For all its charms, Cambridgeshire is not known for its hills – this welcoming village local takes its name from three Iron Age burial mounds, the largest such tumuli north of the Alps. Both dog friendly and wallet friendly, it delivers as both a pub and a restaurant, according to readers. When Chris and Sarah Field bought the 17th-century alehouse at the end of 2015 it was tired and outdated. Now white hydrangeas froth around a smart porch. There is a library with log fire for cold days, an orangery restaurant, a bar, a heated patio and pizza oven for outdoor dining and a landscaped garden running down to the River Granta. The smart Scandi-style bedrooms are serene and uncluttered. Apart from one olive-green twin room, they are painted in soft blues and greys, and all have an espresso machine, a Roberts radio, filtered water, White Company toiletries, a power shower. The modern British menu ticks all the classics boxes, with more inventive dishes such as calamari bruschetta, harissa lamb rump and smoked duck salad.
