I stayed here for work in the area. Accomodation is clean and staff were friendly. Has a good selection of food and drink. I had the best fish and chips here ive had in quite a while but the menu is large enough t cover pub grub or a good steak or curry. I liked it here and would stat again no issue.

Peaceful place

Large room with a bunk bed for children, the bathroom is fine, but a table and a couple of chairs are missing in the room. The curtains do not block the light, every car that passes by on the road is noticeable. family friendly place close to Salisbury.

A bit dated but a lovely stay apart from that. Gets a bit noisy due to being so close to the road and railway, and single-glazing does not help much. However, rooms were lovely and comfy, and nicely decorated. Enjoyed watching films on TV in the evening from my cosy bed.

Quaint small hotel above a pub was nice. The room had been remodeled but certain items were still needing upgrading; old leaky windows, bathroom fixtures, and entry door hardware. I cannot remember the last time I used a skeleton key for a hotel room. The bathroom lacked an exhaust fan, the carpeting in the bath smelled musty and there was mold growing on the wall at the ceiling.

There were limited option of where to stay for my trip, this place was convenient, I was surprised at the £50 per night price. I soon realized why it was this price! firstly, the owner is a lovely gentleman, polite and makes some fantastic curries! however the general state of the pub / accommodation is quite poor and in dire need of refurbishment, the pub itself had no atmosphere whatsoever and an unpleasant smell was evident. If its just a bed you need for a stay-over, this place is fine and of course great value too, but don't expect any 'hotel' style amenities.

The owner was pleasant and obliging, however, the accommodation was shabby and in places very untidy and dirty, which was not welcoming. Outside the part of the building in which the accommodation was located, there were discarded pieces of domestic rubbish and building rubbish. Overall this lack of care gives the impression of a place where we might also question hygiene, so we would not choose to visit again.

Quiet restafter long drives and days

Warm welcome from Dilip, took me to where the room was early, as I was on business and did not know what time I would be back that night, showed me everything. Very nice guy. Very good ,freshly cooked breakfast. Superb freshly cooked Chicken Korahi curry with home made naan etc. Totally delicious. Room was fresh, hughe king size bed, TV. Shower and bath. Quiet, comfortable and I enjoyed the hospitality of the bar too. Met Dilips business partner, another fine guy. There is renovation to the property going on and it will soon look a lotbetter from outside,once the stripped out debris goes from the carpark, but thatis cosmetic. Would stay again. Highlight being HOT, not lukewarm water, as in many establishments. Excellent value for the money. Will be back!

Up and left ...

I preface this with note saying I would give the landlord 24 hours in which to contact me before writing my review. Neither Hotels.com or me have had any communication with them as I write. After 45 minutes I checked out and sought alternative accommodation. Registered owners have much to do to retain guests. It was described as a gastro pub yet failed to serve food and is in a remote location; the uneven path between the pub and accommodation is not lit; the guest directory states “Choose BT WiFi - there was no BT WiFi; Check in took 15 minutes yet I was the only one being served; random plastic bottles were found in my bath.
Random bottles just left in my bath.

Where do I start? Staff were friendly But Place is a mess on multiple levels. It's falling apart, compounded by junk left everywhere. Indoors and out there is stuff lying around. Claims gourmet food but menu is basic and I wasn't brave enough to try it. Claims to be real ale pub but there isn't any unless you count Abbott in a bottle. I tried the cider but spoilt by strange smell from glass - each time. Shower was unusable. They need to close for a month, order a few skips, pile of cleaning materials and a lot of paint!

Average

We didn’t know until we arrived that it is under new management. It definitely is a work in progress. Having said that the staff including the manager were excellent. However the place is quite tired and scruffy particularly upstairs. The bar area is ok, looks recently sorted out. The bedroom needed decorating although the bed was comfortable and bedding was clean. It was curry night so apart from chicken nuggets and fries curry was the only choice which was disappointing. Outside the property needs cleaning and tidying up and the windows need cleaning. However we do wish the new management all the best for the future.

A lucky escape!

We arrived and instantly regretted booking from just parking the car. The run down and untidy appearance outside gave us an unsettled feeling. We thought we’d brave it and walked in to the smell of cooking fat and dirt. We were shown to our room which led us back outside and up to our room through further dirt and grime. All doors to rooms were propped open and all rooms were dated looked like something from the 70/80s. As a mum and daughter we managed 10 minutes before we made the decision to leave as we felt unsafe. We ran out the room to find a woman having a cigarette in a doorway making us both jump. In the car park were a group of teens racing around on a motorbike without a helmet. We made a hasty exit never to return. We were visiting family and had to ask them to return the key as we didn’t dare go back!
