Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel extremely welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The pub area was attractive and inviting and the food offerings for dinner and breakfast were excellent. Our rooms were cozy yet luxurious with several thoughtful amenities included. Even though we were in close proximity to Highclere Castle, we elected to take a taxi over there for the tour we booked and back due to fast moving traffic on the nearby roads. We will definitely stay here again when next traveling in the area.

The Hotel and staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. My wife had recently suffered a broken leg, which necessitated a room change to a dog friendly ground floor room. Food was plentiful and nice. The location although just outside off the A34 was quiet enough. WiFi was great and the pub/hotel itself was very dog friendly. We would definitely stay again if we’re ever down that way again
