The kind of Pub with Rooms you'll want to extend your stay for
Some pubs serve great food. Some offer beautiful accommodation. A select few manage to do both exceptionally well. Nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire village of Letcombe Regis, The Greyhound Inn belongs firmly in that latter category.

Located just beneath the Berkshire Downs and moments from the ancient Ridgeway Trail, this award-winning village inn combines everything we love about the modern British countryside pub: character, comfort, outstanding food, and a genuine sense of place. Whether you're stopping by for lunch after a countryside walk, settling in for dinner with friends, or escaping for a relaxing overnight stay, The Greyhound delivers an experience that feels effortlessly polished without ever losing its welcoming village-pub soul.

A village pub that's full of character
First impressions matter, and The Greyhound gets them exactly right. From the traditional brick exterior to the flagstone floors and crackling log fires, there's an authenticity here that immediately puts you at ease. The atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between cosy local pub and refined country dining destination.

Locals gather at the bar, walkers arrive muddy-booted from the surrounding countryside, and overnight guests settle in for a slower pace of life. Despite its reputation for excellent food, there's nothing intimidating about the experience. Instead, you'll find warm hospitality and a relaxed confidence that encourages you to stay a little longer. During the warmer months, the garden terrace and courtyard provide an idyllic setting for lunch or an evening drink, surrounded by the peaceful Oxfordshire countryside.

Food that elevates the traditional pub experience
While the setting is undeniably charming, it's the kitchen that turns The Greyhound from a lovely village pub into a true destination. The menu celebrates seasonality and quality British produce, changing throughout the year to showcase the best ingredients available. There's a clear respect for traditional pub favourites, but also a willingness to introduce creativity and refinement where it enhances the dish.

Depending on the season, you might find locally sourced game, beautifully prepared fish, premium West Country meats, and inventive starters that showcase the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. Alongside the more contemporary dishes, classic pub staples remain an important part of the offering. Fish and chips, burgers, seasonal pies, and daily specials ensure there's something for every occasion, whether you're seeking a relaxed lunch or a more memorable dining experience.

A drinks menu worthy of the food
A great country pub deserves a great bar, and The Greyhound doesn't disappoint. Well-kept local ales sit alongside a thoughtfully curated wine list, while local gins and craft spirits provide plenty of temptation for those looking to enjoy something a little different. Whether you're enjoying a pint after a walk or selecting the perfect wine for dinner, the drinks offering feels every bit as considered as the food.

More than a meal: stay the night
One of the things that truly sets The Greyhound apart is its collection of boutique bedrooms. Spread between the main inn and courtyard, the rooms combine country charm with modern comfort. Expect comfortable beds, quality linens, thoughtful finishing touches, and the kind of attention to detail that transforms a simple overnight stay into a genuine countryside escape. The following morning, guests are treated to a freshly cooked breakfast, providing the perfect start before heading back onto the Ridgeway or exploring the surrounding villages and countryside.

The very best pubs with rooms offer more than just somewhere to eat and sleep. They create an experience that reflects their surroundings and leaves guests wanting to return. The Greyhound Inn achieves exactly that. Combining exceptional food, welcoming hospitality, stylish accommodation, and a beautiful village setting, it represents everything that makes Britain's great country inns so special.

For those seeking a memorable countryside getaway, a destination dining pub, or simply one of Oxfordshire's finest pubs with rooms, The Greyhound Inn more than earns its place in our collection. A little gem worth discovering and revisiting.
