Nothing major - room decor was a little dark for my taste and, because of the proximity of the A4, it was a little noisy at times.

Food was universally good to excellent. Good menu - plenty of choice for all tastes. Room was comfortable and well appointed, Staff were great - friendly and efficient. Lovely touch to be given fresh milk on arrival (and every morning throughout my stay).

Friendly welcome. Gorgeous rooms. Great food. Max at check in set the tone. Super friendly and professional—we felt very welcome from the first moment. Food was delicious. Nice breakfast option. Small table of croissants, pain au chocolat and fruits plus a hot food breakfast menu. All delicious and quality.

The staff were polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Food was excellent and the accommodation rustic style but very modern with under floor heating and an excellent wet room shower. Fantastic location as we were using the A34, a great stay and would definitely use again.

The only thing we was slightly disappointed with not being able to check in earlier but our fault for arriving to early. We was welcomed to wait in the restaurant. Could hear slight road noise but only with windows open and we was the closest to the road

Absolutely beautiful, more than just a room. Beautifully decorated, in beautiful surroundings. Every moment was a wow. We was in a dog friendly room as we took our boy, who was more than happy to find treats awaiting in our lodge. Excellent breakfast and very professional service. Fresh products and we could taste they was locally sourced and great value for money overall Lots of little extra touches that made our stay luxurious. We will definately be back

Just a heads up, we had a very warm two days and decided to take a cab from the train station to the Inn. Cabs are parked right outside. It would have been a bit of a walk otherwise, although there are sidewalks and it is certainly do-able. Lots of parking onsite if you are driving though. Advantage of taking the cab was we arranged for the same driver to take us to Highclere and pick us up again the next day.

Our room was number 14 (The Hackney). No expense has been spared in decorating and comfort. As is typical for Europe, the room was not exceptionally large but it was luxuriously appointed and extremely comfortable. A welcome drink and nice tea and coffee service, bottled still and sparkling water all awaited us. Fresh milk and more bottled water awaited me before 6 am for my morning tea. Very comfortable bed and new, modern bathroom. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food, wine and service were just wonderful. Kyle and Elliott are assets to the property. We did not have a drink in the bar but it is beautiful. We had a delicious breakfast (included) the next morning - buffet and a la carte both available. The hotel kept our bags for no charge when we checked in early and went for a walk along the canal, and also while we visited Highclere Castle the next day, which was much appreciated. Front desk staff on check-in and check-out were lovely. We absolutely would stay here again and highly recommend.

The property was very characterful, in excellent decorative order and stylishly presented. The room we were placed in to begin with was rather hot but the staff were very happy to move us to another, cooler one, which we were very comfortable in.

So much thought has gone onto the decor inside and outside of this beautiful venue. Very welcoming staff, refreshingly so.

First of all, it is the second time I have stayed at the hotel. The staff, the breakfast, the room, the location, dinner...whatever you choose the answer will be excellent.Spotless clean. Perfectly refurbished. I can go there just to stay one night to live the experience again. The staff from the reception to the kitchen are very friendly, and very well trained, and they all have great personalities that create a big difference. I can't thank them enough to show my appreciation. Especially to Max and Andrea. I would definitely go back with pleasure. It is a "must-see and stay" hotel.

Service in the dining room for both breakfast and dining was slow but we were able to overlook this because of the lovely atmosphere.

The decor everywhere at the accommodation was beautiful & very consider. The staff were very attentive & polite especially Max.

No cleaning of room. So didn’t get fresh tea or coffee and clean towels. ? No milk sachet. Fresh milk only offered but no fridge in room so it went off quickly, think both options should be offered. Wine prices were a bit high ? And don’t agree with paying extra for eggs Benedict £5 when full English is included. Something wrong?

Lovely atmosphere, great bar and restaurant.
