The Experience

Stylishly renovated, this historic inn backs on to the river Test with a glorious riverside garden for summer dining under a tipi, music evenings and open-air cinema. Fisherfolk will be delighted to know they have their own half-mile fishing beat and hut downriver.

Indoors, the feel is relaxed and informal with a cosy beamed bar and roaring fire. You dine by flickering candlelight on superb food; menus are interesting and inventive, locally sourced and always seasonal. The wine list is eclectic and if you try something you like, pick up a bottle to take home from Wine Utopia on the high street.

Quirky 16th-century character meets contemporary chic in the seven warm and inviting upstairs rooms and in the three smart and spacious rooms in an adjoining cottage. Bang up-to-date bathrooms are utterly spoiling. Tuck into a delicious breakfast before a gentle stroll around Stockbridge; strike out to Winchester and Salisbury.

Reviews

The smart colour-washed Greyhound cuts a dash on the high street in upmarket Stockbridge, drawing an affluent crowd, from fishing folk to shooters and foodies from town, for stylish rooms and Phil Bishop's ambitious modern British cooking. The garden beside the river Test is the sublime setting for summer tipi dining, open-air opera/cinema, and some of the best fly fishing in the country.

Location

The neighbourhood

In the heart of Stockbridge, with its high street lined with cafés, eateries, upmarket galleries and independent shops, the Test Valley waits to be explored with riverside routes along the 44-mile Test Way. Houghton Lodge Gardens, Mottisfont Abbey NT, Danebury Hill Fort are all close. Salisbury Cathedral with its original copy of the Magna Carta and Winchester are both under 30 mins away.
