Excellent stay
Excellent accommodation. The room 'Bigwig' was large, comfortable with a spacious ensuite. Clean and well decorated. The pub did lovely food both day, evening and breakfast. We were made to feel very welome and the service was really good. Would definitely visit again and wish the guys the best of luck in their new endeavour.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent accommodation 5 minutes from Highclere Castle, free breakfast was amazing and the food on offer from the restaurant topped the one night stay. Accomodation is not attached to the pub but a walk across the car park, room’s three doors are in need of a joiner’s attention as they need easing to stop them catching on the floor but is adequate for a reasonably priced room

8/10 Very good

It is a great country/cottage style accommodation. Don’t expect high end rooms, some details needs to be looked after, but that is part of the experience for me.

Family trip to Highclere.
Booked this plqce as it's close to Highclere Castle. Check in was quick and easy. Room was nice although the mattress was a bit hard for me. Good Wi-Fi. Some nice snavlcks in the room. Booked a table for dinner and the food and service were excellent. Fair nights sleep. Breakfast is included and again cooked fresh and was great. Checked out and headed to Downtown Abbey.

2 Nights Stay
The queen bed was made from 2 twin mattresses which were rather stiff. Our sleep wasn't the best. The shower had some mold on the caulking. The food and service in their restaurant was excellent. Also, the staff was very friendly. Walking to Highclere Castle, even though fairly close, is not recommended.

Disturbed nights sleep.
Our room was pleasant but small. Other guests upstairs seemed to clomp around all night. No joists between floor and our ceiling. I didn’t sleep well but my husband did. Excellent breakfast. Annoying it was last orders at eight in the bar but the bar staff and the chef were great.
PATRICK, 1-night trip

Swift and efficient check in. Very pleasant well appointed en suite room. Super selection of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. First class breakfast selection next morning.

Carpenters Arms is a perfect pub next to Highclere
Stayed two nights for a long weekend, perched on the edge of Highclere Castle for our visit. Quite close to the A34, but even though our room was on that side we had no traffic noise. Nice little room upstairs in the cottage next door. Breakfast was included and that was excellent. Also had two evening meals, sample photos attached. Chef is very talented. Would happily return.
