While travelling through England we stopped for the night at the Beckford Arms,
a traditional country pub, run with energy and impeccable taste by husband and wife team Charlie and Chloë
The many personal touches make this such a charming place 
The
rooms are cosy and stylish, decorated in a palette of
neutral colours, with beautiful linens and ultra-comfortable beds
Breakfast
also included a tray to mix your own Bloody Mary. After spotting my
favourite vodka (Finlandia), resistance was futile..
the egg timer's coloured sand seemed to be in full support of the olympic team,
and it reminded me of my new Le Laboratoire du Temps..
DS's egg turned out absolutely perfect!
The bar
The sitting room
Chloë
arrived with an armful of fresh wildflowers in the morning, which were
then arranged into tiny milk bottles and distributed throughout the
place
She also has a wonderful line of bath and body products (Bramley), of which I have been a fan for years..
..so instead of having a new shipment sent to France, I brought a few bottles as a souvenir to take back home
It's been a wonderfully relaxing and comfortable stay, wish we could have spent some more time!

So light and airy, and utterly charming! Thank you MaiTai, for sharing this gem. The bath products look heavenly, too!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have the chance to visit one day! All bathrooms feature the full Bramley range, it took me rather a long time to emerge for breakfast!
DeleteIt all looks so cozy I would go there in a minute...in fact I am still in search for my september vacation destination:)
ReplyDeleteThe bloody Mary for breakfast sure keeps your mood up for the rest of the day:D
This pictures are simply amazing!

DeleteWow, how do you find these places? We just moved to Surrey but find it a struggle to even find a nice restaurant! It's a lovely place indeed. Will note it down for when we find the time to travel through England. Will be a bit difficult now as we are expecting our first child!!
ReplyDeleteXx, Chantal
Many congratulations on the wonderful news, my dear Chantal! The BA has been recommended to me, but it is also listed in the Good Pub Guide: http://www.thegoodpubguide.co.uk Wishing you the best of luck for the upcoming happy event!
DeleteMany thanks for the website. I will certainly have a look to see if I can find something as nice near were we live.
DeleteXX,
Chantal
Have You seen the hot water bottle! I have not knitted since years, but maybe I should start a trial? The next winter will come soon.
ReplyDeleteKindest regards of Vienna
Sanne
Isn't it adorable <3 I haven't knitted in a long time (stopped once DS started to prefer fleeces), but the cute cover is so very tempting.. Good luck!
DeleteOh, my goodness, that looks so nice! The food looks delicious and I could devour the olives right now, they just look yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with Sanne - the hot water bottle looks good, I like its little knit "coat". Welcome back, dear MaiTai :-)
Many thanks for the welcome back, dear happyface! So glad you enjoyed the post. The olives were as good as they look!
DeleteLooks lovely. Must check it out some time.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have a lovely time!
DeleteWhat a charming and cosy place, my dear MaiTai!!! The bath and body products look lovely and I can almost smell their fresh scent already....
ReplyDeleteI will definitely take notice of this great pub. Thank you, dear friend. I wish you a lovely week and send you a very big and warm friendship hug, Manuela
Welcome back, my dear Manuela! So glad you enjoyed the post, and the glimpse of the Bramely line. The base note is citrus, which is wonderfully fresh. Have a most lovely rest of the week, and a happy weekend ahead! xx
DeleteSuch lovely pics again and I'm beginning to wonder, if I like the Brits so much because of their drinking habits. :-) Just joking - although a bloody mary in the morning sounds like a fantastic idea; always champagne is boring anyway. Thehe. hugs from the ldhct - xox, Macs
ReplyDeleteHehe, dear Macs, must come and stay with you! Will guarantee you that I won't get bored having champagne every morning ;-) Hugs to you xx
DeleteWord of warning for those of us in the U.S. as they don't ship our way. Yet. I was told they're working on it.
ReplyDeleteAwh, so sorry to hear! Hope they get it sorted out soon..the products are worth the wait, though.
