Recommend a "Country Pub" around Bath

[SlimRick]

Can anyone recommend a nice country pub in the Bath area? Not too fussed about the food side of things, but somewhere nice for a couple of drinks and an open fire.

How close and in which direction?

The Plough in Ford is pretty good. http://www.theploughinnford.co.uk/

Something like that would be perfect, but a little closer would be nice, say within half an hour of Bath?

I can vouch for there, and even better that you can sit outside and watch my sister fall off a horse on the gallops (as my parents did when they went to visit her a few months ago ).

That pub is 58 miles from Bath

Presume you mean the White Hart at Ford, near Colerne, as per my post above?
