Pleasant little place
It's a very pleasant pub/hotel. Friendly staff. Extremely close to Highclere Castle. The food was excellent. The only negative aspect was the bathroom. The shower cabinet is very small and vert high up, making it very hard in and out safely. Also there are not enough power points in the room. Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay. Highly recommended!

Our stay was very pleasant. The manager, Tom, was especially kind and helpful when our rental car stopped working. We were very grateful for his help. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly.

Cosy and clean. Polite staff. Easy access to local area but still far enough away to be quiet and relaxing.
