Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were newly refurbished, comfortable, and had a large walk-in shower. The courtyard setting was perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink. The service was excellent, and the location, though tucked away, offered scenic walks and a quiet atmosphere. The dining experience was uninspiring, but the facilities were great.
What a delightful stay! The hotel is nestled in a lovely quiet rural location, making it a peaceful spot yet within easy access of lots of interesting places to explore. The rooms are usually very comfortable and quiet at night, ensuring a very restful sleep. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff and a warm welcome. However, the initial check-in experience lacked warmth. The dining experience was top-notch, with down-to-earth service making it special. A bit of a downside is the somewhat lengthy wait for food. Overall, a great value for a tranquil getaway.
The hotel offers stylish, clean, and very quiet rooms with friendly staff. However, a potential safety issue exists as rooms are on the ground floor and not secure at night. The location is peaceful and close to attractions like Hungerford and Highclere Castle, but the room facilities could be improved. Dining options are good but have room for enhancement.
The hotel offers clean, boutique rooms with first-class comfort in lovely garden surroundings. The extremely comfortable enormous bed ensures a great night's sleep, but the fairly remote location might not suit everyone's preferences.
