The Experience
The inn sits in a dreamy thatched village and is always popular with locals. Behind the lozenge-paned windows gilt mirrors sparkle above smouldering fires, candles illuminate chunky tables, and fishing rods hang from the ceiling – fishing packages can be arranged with local ghillies.
There’s a horseshoe bar, two private dining rooms, a terrace for summer breakfasts and good food – chef Harry creates dishes cooked from scratch using the freshest produce and showcasing some of the best of British. Local ales include Flack’s Double Drop and Romsey Gold.
Comfortable bedrooms sit above the bar, in the Peat House next door and one by the terrace. All have good Hypnos mattresses, radios, TVs, Nespresso machines and en suite showers with Bramley soaps and shampoo. Wake to a freshly cooked full English, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, avocados, muffins and veggie options. Head out on a gentle riverside stroll to recuperate.

Local points of interest from Upham Pub Company
- The Peat Spade is set in the beautiful village of Longstock in the Test valley, less than a mile from Stockbridge – the fly fishing capital of the world. The rivers and downs here are home to some of the world’s best fishing and shooting opportunities.
- With the Test Way passing close by, The Peat Spade is a popular retreat for walkers. It’s a great stopover too for those visiting the historic cities of Salisbury and Winchester, and just an hour’s drive from London and the New Forest.
- If you want to try your hand at clay-pigeon shooting, the excellent Spitfire Shoot is just a short distance away at Houghton Down Farm. They offer ‘pay and play’ as well as expert instruction.
- British Army enthusiasts have plenty to see at The Museum of Army Flying with its fun flight simulators.
- Leckford Estate is not far away for its idyllic Water Garden and golf course.
