Very Good

The room was OK. We had dinner and the food was OK with a reasonable choice. I was happy with the breakfast too. I thought the cost was very reasonable.
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.

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

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.

Great place to stay
Great staff, a really nice room, and a lovely breakfast. Good value compared to surrounding hotels and b+b's. Very convenient for the A34.
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.
Great place to stop if on way to Southampton from up North or Midlands. Very convienient off the main A34 road, staff great, food very good and great service.
Great location just off Newbury bypass, nice country pub with the accommodation attached next door.
I only had breakfast but there was a good choice and well cooked. Nice peaceful nights sleep
Swift and efficient check in. Very pleasant well appointed en suite room. Super selection of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. First class breakfast selection next morning.
Our room was pleasant but small. Other guests upstairs seemed to clomp around all night. No joists between floor and our ceiling. I didn’t sleep well but my husband did. Excellent breakfast. Annoying it was last orders at eight in the bar but the bar staff and the chef were great.
