Great place great staff, great weekend 😁

A lovely quaint 15th century pub - restaurant with rooms located in a historic village nestled among the downs. Convenient for Newbury, M4, M3 and 55mins from Portsmouth. We had a a warm welcome from staff and our standard room was a good size as was the bathroom. Our room was quiet and on the ground floor with windows looking onto the immaculate chef's vegetable garden. We were invited to try the sloe gin left for us in our room and we were introduced to the upstairs guest lounge which is a beautiful space with comfortable sofas, reading materials and games and equipped with whisky for guests to sip. The pub was lively with locals. There is an outside terrace and there is a good selection of drinks available. The restaurant was calm and there is a varied menu where local ingredients are featured. Breakfast, served in the restaurant was tip-top. Plenty of choice of cooked and cold mains with a buffet of juices, cereals, fruits, breads, croissants and accompaniments.

The room was spacious with a big bathroom, and access to a shared living room was an extra bonus. All of the staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great.

Very busy, definitely worth booking for your meal, the food was more Gastro Pub than normal but lovely none the less. Great staff. Quirky and old building with sloping floors. Very nice bed in the bedroom. Only slight downside is you can hear the bar etc downstairs until they close but if you are not an early to bed type of person its fine. VERY little parking onsite but there is other parking in the village.

The food was excellent - both breakfast and evening meal. Full fresh cooked breakfast included in the cost of the room. Proper Americano coffee served at no extra cost with breakfast! I had a glass of champagne with the evening meal and it was chilled, bubbly and perfect.

We were delayed to 9pm and were unable to get through on the phone to let the pub know, however, check in was OK when we got there. The room was very cold on arrival but warmed up in an hour after the heater was turned on. It's a lovely pub and the room was nice, however, our room (called "Cannon", a premier room) was right over the bar, very noisy in the evening, and again in the morning with a very early delivery of clanking beer barrells. Ask for a quiet room!!

Great dog friendly room & bar, As well as fab restaurant

Room was spotless. Lots of nice little touches. Highly recommend

Really nice venue.

Nice property, competitively priced, comfortable beds, great food. Would certainly return. Pillows poor and no tissues in the room, otherwise all was good
