Staff were very good and cheerful. Very much a local pub still, which we enjoyed, especially when the rugby was on! We were in Bedroom 8, which in busy times would suffer with a lock of privacy being overlooked by the path down the side and a glamping tent behind. The cooked breakfast was fantastic, but that's all there was, no fruit or cereal. We did enjoy our stay there however.

We had a lovely night here on the evening of the relaunch. Accommodation was comfortable and clean with plenty of room. We had a great meal in the lounge. Really good to see a village pub taking on a new lease of life with ambitious, energetic and enthusiastic staff.

It is a great country/cottage style accommodation. Don’t expect high end rooms, some details needs to be looked after, but that is part of the experience for me.

Excellent accommodation 5 minutes from Highclere Castle, free breakfast was amazing and the food on offer from the restaurant topped the one night stay. Accomodation is not attached to the pub but a walk across the car park, room’s three doors are in need of a joiner’s attention as they need easing to stop them catching on the floor but is adequate for a reasonably priced room

Family trip to Highclere.

Booked this plqce as it's close to Highclere Castle. Check in was quick and easy. Room was nice although the mattress was a bit hard for me. Good Wi-Fi. Some nice snavlcks in the room. Booked a table for dinner and the food and service were excellent. Fair nights sleep. Breakfast is included and again cooked fresh and was great. Checked out and headed to Downtown Abbey.

2 Nights Stay

The queen bed was made from 2 twin mattresses which were rather stiff. Our sleep wasn't the best. The shower had some mold on the caulking. The food and service in their restaurant was excellent. Also, the staff was very friendly. Walking to Highclere Castle, even though fairly close, is not recommended.
