Positive: Perfect location to hyclere castle. Beautiful hotel with lovely features. Spotless clean room with great facilities. Great food and staff very friendly and accommodating. The bed was really comfy. The room was very hot on an extremely hot day and a fan was provided which was very thoughtful and welcoming.

Negative: I was in room 119 alone and felt a bit vulnerable because there was an unknown car parked right outside my window. I did draw the blind for privacy. The shower tray was very slippery.

Summary: Lovely hotel in a perfect location

Positive: A lovely traditional country pub with great rooms on the ground floor. Very nicely appointed although a hook in the shower room would have been handy. The toiletries were great and available to buy as were a good selection of drinks in the fridge and snacks on the table. Bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet with no noise from the A34 behind the hotel Choice at breakfast was good. The whole place looked so lovely with many flowers decorating it. Really pretty. Lots of parking. Would be very happy to go again.

Negative: The Wi-Fi was only average but better than nothing.

Summary: A super one night stay
