Weekend break ideas for Pub/ Restaurant with rooms

[kiwifraser]

I'm struggling to find somewhere for myself and Mrs Kiwi to go for a weekend at the end of February without the kids . Previously we have generally gone to expensive hotels to escape our (and others) wee monsters (Babington, Grove, Whatley Manor) but this time we are on a budget and want to spend up to £100 a night on accommodation.

We are looking for a Pub or Restaurant with good food, and nice rooms for a chilled weekend. I can picture us already sitting in front of a open fire with good view out the window and Guinness/ wine in hand!

Location ideally in a reasonable sized town so we can venture out during the day to find shops to look at and another pub to have a drink .

Most locations I have found so far are either miles from anywhere, great but overbudget (http://www.russellsofbroadway.co.uk), or look good but get rubbish or mixed reviews (http://www.thecrownamersham.com/home.php).

We are in Berkshire, so hopefully within 90 minutes drive of home (Gloucester/ Hampshire/ Dorset/ Bucks/ Berks/ Surrey/ West Sussex/ Oxfordshire/ etc).

An ideal solution would be something like this where we stayed a couple of years ago down in Cornwall...

Any ideas greatfully welcomed please

The Manor, Castle Combe?

Very nice, but it goes in the £££££££££ Pennyhill style budget, rather than a couple of nights in a smaller £££ boutique pub budget
