Great breakfast. Easy parking.

Very clean, great bedroom and bed sadly let down by the bathroom. Gap under door made it pointless being there and nowhere to put anything down, a tooth mug on wall would have helped. Overall good for short stays only. Breakfast and staff were superb.

Excellent 1 night stay

Lots of good details and home made stuff. Bed good, shower amazing. Food was a highlight. The room (at the back) was not very soundproof - so could hear most of neighbours convos.

Perfect!

Picture-perfect, cozy, welcoming, with friendly staff, excellent breakfasts and great beers - we spent a lovely couple of days here. Nice touches like fresh milk for your room if you'd like to make your own coffee in the morning. And the village shop is right next door if you need anything.

My daughters and I stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved the property. It was so quiet and had a lovely country feel. The restaurant was excellent, some of the best food we had while we were in England. Our breakfast was included in the stay and it was also excellent. We have such fond memories of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin past the potting shed in a rural gastro-pub setting. Set well enough away from the main premises that you don't feel overlooked or disturbed. Staff were lovely, great location, food was also very good (although I'd avoid the vegan dessert if I went again). Bathroom facilities in-line with the tiny-home aesthetic - bear this in mind if you intend to spend a lot of time in the bath, I suppose? Would go again!

Relaxing and secluded, under scrutiny of staff

I stayed in a log cabin at the back of the Inn's garden. It was both private and very comfortable. Including kitchen facilities and a smart TV with Netflix and Prime Video etc. There was also a nice little porch area with a view of the fields behind the property. The Inn itself is a beautiful old cottage with a large picturesque garden. My only complaint would be the unrequested wakeup calls. I booked with breakfast included, the staff thought they would helpfully bang on my window periodically as a reminder it was available. I had been out late the night before and had intended to sleep in. So this wasn't welcome. On check-out day, I was just finishing up in the shower to make my way over 30 mins before breakfast and check-out was supposed to end and someone entered my room / cabin. Just to see if I wanted breakfast. Personally I don't like to be disturbed unless necessary. There was a phone in the cabin, so if they were anxious about checkout and really wanted to get hold of me they could have tried calling first. That being said, this didn't bother me too much but I felt it worth mentioning as I have never had this at any other place I've stayed.

A gem of a hotel

An absolutely spectacular in. Jackie and her team were fantastic and took such good care of us. The food was also exceptional. I would highly recommend this venue for any one who wants to have a great time in the Wiltshire area. On top of all of that, the bus into the town of Bath stops right across the street from this hotel. Five stars if I could give more, I would.

Bit of a disappointment

No windows made for uncomfortable sleeping ground floor bedroom, plus heating constantly on in bathroom. No bedside lamp in upper floor room very dangerous negotiating getting out of bed and down the steps and stairs during the night. Room advertised with garden/courtyard area, this area unkempt no weeding done seating was rusty and undesirable to use this area. Booked a specific table for evening meal, staff had no record of this so table had to be got ready, we ordered our meals(5 in total) one meal didn’t arrive until the rest of us finished. Upon check out the overall bill showed a £33 service fee!!! Which I did not pay any tips/gratuities should be optional AND NOT added to the bill.

Beautiful, old, character-full inn with excellent dining. The grounds / garden are lovely for a stroll or for sitting out with a drink. The garden room (family room) was great for our needs with two young children. All very clean and thoughtfully decorated, charming style. Breakfast and dinner all great. Rural area, great base for exploring surrounding areas.

Little Gem that just need a little improving.

The hotel is situated in a very quiet village which is convenient for Bath. The hotel looks fabulous and the grounds are lovely especially at night when lit giving a lovely ambience. Our room was was of ample size for two with a large comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom. The hotel would be perfect except for a few small details. We were greeted and shown the way to our room but felt it wasn’t the warmest of greeting and was let down by no initial explanation of the facilities in the room. It took me to the next day how to work the bedside lamps. Breakfast on the first night was great with an attentive waitress and wore a mask but sadly on day two the Mask was missing which in today’s climate was concerning. Breakfast has limited options for vegetarians and I really feel that a full English with vegetarian alternatives for sausages and bacon aren’t a lot to ask for in a modern world.

Pretty Good Overall.

A very nice pub, restaurant and rooms for the night weekend venue. The food was 'pretty good' but service was sometimes a little long in the waiting for. The food was generally very good but more attention to details please Inn Keepers, as the toast offered with the Charcuterie board was 'definitely dead'. When mentioned, a polite apology was offered but zero reduction to the bill was offered. Our bathroom in 'Comice' was very small and the bath very high to climb into which is required as it is bath / shower combo.
