The Inn with the Well in Wiltshire

Had a great stop off here before my final night of walking the Ridgeway. Very warm and friendly staff - arriving on a Friday evening was great as the local patrons were welcoming too and wood-fired pizza available that tasted amazing, thank you!

Fantastic little pub. Mike and Meg are fabulous hosts, with unending energy. Room was very comfortable, as was the bed. Highly recommend.

Excellent - nothing too much trouble. We are on a walking trip and as well as spacious room, excellent food and friendly welcome we were sen off with perfect pack lunches, all wrapped in paper - no plastic! Thank you!

Stayed here recently for a local course in MOD Lyneham. It was well-situated and easy to find. The rooms were good, the beer was good, and the food was excellent! The owners were very friendly and we felt extremely well-catered for.

Mike and the team were great whilst we spent a weekend here for a course and dined both nights. The food was great and we were well furnished with drinks the entire night. The rooms were comfortable and a packed breakfast for our early starts was no problem. A great place to stay.

Superb service even tho the place was very busy. Friendly staff and delicious home made pizzas that were perfectly prepared in the outdoor pizza oven. Great place

I would very highly recommend the Inn with the Well. I stopped off here for dinner with my 12 year old as part of a 2 night trip wild camping along part of The Ridgeway (because I’m happy to sleep in a ditch but not without a proper meal). The food and service were both outstanding. We arrived looking slightly bedraggled but were warmly welcomed. Dinner of chicken/whitebait for starters and burger/pork belly for mains were filling and delicious and the local beer was good. All of the other customers were equally well treated. Thanks also to the group who shared a sandwich with us when we bumped into them the next day - I can confirm that the packed lunches are good!

Our second visit to this lovely Inn.We were staying at The Inn for 3 nights as it proves to be an ideal base for a long weekend attending a Metal Detecting Rally. Megan Mike and the team so very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.We had a Full Breakfast each morning and an evening Meal together with a couple of packed lunches which kept the hunger at bay during our outings . Hopefully will be returning again next year Many thanks for making our stay relaxing and welcome

We are so happy we booked to stay here for our first night cycling The King Alfreds way. The room was gorgeous, big and warm. It was a real welcome from a long tough muddy day on the saddle. The owners are literally angels for serving us a warm dinner and sorting out a hose for us to wash our bikes down and store them overnight. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and the Beer was also very good. Thank you for having us 😀

Very welcoming stop over night. Dog friendly in bar, restaurant and rooms. Vegetarian options available

We booked for our anniversary and what a treat. The food was well presented and delicious. We were well looked after and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Highly recommended

Pleasant enough surroundings however hospitality could be friendlier and food rather lacklustre. Unlikely to recommend.

Nearing the end of 6 days from Goring to Overton. Stayed here and met with a couple of friends for dinner. We all chose differently and we agreed the pub food was excellent and reasonably priced. Fine cask ale from the cellar brought up in jugs. Comfortable large room Enjoyed eggs benedict for breakfast before settling off for the final day. Well recommended if you are doing the Ridgeway and like good beer and pub food.

we were staying here and chose to eat too. Glad we did. Good food served at a good price and they have a lovely local gin!

Good location for Marlbough, clean, quite basic on suite room. Breakfast was very disappointing, no full English breakfast. We were asked to order the night before, which we found odd. Ordered the eggs benidict which was inedible when it came with some strange version of hollindaise sauce which was extremely sweet.Because of this we cannot recommend it as a bed and breakfast.

Food varied and reasonably priced, really good welcome fir us and our dog Millie. Would definately stay again if in the area.

Just finished a long geocaching walk. Hungry and needed a coffee and sandwich. Excellent food, coffee & tea. Even the sun came out.

Popped in for an evening meal at the end of my first day's walk along the Ridgeway; great food and nicely served with freshly cooked veg.

My husband and I stayed here for one night over the May bank holiday. Our room was clean and the hosts were welcoming and friendly. Even though we both choose the cooked breakfast I appreciated that there were so many options to choose from. The dog was really sweet and friendly. We were a bit concerned about hitting him with the car though. It was nice to come into the pub for a nightcap after our dinner out.

We were walking The Ridgeway and had terrible weather and tired legs, so I wanted somewhere to sit and dry out on our 22-mile walk from the start in Overton, to where we staying, which was an excellent B&B (see my review) in Liddington, just a bit further east. So, we dropped down into Ogbourne St. George for a rest and dry out and even though we had a lovely packed lunch, we had a tiny bite with our drink. They were very welcoming to Walkers so I would recommend if you need a place to warm up when walking The Ridgeway, but it is off the track, by about half a mile, so if you have tired legs, don’t bother. If you are fit and need a lunch stop and don’t mind the extra distance from The Ridgeway then it would be fine to rest briefly at this Inn. This is a classic British Pub with good hospitality and friendly service. It is practically under the A346 that is raised at that point. I am glad that we weren’t staying there, as I am very noise sensitive and need a good night’s sleep before walking.

Real old school pub. Food was as expected and served promptly. Cider was lovely and all in all, we had a proper chilled evening there. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return.

lovely local beers, wonderful people, excellent food, couldn't ask for better. nice to sit outside and have no cloud and see the stars................

Stopped here while walking the Ridgeway. We were early and they were not open but the manager showed us to our rooms and gave us tea and coffee outside on the picnic table. I had lasagna at dinner which was fine. This pub attracts a lot of locals and walkers for a drink and there were plenty of dogs. The rooms are attached to the Inn and were comfortable. The breakfast was typical english and was filling.

This looks nice a nice pub. It's a bit old fashioned, cosy and the beer is good. A great place for a drinks with friends.

Friendly service and the food was tasty but it's rather like stepping back in time here. Decor is dated and a little sad and the menu is limited and a bit dull. We struggled to find something we liked the sound of and there is no roast on offer on a Sunday which was disappointing. Staff tried hard but pub side of this business lacking in all other areas.

we turned up on the doorstep of this pub, after a day walking the ridgeway in the pouring rain. the lovely landlord Mike, let us in early, gave us wads of newspapers to soak up the drips and generally made us feel very welcome. and there is a bath! so we had a good soak to warm us up before having a smashing meal, again cooked by Mike. a very pleasant experience

No una barbaridad de capacitación en el Ridgeway y los downs marlborough y normalmente recomiendo a la gente que está haciendo la caminata o el ciclismo o correr el ridgeway a llamar aquí.

Cenamos aquí después de un día de caminar el RIdgeway. Mi hijo adulto, pedimos la pasta con queso gorgonzola y salsa de tomate. Había un montón de tomate, no sólo, y literalmente gorgonzola sobre 5 de pasta forkfuls (este era el gran orden, no el tamaño aperitivo). No hace falta que diga que estaba todavía con hambre. Decidimos ir a él para pedir una segunda bowl - - pero la camarera dijo que no tenían más de pasta. La única comida vegetariana que ella podría ofrecer desde el menú era un risotto, que no atractivo. Así que nos brindó algunos de nuestros alimentos y arreglamos. Más tarde, me di cuenta de que era probablemente la sopa en el menú, él o ella podría haber ofrecido algo de pan, especialmente porque había un montón de salsa aún en su plato. Mi pescado y patatas fritas estaba bien pero no era especialmente buena. Otras mesas parecía estar bien, pero no había ningún interés en brindarnos una buena experiencia. (y sí, tuvimos nuestro paseo nos duchamos después de día! )

Dropped by to look for this place and think the map is out. It shows as Aldbourne but says Ogbourne St George. So maybe a few miles away from the pin?

Cuando dice, "Los caminantes de bienvenida", que significa. Gran ambiente, relajado, y genial después de un día de paseo. Los propietarios son muy agradables. Esta no es la primera que he estado aquí, he topamos con él un par de veces y nos alojamos hace...

