Start planning your weekend escape
We love the hustle and bustle of Odiham, especially when the sun shines, and the pavements are dotted with relaxed, jovial groups enjoying their refreshing drinks, and chatter. The real gem to being here in Odiham however, is the easy proximity to the South coast and the big smoke of London; which ensures our pub’s boutique B&B rooms are in constant use with passing travellers, and those looking for a weekend escape to discover the wonderful villages and towns close by.
So, in time for the best parts of 2023, we’ve chosen our top picks of the year, and will continue to keep adding, to ensure there’s a super reason to bring you to the town of Odiham for a visit, soon:
