A story book stay!

This was a charming pub and inn. The rooms are small but cozy, very clean, and very comfortable. It felt like staying in a story book English inn and we loved it! We stayed there to tour Highclere Castle and the Bombay Sapphire distillery, and it was well-located for both. There is good, free parking and a nice breakfast.
