Historic property in the centre of Marlborough. Very convenient for the town and a good base to explore the local area. Food was good and staff helpful although they were busy. Room was well equipped and only thought was that it was looking a bit tired decor wise. Very comfy bed so no complaints. Would definitely stay again.

This inn is old and rooms, while clean, comfortable, and very serviceable, are tired and could use some updating. The staff was very helpful with luggage, etc. I’ll certainly visit again.
