Pleasant bar/restaurant with good dinners and excellent breakfast. Pleasant and efficient staff. Very old building with lots of character - we even had a four poster bed. Good car parking and close to Ridgeway for walking and A34 for driving.

A very friendly pub with rooms. Richard the Manager/landlord was very helpful and knowledgable about the Ridgeway Lovely lasagne Very comfy beds Good value for money

Susan, United Kingdom

Old well decorated village pub with rooms that were clean and tidy if a little small but then the price was very good so excellent value. Didn't have dinner but included full English breakfast was up there with the best with quality bacon and sausages plus crisply fried bread and choice of egg styles. Tea in pots (so often not the case now) another plus point. Plenty of easy parking as well. Would stay again when visiting the area.

Nothing really. We could have gone elsewhere and paid more to get bigger room/bathroom but this suited our requirements perfectly. We've paid similar for pub accommodation in the past that has been far inferior.

Hotel was a little dated. Room was uncomfortably warm and staff offered no solution to the problem.
Was visiting my son in nearby Chilton so the location was good.