Cena con amigos. Ambiente acogedor, buena selección de comida y servicio, bien presentado, raciones de tamaño decente. Muy complaciente con la provisión de que llegasen los cubiertos y vajilla y extra para compartir postres. La pieza de restistance es el bien en sí - 96...

Oímos que el pub estaba ahora haciendo llevar pescado y patatas fritas en viernes, así que pensamos en probar. La respuesta, fue magnífico. Como alguien que no normalmente como pasta, el pescado estaba hecho perfectamente con el bateador no demasiado gruesas y las patatas fritas también estaban bien, no grasienta. A un buen precio.

We stayed there during a business trip. A good value Inn with a simple menu of well cooked food and real ales to help relax.The room in an external annex was clean, comfy and the shower was great.Breakfast was exceptional so all in all a good value place

Visited after a walk with our dog. Reviews suggest the sandwiches are good but the hot menu is limited and poor quality. Soggy battered fish, full of bones with the skin on. Chicken pie congealed and served with cold nasty veg. They didn't ask how things were - I think they know - we won't be back.

very good place to rest during cycling route Swindon-Marlborough, fantastic Ramsbury beer and it's just in right distance!!!!!!!!

Walking part of the Ridgeway we dropped down into Ogbourne St. George for lunch and stopped at this the Inn. This is a classic British Pub but the food is excellent ( so is the beer and the hospitality).There ere good daily specials and excellent mains but I settled for the Phil Vickery sausage sandwich that came with old spot sausages, onions and mango chutney with fries. It was stunning, really tasty and literally the best sandwich ever. My friend had the leek and potato soup which was also very good. We shared a pot of coffee and half a shandy all for GBP 14 - this was excellent food, good price and friendly serviceThey were very welcoming to Walkers

Walking the Ridgeway we stayed and ate here on the first day of the walk.Both landlord and landlady were welcoming.The room was comfortable and clean and we had a nice meal in the pub after and the breakfast was nice too.All in all a very good choice just a bit of a walk from the Ridgeway which isn't their fault of course!

Located about 1 mile from the Ridgeway path, this friendly hotel, which as it's name suggests has an impressive glass covered well in the bar ,is a fine place to stay.Beer (real ale) quality and service were excellent, and the food was very good.The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed with plenty of space.

Nice little pub with the oddity of a well in the bar area. Excellent beer and decent food.Really enjoyed the aubergine and walnut bake. Puddings were of the solid rib-sticking variety which suited hungry walkers like us but others might find heavy.

This was our first night stopover when walking the Ridgeway LDFP and after a very damp afternoons walk from Avebury it was a godsend. We are 3 brothers all around 50 and shared the family room of 3 singles. Lots of radiators to dry wet gear and younger! brother used the hairdryer extensively to dry out damp boots. We entered the bar at around 6pm to find them preparing for a Titanic sinking evening that gave us a sinking feeling too thinking they would be rushed but actually everything was great. Food perfect, beer good, staff very friendly. Next day breakfast of eggs benadict was first class and they even made packed lunches for us. All up price of about £70 each for B'B evening meal packed lunch a beer. What more can you want. Oh they even put frozen yogurt and chocolates in the lunch!

Excellent reception and nice warm feel to this pub. Limited choice of meals and although the range of sandwiches sounded appetising they left a lot to be desired. I chose the venison pie without a lid, as to my mind, this is not a pie. I am sure when it had been cooked, the meat would have been very tender, though a microwave does it no credit. Nice selection of vegetables, shame the dish had a chipped edge. Mash reminded me of 'Smash' with added butter. Hubby's fish was very small compared to that which he enjoys at other establishments. Also 10 bones! Shame, as we were 97 miles from home and had avoided other inns, for one we had hoped to be a little bit different. Well actually it was, will not be recommending.

