I stay there a lot when flying into or out of Heathrow. It's very convenient. The staff are always nice and parking is good and central. Then of course, it's super convenient for the prehistoric stone circle at Avebury and also a good place for Stonehenge. If you want a modern place, this isn't for you, but if you don't mind things being 17th Century,maybe it is.

Squeaky floor boards.

We felt the pub was old and quirky! The floor boards squeaked in the bedroom, waking partner when visiting the loo in the night! The bathroom was very tied and we felt it needed a thorough deep clean or a modern update. The beds were exceptionally comfortable.

Efficient helpful staff. Busy pub/restaurant with nice atmosphere. Great breakfast with good selection and range of cooked options. Room at the back overlooking the car park was quiet and perfectly adequate for my couple of nights stay. Marlborough was a lovely town for a quick walk round with a few independent shops and cafes.

Great central location and historical buildings...that did mean creaking of floorboards and those above, but no issues when sleeping 😴. Bar and reception staff great and Wendy was an expert on running routes.

Disappointing cooked breakfast

The cooked breakfast was disappointing. Cold avocado, toast made soggy by inadequately drained poached egg water. Runny egg white. Vegetarian sausage dried out and inedible. Lack of cutlery - no butter knives or teaspoons.

The Castle and Ball provides unpretentious and uncomplicated accommodation. My room was large but not particularly clean, the lamps flickered, there was a rim of scum around the bath and detritus from previous guests behind the table. It was noisy (expected being over a pub). Upsides were pleasant service, easy to get in and out and good food.

Room needed attention. Has carpark & Restaurant

I will say it was a busy weekend when we stayed, so perhaps this room is often unused? The room itself needed some attention. Corner chunk of bedside table laminate was missing exposing underlying wood which could result in harm to clothing or skin; The edges of the bath where it meets the walls, and the area around the shower where fixed to the wall, all need a good clean. No such issue with the sink areas or the rest of the room; The hot water for the bath initially ran a bit grey, again I think lack of use, but cleared. Section of wallpaper near the built in wardrobe coming away, perhaps from an old leak?? But no actual dampness or fustiness. Good selection of tea bags/ coffe sachets in the room. As the room was off around the back (loads of stairs) it was quieter maybe than rooms directly above the bar areas - same as most old pubs & inns. On-site staff were excellent. 'Housekeeping' will knock at your door in the morning if you're staying more than 1 night, so if you're not going down for breakfast, or going out, be aware. Booking system. Weird. Booked via hotels.com, their email said there's no reception desk at the hotel, but there is. If you want to eat at this hotel, reserve a table as the food is excellent. One of the few places in Marlborough with it's own car park - provide vehicle reg when arrive. That's it I think!

Pre Christmas stay to meet family half way. Room was fine, but no hooks to hang coats up. Bar and restaurant service was good, even though it was very busy with Christmas works meals. Shout out to our waiter Toby for the excellent service.
