The Carnarvon Arms

An eclectically colourful former coaching inn, it has catered to travellers visiting Highclere Castle for generations. Full of traditional English charm, it offers cosy fires for winter evenings and a sun-soaked beer garden for summer days, making it the perfect spot to kick back, relax and soak up the atmosphere.

For those looking to relax, recharge and explore the beautiful surrounding area, the Carnarvon Arms is an ideal base. Well suited to country pursuits, it is easy to reach and conveniently located just minutes from the A34, M4, A303 and Newbury Train Station.

There is no shortage of nearby attractions, with the famous Highclere Castle (of Downton Abbey fame) right on the doorstep, along with the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, Newbury Racecourse, a living rainforest, Newbury Showground and the scenic Avon & Kennet Canal all close by. With so much to see and do, visitors are never short of things to enjoy.
