The Elephant at Pangbourne

A victorian building that follows the theme it's name entails to a refreshing and "quirky" letter. It has been "renovated in unremitting style" with "eclectic bedrooms" that "spin you round the world in style" with their individual themes that "return" you to the "opulence of the empire" that enables guests to "unwind to style". The "tongue-in-groove" bar serves "excellent local produce in a simple and classic manner" while the restaurant, Christoph’s, "offers an elegant fine dining alternative". For the adventurers among us the Pangbourne Meadow offers a "great walk next to the river with stunning views of the wooded Chiltern Hills". The Ascot, Newbury and Windsor Races are all in a close radius for those following the British social calendar. Or why not take the 35 minute drive to the famous, historic Windsor Castle.
