The location provides convenient access! There is ample free parking just outside. The bedroom featured clean amenities and very comfortable beds. The attractive bathroom added to the appeal. Breakfast was also very satisfying.
An extra toilet roll would have been handy and I noticed cups weren't replaced. I think that would have made it perfect.

The parking area offered ample free space. I enjoyed a tasty evening meal, and breakfast included several choices. The bedroom provided comfortable beds and an attractive bathroom. I found the location convenient for visiting Highclere Castle.
My room facing the sun had a fan that did not work, made the space uncomfortable.
