Positive: Having stayed here on several occasions, we knew what to expect, although the pub had been taken over by Phil and John only days before we arrived. The pub, as far as location goes, is on it's own, but close to Malmesbury. As long as you have transport, you are fine. When we arrived, the pub was very busy with locals who were there to watch the rugby. Neverless, we were greeted by a really friendly young barman and then by John (the co-owner), who served us. We were then checked in by Phil. The pub itself is still the same as it was when we first started staying here approximately five years ago, and this is part of it's charm. We ate here on our first evening, and the food was really good, in fact, better than the last time we stayed, when we felt that the standard of food had gone down. After speaking with Phil, we shared our thoughts regarding the menu. The menu is limited, but, saying this, what is on there is of really good quality and standard, pub grub, but on another level. I wouldn't change a thing on it! Phil mentioned that they may do a specials board at some point, which seems like a good idea. Breakfast was good, although we weren't given a menu. I'm sure that in time, there will be one. We had a good chat with Phil and John, who, as I said, had only taken over the pub a few days before we arrived and had hit the ground running. I think they will do really well. They are two very genuine guys and I'm sure that they will make a real success of the pub. Well done and we wish you all the best for the future. We will return!
Negative: The rooms are adequate, clean and tidy, but have not been refurbished since our first stay, approximately five years ago. The bathroom definitely needs a re-fit, but I'm sure this is something that the new owners, Phil and John will consider as time goes on.
Summary: Great stay. Thank you Phil and John. We will return!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property is a very traditional pub with modern elements. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. You had fresh milk in the handy fridge and proper coffee for the cafetière too! We ate at the pub both nights and the food was delicious! The people are absolutely lovely and nothing is too much trouble. We were unfortunately horribly ill with colds when we stayed and they made sure we had everything we needed and that the cleaning was completed in the short time we left the room. We’d definitely stay again and look forward to finding other pubs that are under the same brand.
Negative: Not so much that we didn’t like it but the stairs are steep and narrow (we were in the Avon suite at the very top). The velux window and blind in our bathroom really needs replacing as the blind is mouldy in places and a bit broken. The paint is peeling on the window.
Summary: A wonderful comfortable stay!
