    Warm Ambiance with Great Food

    Our recent stay was perfectly cozy on a chilly night. The inviting fires added warmth, and the dinner options were superb! Breakfast on lovely crockery felt incredibly special. Make sure to enjoy the dog-friendly garden if you're traveling with pets. Book ahead to secure a spot in the restaurant!

    cleanliness issues
    traffic noise

    Charming outdoor seating, Convenient access to Highclere Castle, Tastefully decorated interior

    Inconsistent cleaning standards with dust and cobwebs visible!!! The noise from the nearby A34 is intrusive, making rooms feel claustrophobic. Limited hanging space in rooms is impractical!!!

    small dinner portions

    Perfect spot for a getaway

    Just had my second stay here and it’s awesome! Rooms are freshly done up, breakfast is included which is fantastic, and we even had a nice dinner in the lounge area. Super friendly staff made us feel right at home. My only knock? The dinner portions were kinda tiny for the price. Still, totally worth it!

    delicious food
    cozy atmosphere
    lacking play area

    We had a delightful stay at this charming spot. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us all feel right at home. The highlights were the delicious food and the cozy atmosphere, perfect for our family outings with three little ones in tow.

    In my wife’s opinion, the play area could use some improvement. My kids wished there were more activities to keep them entertained during downtime.

    vegan dinner
    cozy room
    relaxing terrace
    snug room

    I had a lovely time enjoying the delicious vegan dinner options and the cozy room that came with plenty of tea, coffee, and a sweet treat. The sun terrace was a perfect spot to relax, and the garden area was just as inviting. While the room was snug and the honesty bar was a bit lacking in options, overall, it was a delightful stay! 😄

    great location
    clean room
    delicious food
    peeling paint
    slow service

    the location is great for visiting highclere castle and the room was clean and comfy. the bar and restaurant were smart and had a cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious. really enjoyed my stay here as this was my 2nd visit and just as good as the first time. loved the beautiful flowers and hanging baskets around the place.

    the paintwork on the windows and doors is peeling badly, and needs some attention. also, the service could be a bit slow at times.

    The atmosphere was lovely with friendly staff, and meals were enjoyable, especially breakfast. the shower space was quite limited, making for an uncomfortable experience. there were a few service hiccups that detracted from the overall enjoyment during our visit.

    hearty portions
    local produce
    welcoming staff
    ventilation issues
    cold breakfast
    small room

    The location near Highclere Castle is perfect for visitors. I loved the cozy atmosphere of the bar and restaurant. The staff greeted me warmly every time. The food was pretty good, especially the hearty portions at dinner. Managed to enjoy some local produce too. my room felt quite small and lacked proper ventilation. The heating wasn't working during my stay, which made things uncomfortable at times. Others mentioned issues with room sizes too, which makes me wonder if consistency is a problem. Breakfast service was quite slow, and I noticed some of the food items were cold. the experiences felt a bit mixed, with some aspects really shining, while others fell short.

    clean room
    nice duvet
    fluffy towels
    small bathroom
    insufficient power points

    The location was ideal for visiting Highclere Castle, which was just a short drive away. I liked that my room was clean and had a nice duvet, along with fluffy towels. the bathroom was quite small, and it could definitely use more power points. I had a pleasant experience during my stay.
