It’s close to Larmer Tree Gardens.
The room was nicely decorated, it felt in keeping with the building and whilst it felt nicely cosy, we had plenty of space.
Having a flask of cold milk left outside our door was a nice thoughtful touch.
Breakfast was lovely and some of the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had!
The staff were very friendly and efficient.

The inn is off the beaten track and was chosen by us as a base for walking the downs of South Wiltshire; with excellent walks from the doorstep and dozens more a short drive from our base. The staff were particularly friendly; the cooked breakfast, using local produce, a well prepared treat. Although very much a “pub with rooms” rather than a hotel, this was little hardship as the dining/bar area was a charming place to relax (serving Butcombe’s great range of ales) and was by no means noisy when it came to bed.
Nothing major to report.

Small steak was expensive!

The setting, staff and food were all delightful
The shower in the room was hot as kettle water and wouldn't adjust. The wet room style doesn't work well in such a small room, resulting in you having to walk on a wet floor to use the toilet or basin after the shower use.

The room was a pleasant size,
Location was great for Larmer Tree Gardens and King John House.
The bed was Comfortable.
The room was tired and needed a little T.L.C.
The lighting was insuffient in certain areas i.e, kettle in wardrobe.
Two of the curtains were hanging off their runners.
Although contacted before regarding changing facilities, we were given the public toilets to change in. Had we known we would have changed venues.
