Market Lavington, The Green Dragon - Comfy rooms, lady that runs it is unfortunately retiring in a couple of weeks but she was grand. Nice garden at the back, great pub food and breakfast was superb as well... baked duck eggs with mushrooms and spinach! Highly recommend. Great descent off the route to get there, if you don't fancy the climb back to the route you can follow the B3098 towards Chirton and you'll be back on route in no time.
Letcombe Regis, The Greyhound Inn - Cosy rooms, best food of the trip but on the pricier end, definitely more at the restaurant end of things but couldn't fault the quality. Breakfast as I mentioned was great, perfect for fuelling up ahead of a long day. Word of caution, you have to come off the Ridgeway and there's no dodging the climb back up... We came down Gramps Hill and then back up Court Hill Road which seemed marginally easier.
Frensham, Frensham Pond Hotel - Room fine but a bit shit, really. Wouldn't recommend. My mate called it 'a bit Groupon' and I think that nails the description. Breakfast was a bit wank as well. Couple of good things close by though, The Barley Mow in Tilford is next to a wonderful green and has a pizza oven, there's also the CraftBrews taproom nearby which I highly recommend making a stop at.
South Harting, The White Hart - Nice rooms, great food but also on the pricier side of things. Lovely beer garden which catches the setting sun. Continental breakfast included was pretty decent as well.
We'd booked most of this about 7-8 weeks ago, I haven't looked but I imagine as restrictions have eased prices may have increased a fair bit. Any other questions just shout/drop me a PM.
