The White Horse Inn

About

The White Horse Inn is a charming 18th-century village inn nestled in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, within the village of Compton Bassett. Located in a National Landscape, the traditional free house country pub with rooms offers an award-winning restaurant, cosy bar and welcoming atmosphere – it’s the ideal location for a memorable weekend break.

The White Horse Inn takes its name from the giant chalk carving at nearby Cherhill, and can be found just a few miles from the Avebury stone circle; Marlborough, Chippenham and a short drive to Bath. It offers nine beautifully appointed bed and breakfast rooms, each with in-room amenities including luxurious 100 Acre toiletries; all refurbished to a high standard. Accommodation is separate from the main pub and restaurant, across a small patio area. Most rooms overlook the delightful pub gardens and small paddock. Check-in: 3pm-9pm. Check-out: 10:30am.

Relax and enjoy a long lunch, delicious evening meal or any of the real ale, local ciders and gins on offer in the bar. With great-tasting dishes that everyone can enjoy, The White Horse Inn keeps its superb food offering local and seasonal; choosing to use West Country suppliers too. Renowned for its extensive and varied selection of local Wiltshire-brewed real ales, craft ciders and a great wine list to suit all palates and tastes. 

If you’ve enjoyed a country walk locally, The White Horse Inn has space for muddy boots; and is dog friendly (treats behind the bar with our compliments!) and child friendly – with their well-behaved adults! But it isn’t only welly walks, The White Horse Inn is a great base from which to explore the area – from shooting at Barbury Castle, to shopping in Marlborough and Bath. Of course, Avebury is close by, as too is the spectacular white horse at Cherhill Down.

The White Horse Inn also has a private dining room, ideal for parties, work-related events and celebrations for up to 24 guests. Hire prices start at just £35.
