning Fonthill Estate.

The Beckford has all the comforts of a great hotel but at pub prices.

Our relaxed pub is the perfect environment for long lunches, sumptuous suppers and the chance to refuel after a day exploring the British countryside. Chef Johnny Sutclffe and his talented team are committed to cooking the abundance of seasonal produce surrounding The Beckford. Meat and game from local farms, fish from the Cornwall coast and fresh leaves picked just a few steps away in The Beckford kitchen garden. The bar is also kept well-stocked with delicious snacks that are available throughout the day, the perfect post-walk fuel.
