The best places to drink and do in Chipping Norton, according to the experts: Vogue and the Top 50 Gastropubs have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Soho Farmhouse Spa comes out on top.

The ozone sauna pods and Reformer Pilates studio inside a glass-enclosed antique barn are a long way from the average hotel steam room. The spa at Soho Farmhouse sits in verdant Oxfordshire countryside, and the whole setup leans into that, pairing proper wellness treatments with the kind of setting that does half the work on its own. Named among Vogue's 100 Best Spas in the World, it draws the sort of Londoners who genuinely needed to leave London.

Rank 2. The Royal Oak
British Pub
A Grade II-listed former coaching inn in a Cotswolds village, The Royal Oak is a gastropub that has kept its creaky, traditional soul while adding a proper dining room, snugs, and a kitchen that takes seasonal cooking seriously. The menu drifts from pub classics into more ambitious territory without making a fuss about it. Mariella Frostrup once called it a blueprint for the low-key bolthole, which about covers it.
