The location - it is the only place to stay in Downton for a couple of nights. Ample parking. A very comfortable, attractive and clean room, which was at the back of the property and free of traffic noise

While fully understanding that the breakfast was intended to be modest, we did wonder whether the modesty had gone a bit too far. The offering consisted of a selection of cereals and baked goods only, with no yogurt, juice or fruit except for two bananas (all right if you like bananas, of course!). Strangely, on the tables were containers with vinegar and sauces, but there was nothing to go with them! But the value for money overall was very good, so we contented ourselves with importing a few additions to make the breakfast on day 2 more palatable. And then we left for a nice coffee in the café in the middle of Downton!

The property was great with a lovely atmosphere! The staff and their hospitality was incredible and the breakfast was amazing! They could not do enough for us after a full day of travelling and we appreciate all their hard work.

Beware that booking.com do not send the room that you booked on their website over to the hotel and only give details of what is required, subsequently the room you book is not what is received through no fault of the hotel. It left the hotel manager and us scrambling to sort a room at 10pm at night with a young disabled child.

A fabulous hotel in a great location. We stayed in the deluxe double room, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the en-suite bathroom had a shower and bath. The shower was hot and had plenty of pressure. A basic breakfast of ceral, toast or croissant was included but you could order a full English if you wanted. The sausages were from a local farm shope and were very tasty. The pub had a music night booked which we were made aware of but the music stopped at 11 and was not loud enough to stop you sleeping. Staff were very helpful, friendly and informative. I booked through Booking.com and they double booked us. Luckily it was sorted straight away but next time I will contact the venue myself to confirm.

We stayed in the apartment situated in the back of the hotel, big and comfortable, best night's sleep in ages, very pleasant young man signed us in and served breakfast the next morning. Breakfast was really nice, (12inch sausage was just delicious) has improved greatly from my last visit a few years ago. Would recommend.

Really lovely rooms, parking, great and friendly staff, everything we needed and loved the style of our rooms.

Rooms beautiful, bathroom clean and functional but maybe a little lacking compared to the rooms - having said that it provided everything we needed. Pub wasn’t serving food (it was a very quiet week night) but we’re happy to recommend another local pub that was delicious.

Friendly and Helpful Staff. Breakfast was delicious only "criticism" is Baked Beans in their own pot stay very hot! More of it would have been even better but then I do like a Big Breakfast to set me up for the day! ;-)

Silly little niggle but to unlock my room (Room1) you turned the Key one complete revolution in the lock! However to successfully get it to lock when leaving the room 2 complete revolutions were required! Good job I always check! ;-)

The location of the hotel between Salisbury and Bournemouth is ideal. The staff were great and the food and drink were out of this world. Even though you are on a main road you can't hear much noise from it in the garden or rooms. A lovely place to stay

Nostalga as i used the pub for 34 years before i left the area 18 years ago.

The breakfast was below par...marmalade jar (off the shop shelf) empty first morning staff informed...same empty jar the next morning....come on..offer a full breakfast.

Nice old building with lots of character. The couple running the pub/hotel were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food we had from the restaurant was home cooked and good value for money. The other bonus was the electric car charging points in the car park.

There wasn't anything to dislike if I'm perfectly honest. It's an old listed building so we knew what to expect.

10/10 stay! Perfect for a family travelling with a four legged pal. The staff and locals make you truly feel at home and the passion of the owners shines through throughout. The rooms have recently been refurbished with a huge king size bed and lovely amenities. The shining star is the local food at the pub, the local produce is amazing and you feel like you're really investing in the local area. There's also an amazing farm shop vending machine outside with local milk, such a clever idea! We'll be back.

Nothing!
