Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very good and cheerful. Very much a local pub still, which we enjoyed, especially when the rugby was on! We were in Bedroom 8, which in busy times would suffer with a lock of privacy being overlooked by the path down the side and a glamping tent behind. The cooked breakfast was fantastic, but that's all there was, no fruit or cereal. We did enjoy our stay there however.

Lovely cosy pub, excellent food and service

A very comfortable last minute stay in this lovely pub. The rooms are very cosy and comfortable, the service outstanding and the food just delicious. The only thing I'd change is the plug and bright green fire escape lighting that illuminates the room too much for a good night's sleep. Overall a very lovely stay.

We had a lovely night here on the evening of the relaunch. Accommodation was comfortable and clean with plenty of room. We had a great meal in the lounge. Really good to see a village pub taking on a new lease of life with ambitious, energetic and enthusiastic staff.

2 Nights Stay

The queen bed was made from 2 twin mattresses which were rather stiff. Our sleep wasn't the best. The shower had some mold on the caulking. The food and service in their restaurant was excellent. Also, the staff was very friendly. Walking to Highclere Castle, even though fairly close, is not recommended.
