A masterclass in how to do a pub with rooms: the perfect mix of locals with a Labrador at foot at the bar, and weekenders who’ve escaped for a romantic weekend. Ivy-clad and on the edge of rolling parkland, it has itsown Beckford Phoenix on tap and a menu with pints of prawns and the smartest ploughman’s (Westcombe cheddar and Wiltshire ham). Crash in a bedroom upstairs, one of its lodges nearby on the estate or in the 18th-century Great Arch.  

Hidden down one of Tisbury's most unexpected country lanes, Montes & Clark is a tiny garden hut brimming with beautifully crafted treasures for the home. It's the creative trove of Kate Clark, where you'll find handcrafted textiles and design-led pieces, from oak-framed appliqué artwork and vibrant Mexican-striped lampshades to handwoven storage baskets with leather handles, made by a weaving community in Ghana's Bolgatanga region. 

A recent addition to Tisbury's high street, this Narnia-esque bookshop was founded by journalist Chloe Fox. Step inside to discover shelves brimming with the latest hardbacks, bestselling fiction and a thoughtfully curated 'Shelf Help' table. Strike up a conversation while you're browsing for seasonal reading recommendations, hidden gems and a first look at the events calendar. The intimate in-conversation evenings with authors are well worth bookmarking.

Your local Tisbury wine and spirits merchant, founded by two friends – Tim Gardner and Nick Beedle – in 2021. With shelves stacked with over 100 wines, from crisp, chilled whites to bold, fruit-forward reds, there's a bottle for every taste and every occasion. Or plan ahead and book a wine tasting, complete with charcuterie and cheese pairings.
