Checking in and out was nice and simple. Room was very good and spotlessy clean. Comfortable bed. The only let down was breakfast which was a bit dry and overcooked. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was great, in a town where it is notoriously difficult. Would be happy to stay again.

Historic property in the centre of Marlborough. Very convenient for the town and a good base to explore the local area. Food was good and staff helpful although they were busy. Room was well equipped and only thought was that it was looking a bit tired decor wise. Very comfy bed so no complaints. Would definitely stay again.

This inn is old and rooms, while clean, comfortable, and very serviceable, are tired and could use some updating. The staff was very helpful with luggage, etc. I’ll certainly visit again.
