"I stayed here a few weeks ago and have been dithering about whether to write an honest review, because the landlady/owner was so friendly and welcoming. But then I reminded myself that these reviews are for the benefit of prospective clients, not the owners, and I use them to make decisions about bookings so it was right that I should give an honest review. I booked a room for myself and my dog. The room was large but the whole room and bathroom smelt musty and damp. The bathroom had not been cleaned properly and there were hairs on the floor. There were bits of black mould around the base of the shower. The shower was fine and powerful enough. The bed was so hard I had to ask for a second duvet that I could lie on. I know this is subjective but I have never had this problem before. The garden was very unkempt and scruffy and I accept that there had been a summer of drought followed by lots of rain but didn't feel this was a good reason. I should, I know, have said something when I checked in, but the owner was so welcoming I felt too awkward to do so my fault. Even the hand held card reader was dirty and sticky and this should have confirmed my suspicions right from the start. The breakfast food was good, but spoiled by the dirty table which was very sticky. There were only two other people staying not the owners fault but it did feel awkward for me in such a massive dining area. The owner opened her gas bill whilst I was having breakfast and said it was £16k and she would have to shut over the winter period. Not something I needed to know and another reason why I did not feel comfortable in complaining. It was obvious that she was running the hotel, kitchen, dining area and bar alone whilst I was there. I had booked for four nights but in the end only stayed for two. I had a family crisis I needed to attend to, but I must say I was glad to leave, even though I wasted a great deal of money which the owner was unable to refund. I'm baffled by the extremely positive reviews which appear here, which are polar opposite to mine, but I write this as I experienced it."

Great pub. Great food. Front of house very attentive and the chef (Paul) also came and checked that everything was OK. Please note that they were intending to close from 24/10/22 until about mid February 2023 so, check their website. A great shame as we have only just discovered it!

I had a wonderful stay at this restaurant on a Saturday night. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern bathroom. The pub garden is beautiful, serving Ramsbury ales on tap. The dinner was good, but the highlight was the cozy open fire in the lounge. The owner, Stella, is friendly and efficient. The breakfast was also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The lady taking our orders was friendly, helpful, and efficient, contributing to the good, relaxed atmosphere. As someone who is gluten intolerant, I was impressed with how well I was catered for. We definitely plan on returning as it felt like we had stumbled upon a hidden gem. It's no surprise that the restaurant was so busy. My husband and I are already planning on staying there the next time we visit family in the area.

What a pub/restaurant! A picturesque quintessentially English pub in the lovely village of Hamstead Marshall where there is always a warm welcome from Stella and the team. Great food good choice across the menu and the Sunday roasts definitely rival The Woodspeen for taste and are great portion sizes. The decor is lovely in both the pub and the restaurant and the garden is a lovely place to unwind. They also brew some fabulous home made beers. Thoroughly recommended! Support your local pub/restaurant!

We were warmly welcomed to an almost empty bar (Highclere Prom night) and were disappointed by the reduced menu caused by staff holiday/shortages. Having accepted the situation, we were further disappointed by the food: the pork belly was not crisped, conversely the lasagna was, too much. Creme brulee much too runny. And do check the price of drinks before you cheerfully accept the offer of a 'summer size ' glass. Further disappointment finding the charge of £12.50 for 250ml of rather average Sauvignon Blanc. Won 't be returning.

My spouse and I, along with our Yorkiepoo, had a fantastic two-night stay at this restaurant. We received a warm welcome and exceptional service throughout our stay. Our furry companion was delighted with the treats and attention in the bar. The breakfast was delicious, especially the Eggs Benedict. The dinner options were plentiful and portions were generous. Our room was cozy, although we did encounter some difficulty with the security code, which was likely our own fault. There were lovely outdoor seating areas that we thoroughly enjoyed. The host, Stella, was wonderful and we look forward to returning in the future. Both us and our dog, Cooper, highly recommend this place.

Lovely off the beaten track country Pub with very comfortable rooms. Warm friendly welcome from the landlord Clint. Great beer on tap. All this I gained within 10 minutes of being there. I thought wow!, what a smashing place we chose to stay at. It got even better when we tasted the awesome food at dinner time ,OMG!, this wasn’t just ordinary food like one expects a pub to serve. This really was exquisite food. I’ve honestly never had a meal this delicious in a pub until now. If you’re anywhere near this place and thinking about eating come here. I promise you’ll not be disappointed . Breakfast too was amazing and all included in the very reasonable price of the room. The Uk is losing great...

I had originally booked with this hotel via Booking.com for a lovely trip to see Downton Abbey with my mum and sister we are huge fans and had worked hard to save for this trip. Unfortunately, one of us got Covid before the trip so I went online to Booking.com to cancel the booking or change the dates, there was 3 hours left to do so on the app so I rang Booking.com customer service and explained the situation. They assured me, because this was a covid matter that I would either get a full refund or be able to change the dates as I was within the allocated cancelation time, however, when they tried to ring the hotel they were not responding after multiple calls. When the hotel was not respon...