Stayed for 2 nights in October 2015 to finish walking the Ridgeway. Staff were very nice, food was excellent, rooms were clean and well furnished (tea/coffee/biscuits etc.). Great breakfast, very good evening meals (so good we decided to eat in again on the second night, when we also took part in a very lively Music quiz).

Excellent meal and good beer, with extremely pleasant and considerate service. A thoroughly enjoyable meal in a friendly pub atmosphere.

Its a few miles from city centre and around 2 miles form M4 junction. Quaint pub with outside area, nice feel with settees in bar area.Food was well cooked and average price, bar managers were attentive and efficient, no waiting for service or meal, good parking in pub or street.Interesting glass floor that looks down on their well, very pleasant evening with good food and drinks.

We came in here after our first day of the Ridgeway trail. The beer Piston Broke was excellent. The owners and locals were friendly as was the pub dog! We came in later for supper, the starter was delicious, we had the sharing plates. We did have to wait a long time for these, but we were apologised to several times. Three of us had the burger for our main and it was over cooked, dry and generally disappointing. The vegetable option however was very good. I would recommend it though, even only for the beer.

The reviews of this Inn on TA indicate that this place should be ok for dinner, or used to be. And it’s not. The service was quite chaotic. The curry I ordered first, was not available anymore, so I ordered a burger. My daughter got her lasagne, but no sign of the burger. I waited a few minutes and called the waitress. They just forgot my burger. “I’ll tell the kitchen there is a skeleton in the pub”. My burger arrived, finally. Two horrible pieces of super dry meet on a toasted bun as hard as a stone. The only good thing were the French fries. We weren’t the only table that got messed up. At the table next to us, there was also a mix-up with the orders followed by a big discussion.

If you are walking the Ridgeway, you may well find yourself eating here. It's a pleasant and relaxing place with a variety of food that is more interesting than the typical pub food. Service was a little frosty at first but warmed up. There is a rather charming dog who may say hello. We liked it!

I ate here one night whilst staying in the village for business and was thoroughly unimpressed. In fact it was one of the worst pub meals I can remember. The starter was a failed concoction trying to be fine dining of which I left most and the main was bland and dull. Would I recommend it go again? No and No! They did at least serve a decent ale which is one positive I suppose.

We stopped here for lunch as a group of motorcyclists. The service was good and quite quick.They have a good menu here but we only wanted quick snacks. Their sandwiches are 'naffely' named after TV chefs and are offered in a choice of breads. My Rick Stein smoked salmon with cream cheese was very nice but not special [very thick bread spoiled the effect] and my partner's Phil Vickery with sausage, onions and mango chutney was deemed just OK. Other offerings were the Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay the ingredients of which did NOT remind me of any of them. I don't know about this phrase 'pan fried' which seems to appear on every menu. How else would you cook a sausage?

If you want a traditional pub that serves decent beer, combined with really well cooked food, then look no further. The hosts are great too. We've been a couple of times, once for lunch with family and once on a Thursay night which is their curry evening. Can't fault the food, notably the battered fish and chips. The curries and poppadums were good, but the sag aloo was very soggy and not up to scratch. A small point as everything also was well cooked and presented.It is our local now, so we will be regulars.

We stayed here for one night whilst walking the Ridgeway to which it offers easy access. We were able to park at the Hotel whilst we did the walk, the evening meal was great, home cooked with good vegetarian options, the owners are really helpful, the rooms clean and with all you need after a long days walk, breakfast had varied options, was tasty and substantial, and perfect packed lunches were available to order as well.

Excellent service, and a friendly welcome await you at this pub. The presentation was really good and the food tasty - we were visiting as a group - always a challenge. The decor is a little overdone, and could be extra sharp if the number of pictures up was reduced, using just the large wildlife frameless close up as a dynamic focus, but everyone's taste is different!

Ate here for two nights when staying locally; received wonderful friendly service and really excellent good value food and wine. You will be surprised at the specials, highly recommended.

