A PUB in Oxfordshire has been named among the 'hottest' in the world by a magazine. 

Artist Residence, a gastro pub and hotel in South Leigh, has appeared on the UK version of Condé Nast Traveller's Hot List 2018.

Each year the magazine compiles a list of the very best new bars, hotels, restaurants and beach clubs from across the globe. 

The publication's entry on Artist Residence says: "The artist connection is very much in evidence, with conversation starting modern art popping up all over the low-slung beamed spaces: Lucy Sparrow’s corner shop supplies made of felt beside the bar; an Andy Doig neon overlooking the cocktail bar asking teasingly ‘What did I do last night?’.

"This is a country pub that knows how to have serious fun."

Artist Residence is situated above the Mason Arms, in Station Road.
