Staff were young and inattentive on mobiles not paying attention and require training. This is a charming inn but it’s trying to be posh eatery and the food was over spiced and the breakfast cold 🥶 yet tasty far too much chilli on the avocado 🥑 for breakfast. Chef and cook should try the food before they serve it.

Charming place, room was lovely, beer was excellent.

The bed was comfortable and large and the bathroom clean and rather new. We opted for breakfast and had a fantastic one.

As with many places now, you do have to request for your room to be made up if you are staying for more than 1 night. This is a bugbear of mine, as, to me, a hotel is a place where you go to be relaxed, and I don't want to be coming back in the evening to my unmade bed. Others think differently, I know.

In a lovely location, this inn offers good facilities for dining and staying, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food menu is a little limited, but there is enough there to satisfy most tastes, and when we went slightly piste they were very accommodating. Breakfast was great, and very tasty. The room are clean and well-equipped although one of our group's room was right over the AC unit which was very noisy, and he had to be moved for the second night. The thing that stood out for me was the effort the staff made to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

It was expensive to stay 2 nights bed and breakfast. . Approx £250. The room was nice but not carpeted, so cold when getting up during the night. For a 'full English' breakfast, we had to pay £4 extra ppl. My (sipposed to be normal breakfast) was 1 sausage, 2 pieces streaky bacon, half a tomato, 1 mushroom, 1 fried egg, 1 slice of toast. No hssh brown. No beans. We weren't offered more tea or coffee. We waited over 35 minutes for our breakfast and there weren't many people in when we were there. The outdoor 'pods' were littered with pieces of paper/rubbish. Empty glasses left on tables f an hour or 2. Someone came with a torch to clear tables as it was dark.

Parking was free. Restaurant was lovely. Outside seating areas including 'pods' were lovely with nght lights. They gave us little flasks of milk and oatmilk for our rooms on arrival . We had a small percolator and illey percolated coffee and a kettle in our room. On the second morning's breakfast i asked for a Croissant which was freshly baked which was lovely (waited 35 minutes for it, had to ask for butter, wasn't offered jam/marmalade even though another customer was .)

Breakfast / pub area a bit understaffed and overwhelmed, and it shows. Our table for instance had been reset, but not cleaned properly, thus very sticky.

Good hotel, good location. Nice rooms & accommodating staff.

Sunken bed. At our age we found this difficult.

Private bathroom facilities were good. Tea/coffee available in room. Managed to get last minute booking. Staff extremely accommodating

The double bed was beautifully comfortable but difficult to get out of bed as it was against a wall, so only really appropriate for 1 person unless you are very agile. Also the laundry van arrived outside our window at 8 am & was noisy for half an hour. Disturbing the peace we came for sadly …

Friendliest of the staff, relaxing atmosphere, acceptance of my dogs (no extra charge), able to open the window in the room, wonderful breakfast, a real nice vibe. Great little walk round via the lake instead of the road. The hotel should advertise this walk that takes you to the cricket ground & coffee stop.

The building was a little tired and in need of tlc in some places.

An old rustic building with character, excellent friendly service, fabulous comfortable bed, breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I would stay here again when visiting Highclere Castle for events - only 15 minutes away.

We would have loved to have eaten in the pub as the food sounded lovely, but we found it a little expensive. So opted to drive to Andover and find something a little more to budget.

The rooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable.

The building could certainly do with some re decoration particularly window frames & cills. It spoiled the overall appearance of the building

A very acceptable inn. We enjoyed an excellent evening meal. Very attentive staff.

Despite receiving confirmation, on check-in we were told our requested room was not available. Subsequently found out it was given to an agency chef. Discovered we were overcharged for drinks when we checked our itemised bill after paying, but this was quickly rectified once we brought it to management's attention.

The inn is in a lovely location, on the edge of a picturesque village. The dinner was nice and reasonably priced. Room was pretty small and cramped, but fine for 1 night. It's a dog friendly hotel and the walls and floors in the room are very thin, so we could hear dogs barking and the people above us snoring during the night.

Room was good, bed was good, dinner & breakfast good, shower good. Great overnight stay thanks.

Unfortunately there were some very selfish guests who kept us awake with their very loud chatting and banging around in the room above us until 1.30am and again just after 7.30am.

Convenient location, nice rooms and very clean

Would have liked curtains/voile at the window to screen for privacy. The blind made it difficult to have the window open. Evening meal a little disappointing.

Location Character

Great location, easy to find. We stayed on a Tuesday eve and hoped the bar would still be open when we returned from a family party at 9.45pm. sadly not. But I guess if it's been quiet ? Lovely coffee caffiterre, comfy bed, and smashing breakfast.

The bathroom had flaking paint and some mould. Also mould around the window.

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Great breakfast included for the price which made it great value for money.

The cleaning of the restaurant loo could be improved.

The choice for the breakfast was tremendous. Good quality and fast service and on top of that, a wonderful smile 😊. The area around the hotel is just superb rural scenery. Quiet, peaceful. Perfect to unwind.
