Our favourite rooms
Each room at the Great Bustard nods to British birdlife, and nesting comes easy in the farmhouse-style spaces, which are kitted out in peppermint shades, with sisal rugs and antique furnishings. Flock to Avocet for its verdant views over the front lawn and flower-lined courtyard; lofty Cuckoo calls with its vaulted ceilings, and Ouzel rules the roost with its private balcony that overlooks the River Avon.
Packing tips
Opt for pieces with forgiving waistbands: the delicious food here will tempt even the most usually-restrained of diners.
Also
In the Osprey treatment room, holistic treatments, such as reflexology, aromatherapy facials and full-body massages, soothe with bespoke botanical products and garden-fresh herbal infusions.
Pet‐friendly
Pooches are welcome to stay in White Tailed Eagle and Nightingale for £25 a night, and can join you in the pub’s bar and courtyard, but the restaurant is for humans only. See more pet-friendly hotels in Wiltshire.
Children
Welcome. Most rooms can take a baby cot but there are no extra beds, so older kids will need their own room. Children’s menus are available and there’s a small playground in the garden.
Sustainability efforts
This green-minded restaurant with rooms celebrates hyper-local ingredients — most of it comes from the Great Durnford Estate — in its menus and farm shop.
