An eclectically colourful former coaching inn that has catered to Highclere Castle travellers since way back when. We’re all about that traditional English vibe, complete with cosy fires for winter evenings and sun-soaked beer gardens for summer days. We’re the perfect spot to kick back, relax and soak in the atmosphere.

Our kitchen is all about serving up delicious seasonal dishes made with the best British ingredients. And trust us, our hospitality is top-notch. Good old-fashioned charm all the way.

Looking to relax, recharge, and explore the beautiful area around us? Well, you’re in luck, the Carnarvon Arms is the ideal place for just that. If you’re into country pursuits, we make a fantastic base and getting here is a breeze – we’re just minutes away from the A34, M4, A303, and Newbury Train Station.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the never-ending list of nearby attractions. You’ve got the famous Downton Abbey Highclere Castle right on our doorstep, the Bombay Sapphire distillery, Newbury Racecourse, a living rainforest, Newbury Showground, and the famous Avon & Kennet canal all just a hop, skip, and a jump away. So much to see and do, you’ll never get bored.
