Spread Eagle Inn

The Spread Eagle is an 18th Century AA 4 Star inn at Stourhead and refurbishment has bought out the best of this handsome building with stone floors, painted beams and big windows which look out onto a unique courtyard. There are five ensuite bedrooms, all featuring period furniture, handmade soft furnishings, painted with Farrow and Ball soft colours alongside the more modern facilities of direct dial phones, hairdryers, quality towels and toiletries, flat screen TV's, DVD players (dvd library available), tea & coffee making trays and radio alarm clocks.

The generous and comfortable bar features 19th Century prints, horse brasses and is warmed by a large blazing log burner in winter, creating a cosy atmosphere, an ideal place to relax after a days walking in the gardens, visiting Alfreds Tower or the greater estate.

Our bar offers a choice of 3 local hand pumped Real Ales, one of which is brewed less than 2 miles from the Estate and our wine list features an English Red, White and Rose whose grapes are grown less than 25 miles from the Inn.

The kitchen offers a menu that sources as much food locally as possible, such as Free Range eggs from St Martins Farm just off the Estate, Wiltshire Game from Tisbury and Sirloin Steaks and Rare Roasted English Beef from the West Country. Our menus also feature a lot of fish dishes examples being Lyme Bay Scallops and Fillets of Cornish Bream. One of our most popular dishes is a Wiltshire Ploughmans Lunch served with our Homemade Kilmington Ale and Apple Chutney.

We are less than 2 hours drive from London just off the A303 with trains running direct from London Waterloo to Gillingham Dorset every hour and we are then less than 15 mins drive from the station.
