Very comfortable stay

Lovely pub accommodation. Good location for our trip - quick access from M4 Hungerford junction. . Comfortable bed. Well appointed bathroom. Communal tea making in a lobby - but worked fine. Only slight downside was breakfast - no toast offered with full English. When requested we were charged £4.20, a bit steep for a couple of slices. Maybe review that slight parsimony mamagement?

Lovely country pub

Although the room was compact it was very clean with lots of nice touches. Good value. The bed could do with a mattress topper. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional. Tasty, plentiful and nicely presented. Easy parking. Lots of country walks on the doorstep
