The vibe: Country pubs don’t come much more stylish than The Wild Rabbit in the picture-perfect Cotswold village of Kingham, which was luxuriously refurbished by Lady Carole Bamford of nearby Daylesford Organics in 2013. 

Eat this: Michelin-starred chef Alyn Williams recently joined as chef patron, with roasts including a pork loin, shoulder and belly combo, plus a vegetarian dish (wait for it, it’s not a nut roast!) of roast leeks, confit potato and truffle.

Sleep here: Three new luxury cottages (in addition to the current two, plus 12 rooms in the main pub) open later this month a short walk away, with exposed beams, log-burners and private gardens.

Post-lunch: Borrow a bike and cycle the 10 minutes to Bamford Haybarn Spa (bamford.com), where you can sleep off your lunch while enjoying a full-body massage.

Pub rooms from £140; cottages from £350 for a minimum two-night stay; roasts from £22.50; thewildrabbit.co.uk
