Great staff, location and a lovey pub with very comfortable rooms/ The food and drink was excellent with a lovely outdoor space to watch the locals (including a donkey) go by. Recommend the local fresh milkshake dispenser and farm shop. We will be back.

    Bedroom was a decent size and the bed was very comfy. The evening meals were very good. We were cycling on the Wiltshire Cycle Way so this was a perfect place to stay en route. Peaceful and quiet location with a village shop nearby for provisions.

    Lovely pub in a pretty village. we stopped overnight to break up our journey and this was the perfect place! Friendly staff and locals, food was classic pub food done well, room was large enough for us & our 2 labs and breakfast was lovely (veggie sausages for me even though wasn’t an option on menu). Rooms are on ground floor and the beer garden is over the road which is good when you have dogs. Would recommend and would stay again if in the vacinity. Thank you

    Very friendly staff who were at pains to help make our stay - with our dog - as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. It’s a busy village pub but the locals are as friendly as the staff, and it was never noisy. They have a good menu and great craft beers too, plus a clean and comfortable room. The location is stunning too, and the local area has plenty to do no matter what the weather.

    Pleasant countryside and nature reserve. Small village with church, village hall and school. There was a sign to a village shop but I could not find it. The river running through the village and underneath the inn is exceptionally clean and crystal clear. There was no litter or graffiti anywhere. The people I met were friendly.
