Book Direct: Best Rates + Benefits

Welcome to the Pheasant Inn, Lambourn

Landlord Louis and his mighty, merry team are ready and waiting to welcome you to the Pheasant Inn.

Sitting on the edge of Shefford Woodlands and flaunting an Instagram-worthy view over Berkshire’s fabulous Valley of the Racehorse, our unabashedly historic country inn has been dishing out hospitality for a whopping 450 years.

Just moments away from the M4, our 14 bedrooms are your haven from the weary road. Stick around and explore local gems like Highclere Castle, Avebury Stone Circles, and the North Wessex Downs—because who doesn’t love a designated wonderland for walkers?

Horse racing is at the heart of what we’re about, and has been for a millennia or two (give or take). We’re the perfect place to stay after a day visiting the famous Newbury Racecourse.

Whether you’re up for a hearty feast, light lunch or just keen to plop onto a vintage leather bar stool in our snug with a pint, rest assured, the fire will be crackling, and the welcome as warm as a cosy blanket.

Celebrate Christmas 2024 with Louis and his team at The Pheasant. We’ve packaged up perfect stays and curated festive menus (that will leave you suitably stuffed) to enjoy throughout December. Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate this year.
