Location was convenient for work. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Good quality breakfast

Uncomfortable bed. Tired decor. Road noise, lack of curtains and no air-con meant poor nights sleep

Very nice pub. We were pleased with our rooms. They were larger than we expected. Had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was excellent. Will stay here again when we come to visit friends in nearby Ludgershall.

All was great.
