    Superb from checking in to checking out. Room excellent, bed extremely comfy and a shower to die for. There was even a complimentary sloe gin for guests. Breakfast was excellent, from cereals to juice, continental to full English, best poached egg I have had for ages. Also had an evening meal. Lovely food and if its on the menu try the scotch egg for the starter, absolutely amazing.

    Everything is to a very high standard here, rooms, food and service. The one thing I would note as a drawback was the size of the bedroom, and shower room and the size of the breakfast (thankfully I was on a cut) normally I'd have 4 times the amount. But there is a continental also with a good selection. I just found myself fighting for a glass both mornings but not for long. I didn't pay full price for my king room so I thought it was great value, but if I had then I would have felt a bit robbed as the stable rooms are for tiny people. 2 of you couldn't share the washroom space. Opt for the bigger room if your staying here they do offer plenty of choice at slightly more money but I think it's worth it. Great selection of wines. Some more Bordeaux options on the menu would be preferable, but the range as it was was excellent. I would recommend and would return. The area doesn't have much in walking distance. Few small fields to take your dogs but short drive to highclere castle and plenty of other woods which are fantastic for your fury friends. And this lovely place does accept dogs. Nearly every other person I saw staying had one.

    Had a lovely birthday dinner here last weekend. The food was delicious with an excellent range on the menu. The service was top notch. Our waitress was outstanding and the manager dealt with a question about a birthday email offer with absolute above and beyond customer service. My in-laws live locally, within walking distance, and this was their first time dining here. Absolutely recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
