Comfortable stay in a friendly and welcoming hotel

Friendly and welcoming pub. A stop off on the Ridgeway. Great food and real ale with evening meal and a good breakfast in the morning- porridge and full English. We also ordered a reasonably priced packed lunch- good sandwiches, boiled egg, juice, orange and fruit and nuts to nibble on the way. Room was comfortable although shower perhaps a little tight ( but nice also to have option of bath)

Very nice stay.

Room was large, bright and very pleasant. It took some fiddling but eventually I was able to get my shaver to work with the electrical socket in the bathroom. Hotel is at the north end of the village. People who work there are friendly and have helpful information such as taxi services in the area. Dinner was good but my preference would have been that they spent more money on the quantity of the food and less on the presentation (which was more like a posh restaurant than a pub).

Business trip so very convenient for Marlborough. WiFi was excellent to start but then failed for unknown reason. Parking was tight. Room was adequate but comfortable with tea coffee and very nice home made biscuits. Nice touch. Ate in the bar. Usually keep Away from pub curry’s but this one was excellent. Value for money was very good. Will stay here again
