Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right by a road junction, making it easy to reach various places. The rooms are equipped with good facilities and even include breakfast. The service, though, could use a bit of improvement. While the location is practical, some refurbishment might benefit the overall experience. Dining options are included, but not extensive.
The hotel sits at a road junction, and while it could use some refurbishment, I would happily stay there again. The rooms are comfortable and come with good facilities, but breakfast could be included. The service is satisfactory, with housekeeping being attentive and a nice welcome drink. The restaurant offers French products, and the dining experience is decent. The facilities are adequate for a pleasant stay at this hotel.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel located conveniently close to Highclere Castle. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, making my stay comfortable. The service was impeccable with attentive housekeeping and a nice welcome drink. The dining experience, although delicious with yummy Pork Belly, could offer more variety. The facilities were great, and I particularly enjoyed the included breakfast.
