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 you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome.
Louis and his team look forward to hosting you.
Hands down the best rate around. There’s no cheaper rate to be found.
1pm check-out. It’s the stuff dream stays are made of.
If there’s a better room available when you arrive, a sweet upgrade is all yours.

Think crackling fires, clinking glasses, mistletoe mischief and fabulously festive feasting.
We’re pulling out all the stops with a splendid Christmas Day feast for £125 per person. Think succulent roasts, all the trimmings, refreshing apple sorbet, indulgent puddings and chocolate truffles to finish.
For our little merry-makers, there’s a three-course Young’sters menu for £65 (sprouts optional, of course!).
All the Christmas magic, none of the washing up.
Big tackles, bold reds and a little friendly rivalry. The Autumn Internationals are back, bringing the perfect excuse for rugby-fuelled revelry and gloriously good grub.
Think leisurely lunches, hearty pub classics, seasonal sips and Sunday roasts piled high with golden roasties, towering Yorkshires and lashings of gravy.
Whether it’s a pre-match feast, post-match catch-up or a long, lazy Sunday, gather your favourite people and make a weekend of it.
Crisp country walks, seasonal dishes and cosy evenings by the fire – winter is made for slowing down. Escape to the Pheasant Inn for two nights in the Berkshire countryside, with breakfast each morning, £30pp towards dinner on one evening and two welcome cocktails on us.
