    Easy access with parking available right on the side of the Ibex inn We had a great afternoon on the big terrace/lawn behind the pub. Very relaxed. Friendly staff.

    Sofa bed for one, was bloody uncomfortable , needs replacing. Upstairs windows under eaves had no blinds , so dog was a pain as soon as it was light, wanted to play at 4am. Apart from that, superb.

    Modern, new, spacious, lovely electric log fire, great lighting throughout, big TV, downstairs toilet handy, little garden for dog to go out handy, plenty of tea, coffee, milk. Opposite lovely character pub which did amazingly good breakfast. Big bedroom upstairs with lovely bathroom.

    Just a great location, a great pub, a great room for a good sleep, good facilities, a good breakfast, and very worth diverting off the M4 for the night.

    Room was quite hot. There was a fan, but there is no aircon and the window doesn’t open wide. Hot water in the shower took a while to come through. Both of these were not a problem.

    Everything was amazing. Food was very good. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Friends from Newbury met us at the Ibex for dinner and will also return. Ibex is 15 km from Newbury Centre. Countryside is very beautiful, but transport is essential. Loved every minute. Restaurant and pub on the premises makes the Ibex a superb place to stay.

    It was a little noisy on one of our nights which was a Saturday and the pub below was having a little celebration. It didn't spoil anything though and the next night was very quiet.

    We loved this place. It's cosy and roomy and very clean. Comfy beds and fantastic staff. The breakfast is included and excellent.

    If we didn't like anything, that was us just being picky. Really, it's a great location and fantastic pub with atmosphere and service to compliment.

    Great staff, excellent evening meal and breakfast. Room was good and spacious. Definitely a lovely local pub to return to in the future. Thanks.

    There is almost nothing to fault. The cottage would benefit from hooks in the front hall (we had nowhere to hang our coats), and it could do with more than two coffee mugs in the kitchen. But these were very minor points, and did not detract from an excellent stay.

    We had a wonderful stay. We rented the small cottage opposite the pub. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and full of character. Breakfast each morning was exceptional - one of the best cooked breakfasts we've ever had. The pub is dog-friendly, and has a resident dog, which we all loved, especially our children. The staff were friendly and helpful. We explored the village, and also several neighbouring villages, all of which were delightful. We will definitely return.

    The area is poor in sightseeing options; there’s nothing nearby to visit. In the kitchen, the cabinets were somewhat dirty, as well as under the bed in the bedroom.

    If you want to take a break from civilization, this place meets all the requirements. The pub serves delicious food (dinner + breakfast).
