We stayed here just after Easter as one of our stopovers when walking the Ridgeway. Walkers will be pleased to know the twin room we stayed in had a great bath with very hot water to ease those aching limbs. I was a bit worried the traffic noise from the A34 would detract from things, but it was barely noticeable... More

We stopped here for lunch, prompted by their well-placed roadside sign on the A34. Just south of Oxford, it's an ideal place to break the journey from the North-West to Southampton / Portsmouth. Only 3 minutes off the trunk road, it's in an attractive village with a village green and duckpond for a dog walk and leg stretch and we... More

The building is old and the rooms are quirky. The window let in a very cold draught and the bed was very hard. The plumbing had a mind of its own but the shower delivered a very good jet. The bathroom was extremely clean. The food is very good. Dinner and breakfast were very well cooked and plentiful. The staff... More

We arrived off the Ridgeway on a cycling trip covered in mud, but were warmly welcomed by the bar staff and Landlord who allowed us to hose down our bikes and then secured them away in a garage overnight. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the evening meal, drinks and breakfast all extremely good, and it was no trouble... More

My friend and I stayed here on day 2 of our holiday walking The Ridgeway. Having experienced filthy, overpriced accommodation the previous day, we were filled with some trepitation. However, we need not have been concerned. We were shown straight to our room which was clean, modern and comfortable with a newly refitted bathroom. unfortunately there was no hot water... More

found this place four years ago, and have been coming back regularly. This is the ideal place for anybody working local or just passing through. The only time I will stay anywhere else in the area is if they are full. Comfortable rooms, good food and a friendly enviroment. Can't ask for any more. More
