lovely place

finding someone else’s underwear in the bedside cabinet, no hairdryer in room and when we asked for one it was broken.

lovely building with great aesthetics.

There was some outside noise all night - a door or shutter opening/closing. It would have been great to have a small fridge in the room.

Room was very comfortable. Food was great.

We had a wonderful mid-week one night stay at this quaint place. Beautiful cosy bedroom with lovely sized shower and huge bath. The bed was very comfortable, and although our room was situated road side and we could hear the road traffic this died down around 10pm. We celebrated our 25th anniversary in the restaurant by having a full 3 course meal in the restaurant, which has a lovely ambience. Food was a bit pricey, not your usual pub fare, but really excellent ! The Wooky Hole Cheddar Souffle for starters was light and tasty. We both had the Walter Rose Sirloin steaks for mains which was cooked to perfection and very tender. I recommed the garlic butter for these. This was topped with a decadent desert of Ameretto Choclate mouse and raspberry sorbet to cut the sweetness and my husband had the sticky toffee pudding with fluffy caramel creme. Truly a treat.

Steps were a bit steep to climb up to room and felt a little rickety!

Handy location for what we needed visiting friends locally. Nice room (4 poster) with slice of cake on arrival in our room. Free car park.

The room was nice, albeit the door handle to outside was loose, some paint was peeling off, but decor still very nice.

Staff were very attentive, food was delicious, and the room was nice. Very much enjoyed the hot tub, which was basic, but did the job. Just what we needed for our stay.

Room actually on the road that runs alongside the pub so noisy if you opened the window. Country road but runs into Newbury and is a fast one.

Beautiful pub/hotel out in the countryside. Excellent food and very helpful, friendly staff. Room was on the "cozy" side but no less comfortable for that and there was a great view across open fields. Staff had no hesitation in getting hold of a fan for us as we were there on one of the hottest days of the year.

Good location, excellent value for money, comfortable and well-presented rooms, lovely staff and the breakfast was amazing! We felt very well looked after; from initial call to organise adjacent rooms, on arrival and especially at breakfast. A nice team working here. Would definitely return.

WiFi sitting just outside was not good and would connect and disconnected repeatedly. it’s a simple case of installing an external AP or two.

The room with Jacuzzi was great as was the bed. We eat in the restaurant and the meal was excellent, impossible to fault, some of the best cooked lamb we have ever had anywhere.

Nothing major, just little niggles really. No hangers, so end up leaving clothes in room making it look untidy. No shelf by the bath for toiletries. Stair carpet needs a bit of a clean. Didn’t worry us too much but road gets pretty busy by about 6ish, so might disturb others. Think only a few rooms are on the road though. Positives easily outweigh the negatives.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Room was really well appointed spacious and airy. Bathroom lovely with s shower big enough for a whole football team (well 5 a-side) Staff were really attentive and helpful. Breakfast waiter worked his socks off and kept on top of the dining room really well. Apparently in 2021 they won an award for their breakfast. Not at all surprising, it was exceptional.

Breakfast could have a better selection such as cereals There was only porridge, so no cold cereal available.

Really nice place inside, very nice country feel to it.

Rural location, but easy access to all major roads.

The walls throughout are looking a bit tired and in need of a lick of paint. The room was not as clean as when we had previously stayed there. Nice food but overpriced.

Nice room, friendly staff, lovely location

The shower wasn't working properly.

The evening staff that served dinner were inattentive and as I wasn't a regular they were less than interested bordering on rude. They gave me a extra side dish that I assumed at the time was part of the main meal until I was charged for it. After asking if I wanted desert I waited nearly 20 mins whilst they chatted to regulars and walked back and forwards past me totally ignoring me until I asked if I could order then it looked to much like hard work. Worst of all and what I really hate is they automatically put service charge on the bill which I know you can ask to be taken off but it puts the customer in an awkward position. The automatic service charge and the dinner staffs poor service and the way they looked down there nose at me and their ignorance is the reason why I wont be staying here again or recommending it.

A Lovely pub in a good location the afternoon staff that welcomed me were great and the morning staff that checked me out were very friendly. The room was really nice looking very clean and comfortable the bottled water was a nice touch
