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

Super cute and quaint place to stay near Highclere Castle. I am quite picky about where I stay and had reservations about this place before we arrived. They exceeded my expectations. Adorable room, very clean, and the included breakfast was wonderful. We were a 3 minute drive to our destination. We enjoyed dinner and drinks at the restaurant/pub the day before. The staff were so friendly cheerful, and fun. I brought my teenage kids and they really enjoyed it as well. That is really saying something!(Thank you to the wait staff! We now call our daughter "Naughty Taylor", using an English accent of course. I highly recommend staying here if you are wanting to enjoy the Downton Abbey experience at Highclere. We did not have our dog with us on this trip, but a few other families did. They are very pet friendly.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Liked: The nice room and en-suite; nice snacks included. Didn't like: There was a problem with something in the room directly overhead that was causing an extremely loud, motor-type noise that woke me up very late at night and lasted for a long time, after which getting back to sleep was impossible. It was reported, but no-one seemed to know what to do about it. The towel rail in the bathroom was dangerously hot and you had to be careful not to get burnt. The menu in the restaurant was very limited. If you are vegan or vegetarian, give it a miss unless you don't mind the only option available, which was a burger (predictably!). My husband ordered the gammon and ended up leaving it as it was horrendous, even the eggs weren't at all nice. The bacon, sausage and eggs in the full english breakfast were so unpleasant, my husband had the vegan option on the second morning, which was more palatable. Incidentally, if you want cereal as well as a cooked breakfast, make sure to tell the waiting staff that you want the cereal before the hot food is served, otherwise they will assume you want it all served up at the same time!!

The staff was fabulous! They were kind and helpful, got us extra blankets and just went above and beyond to help our stay be good. The food at the restaurant was very good and there were snacks and hot chocolate in our room which we really appreciated! The shower/bathroom was good and we would have given this location 6 stars if possible (I rarely give more than 4 stars) but the bed was not good. There was a huge dip all the way across the mattress about in the middle and we couldn't sleep. If they could replace the mattress I would change my stars to 5 and encourage everyone to go there. It was really great!

Disgusting ,Terrible and Uncomfortable
The room was basic with damp on the walls ,the bed extremely uncomfortable ,no heating and had to ask 3 times for the radiator to be turned on which they couldn’t do, the floor above was so badly insulated that you could hear everything in the room above ,the hotel did not provide fresh towels or make up service the following day ,no food available in the evening …which for a pub is strange ….a terrible place …avoid at all costs and find something else

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.
