We chose this property based on its proximity to Highclere Castle. We knew we would have some difficulty on the stairs to our room with our luggage. We suspected we weren't going to get washcloths with our linens. All of these things are expected challenges with traveling. My washcloth disappeared with our towels, a very understandable occurrence since it was white terrycloth, like the towels and probably picked up with the towels for laundering. Still, I wish I had not lost it. We use washcloths in the US. We enjoyed our dinner.

This is a charming, family-run inn near Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey). The accommodations were comfortable although simple, and the pub is fantastic, with really excellent food. The service by the family that owns th Inn and their employees is very good. The prices are reasonable, and the locals are friendly. The garden is very pretty also. No complaints, would stay again. The tomato soup and goat cheese salad were standouts.

We stayed at the Furze Bush Inn to be close to our tour at Highclere Castle. The place is an authentic English County Inn, surrounded by greenery and space. There is a great pub in the front and a great restaurant for dinner. The staff is completely accommodating It’s a beautiful old inn and a charming experience!

Cozy hotel

A nice hotel in a rural area. You probably need a car to visit places around. The service was very good and the staff were really helpful. There were few alternatives for breakfast, but the traditional English breakfast was good. The room was quite clean but some dust.
