Second time I stopped. Different room this time, clean, warm and good shower. Tea making facilities in room. Had an evening meal with a couple of friends and we were all happy with food. Good beer and lovely staff as always

I love these old coaching inns, this being the second one I have used just outside Newbury. The inn is very traditional and due to its listed status remains as true to its origins. The rooms are situated around the back of the pub and are very spacious with tea, coffee and biscuits provided. The countryside, quiet lane setting is very peaceful. Breakfast service is 5 star and the young lady was very helpful and chatty. Lots of parking available and you can park right outside your allotted room.

Popped in for lunch. So glad we did. Decided on the steak pie. Tender beef and good selection of well cooked vegetables. Portions were very generous.

Nice room but a bit simple. Bathroom could use new tiles but was clean. Extensive breakfast but limited hours (7:30 am - 9:00 am). Had a good curry for dinner. Staff is friendliness itself. Would definitely come back here again.

Lovely place, very nice friendly staff, food good and clean rooms. We did run out of bacon for breakfast! But we would recommend 100% Well done 👍🏻

What a wonderful place went here for a random dinner on a Thursday evening. Both the pub menu and outstanding time menu were brilliant. The food was truly top quality and the service from all of the staff was exceptional. It was so refreshing to be serve with a smile by people that genuinely want you to be there and have a nice time. We enjoyed it so much that we changed our family birthday party for a few weeks time from a different venue we had booked to this place as it was so nice. Seem to have found a unusual balance of a traditional pub whilst also doing some events with a great big garden and a nice patio really good work to the team. Very impressed.

Room was a little dated and in need of greater soundproofing. Possible to hear next doors conversations. In this day and age; sockets should include usb for charging. Service and breakfast was excellent.

Good stopover before going to Highclere castel. We are in a good traditional pub and the rooms are acceptable for a fitness before further adventures

Appalling. Two of us booked a room to stay in after attending a wedding nearby. We weren’t given a key upon check-in but were promised our rooms would be left unlocked with the keys inside upon our return later that night. We came back to find both rooms locked and were forced to climb through the window to get in and sleep in locked rooms which were dirty and without loo roll. We obviously expected an unreserved apology the next morning but were instead shocked to have the manager criticise us for ‘putting our lives at risk’. Extraordinary.

A real gem of a place. Room had ensuite, tv and tea/coffee facilities. Evening meal was excellent. Staff were friendly and accommodating providing my other half with an ad hoc dessert of bananas in custard. Will definitely rebook when we are next in the area.

The roast dinner here is simply unbeatable in the area. Every element was cooked to perfection, we couldn't find a single fault. An absolutely exceptional meal! Coupled with friendly, attentive staff and spotless facilities, we will be back!!

Great service at first by a lovely barmaid with a ginger bob and the man serving the food was very attentive. Service went downhill when a much older lady with blonde hair took over and the atmosphere changed dramatically. Spent half the time out smoking and everything seemed an effort for her
