We stayed here to visit Highclere Castle. It was only a 2 minute drive to the castle so very convenient. The breakfast and bar food were good. The rooms were small but perfectly adequate with tv and tea and coffee making facilities

A story book stay!

This was a charming pub and inn. The rooms are small but cozy, very clean, and very comfortable. It felt like staying in a story book English inn and we loved it! We stayed there to tour Highclere Castle and the Bombay Sapphire distillery, and it was well-located for both. There is good, free parking and a nice breakfast.

Pleasant little place

It's a very pleasant pub/hotel. Friendly staff. Extremely close to Highclere Castle. The food was excellent. The only negative aspect was the bathroom. The shower cabinet is very small and vert high up, making it very hard in and out safely. Also there are not enough power points in the room. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended!

Our stay was very pleasant. The manager, Tom, was especially kind and helpful when our rental car stopped working. We were very grateful for his help. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly.
