Across the Cotswolds, our pubs bring fresh energy to some of the region’s most characterful buildings. The Mason’s Arms is a 17th-century village local where quiet afternoons have a habit of turning lively. The Wild Duck in Ewen pairs beams and open fires with thoughtfully designed rooms above.
The Double Red Duke in Clanfield balances bold interiors and open-fire cooking with bedrooms made for switching off, while its Bicester Village sibling offers a slice of countryside comfort in unexpected surroundings. Different addresses, same principles: good food, well-kept drinks and a spirit that feels unmistakably alive.
As our eight new bedrooms at the @masonsarmsclanfield begin to take shape, there’s one name woven throughout their design: William Morris.
Just down the road from us in Clanfield lies Kelmscott Manor, Morris’s much-loved Cotswold retreat and a place he described as “Heaven on Earth”. His connection to this corner of the Cotswolds made his work a natural starting point for the bedrooms.
Designed by @georgie_pearman, the rooms bring @wmorrisandco iconic patterns into the character and history of our 16th-century pub, with wallpapers chosen throughout to give each space its own identity.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more from behind the designs, the patterns we’ve chosen and the stories that inspired them.
Eight new bedrooms. Opening this September.
