Highclere stop over

Close to Highclere Castle with plenty of parking spaces and a nice restaurant. The evening meal was good, the pie of the day is superb and the Arkell’s 3B beer is delicious.

My room was a little tired, but for the price I wasn't expecting the Ritz. Perfectly functional, with comfy bed, good shower over bath. Nice extras of biscuits and bottled water. Staff in pub great, food really tasty, food and beer very reasonably priced. Felt very safe and welcomed as a single traveller. Will happily return.

Little gem

What a charming pub with rooms! The food was beautiful and the service was fantastic! Great value for money and generous breakfast included. I was shown to my room - which are really well thought out for things needed (i.e. full length mirror / iron and ironing board) and was pleasantly surprised to see some rooms had outdoor seating :) Would recommend maybe the bathroom windows are frosted over as mine overlooked the car park and ground floor but only had to pull the blind down. I believe it has been taken over recently so sure more improvements will be coming! Will definitely return! Thank you for a lovely stay :)
