Great place to stay
Great staff, a really nice room, and a lovely breakfast. Good value compared to surrounding hotels and b+b's. Very convenient for the A34.

A tad disappointed
Restaurant evening meal excellent. The pub/restaurant is lovely. Staff very good. The breakfast was just ok nothing fancy (last time was much better). But unfortunately for us this time the let down was the room was too cold, we had to ask for the heating to be put on when we arrived at 7pm. It obviously went off during the night as we were both awake 3am freezing. No blankets. No way to turn the heating on. Luckily the shower was read hot the following morning as the heating didn’t come on until we were going for breakfast. Sorry Carpenters we were return guests but will have to rethink staying again in winter months. Sorry if this seems negative, your pub & restaurant is beautiful inside, your staff are great. I would return for evening meal&drinks but not overnight unless it’s summer.

Very conveniently located for our visit to Highclere Castle. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Nicely decorated with Christmas baubles and spacious/airy dining room where we thoroughly enjoyed a delicious evening meal. We stayed in the converted cottage in the grounds and were very pleased with the facilities - our room had everything we needed. Very good breakfast included in the price! Lovely English pub, would certainly recommend and would stay there again. Extremely good value for money.