Had a wonderful weekend here - room was clean and spacious - comfortable bed and such am accommodating couple who run the b&b - nothing too much trouble.Had dinner in restaurant both evenings and had wonderful hot tasty food - reasonably priced.Little details made it special - I am a lover of wine and even the white wine glasses were chilled so that first glass was always fab! Mike (owner) took time to show meWhere the quick dog walks started and was welcoming to our Labrador. Nothing was too much trouble.Would totally recommend as a great base for the ridgeway walks.Very dog friendly.Great food.

Lovely food with vegetarian options. Very tasty and presented beautifully. Wonderful quality and lovely wine and drinks selection too.

We ate were we I stayed. Good hot food each time. Lovely breakfasts and dinner. Mike did most of the cooking. His minestrone soup was full of flavour and filling.

Ate here with family recently. The beer was good and the service from the staff was excellent. It's dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. The food was very good and served promptly. Overall a lovely family friendly pub. Would recommend.

Visited on Saturday lunchtime. had arranged for a group of walkers to eat here. pre ordered food. called 10 mins before we arrived. table was reserved for us.Beer was excellent with a good choice of local real ale.Food excellent. Real fire in winter. Note that it is not open all the time check for opening times. Especially on weekdays.

We stayed here for four nights and had dinner each night. Megan and Michael and there staff were most helpful and charming throughout. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the food was very nice. We all appreciated the fresh fruit salad at breakfast.

Despite arriving late having walked the first leg of the Ridgeway we were very well looked after. The rooms are clean spacious and comfortable and well set up for muddy boots. Supper was hearty, great for those with a good appetite, and breakfast was good too, especially the fresh fruit salad.The landlady was welcoming, very efficient and nothing was too much trouble if we asked for anything..... she even took one of the party who was having a day off from walking with her into Marlborough. Furthermore, after receiving a phone call next day about a lost prescription medicine, the landlady organised a thorough search and rang back within 10 minutes. Wonderful service...

We wanted to meet up with some old friends, while we were back in the UK, we chose this inn as my partner loves real ales, and as we live in Cyprus , we dont get many ales.we booked an over night stay, our rooms were very clean,warm, well equipped apart from the tiny travel hairdryer!!!!! Our friends arrived so we went into the bar, and there was a lovely log burner going, so we got comfy on the big sofas, the staff made us welcome, we booked a table for dinner, 3 had the stilton and cauliflower soup. which was thick and tasty, i had the game terrine and that was uumm, we all had steaks.....the steaks were cooked to our liking, it came with peas, tomatoes and sadly some really sad frozen fries, a choice of jkt, boiled or nice chunky chips would of been much better.....perhaps we are spoilt living in northern cyprus with the wonderful potatoes, never a a frozen chip in sight....we returned to the bar and enjoyed some more drinks, it was a friday night, but very quite. we had a good sleep in comfortable bed and enjoyed a very nice full english breakfast, along with, cereal,fresh fruit,toast and jams and marmalade's and as much tea and coffee as you wanted.

Visited the Inn with the Well on a Saturday evening for a meal. We had bad vibes as soon as we walked in – we were greeted by the unfriendly chef who had a dirty stained apron on. We entered the restaurant and only one other couple there and a couple of people at the bar next door. We were served by the owner (I was told the wife of the chef ). She was not particularly friendly and didn’t want to enter any conversation, apart from taking our order, more interested in getting back to the bar to talk to the locals.The food was disappointing and I guess all out of a freezer and no finesses what so ever. The other couple left and we were the only people in the restaurant until we left at about 8.30 pm. I wished we had followed our instincts and walked out after the encounter with the chef and seeing the place empty on a Saturday night. To be fair the meal was not that expensive. We had stayed in a few other places on our break where the meals were slightly dearer – but the quality more than justified the cost.The acid test – would we return – defiantly not – awful.
