Gem of a place.

Great short stay. Our room oozed character and history, enhanced by top quality fittings. Bed was enormous and super comfy. Breakfast was absolutely spot on. Complimentary bottles(!) of gin and whisky and the posh shower toiletries topped it all off.

What a wonderful night away to celebrate our wedding anniversary, loved our lunch the steak was so good, All the staff were really welcoming, Such a lovely atmosphere! We went for a stroll around the village, when we came back the bar was busy but everyone there was enjoying the evening, We felt really lucky to have the huge lounge to ourselves, Our room was perfect 👌 gorgeous big bed and a role top bath just set it all of nicely, Breakfast was amazing!!

The staff were very amicable & accommodating, the building has some history and is quite interesting, but not well suited to ‘modern systems’ like the fire alarm - I didn’t enjoy being outside at 1am on a previous visit and 3am this time!

This is a go-to property every time we come over. The food is through-the-roof good, the rooms are clean and beautiful, and the parking is great. The bar is a local hangout, and everyone is VERY welcoming and they love to chat and share stories. Don't hesitate to eat there. The food is one of the reasons we stay. Staff is amazing. The ground floor room we had opened up onto the chef's garden, and it was quiet, and even pastoral. A lot of people come there to go to Kingsclere castle, i.e. "Downton Abbey" -- but we stay there for the food and service, and it's a wonderfully quiet place with great people.

Delightful 15th century pub with very comfortable rooms. The food in the pub was superb at both dinner and breakfast and we would highly recommend staying here.

This is lovely hotel situated in a very cozy area! On site parking was convenient. Staff were extremely helpful! Breakfast service was great and the hotel restaurant was outstanding. Very close to many sites especially Highclere Castle. Rooms were updated, clean, and spacious with all of the amenities. There was even a very comfy sitting room on our floor!
