1 night business stay
It’s a decent bed and room, and is value for the cost, you can’t expect more for the price
Girls in the pub/restaurant where really friendly
I stayed here for work in the area. Accomodation is clean and staff were friendly.
Has a good selection of food and drink. I had the best fish and chips here ive had in quite a while but the menu is large enough t cover pub grub or a good steak or curry.
I liked it here and would stat again no issue.
It was a great stop for us in our walk in the area . Staff very kind and friendly , food tasty (we had the homemade curry ) . Drinks were also good we had a draught beer and cider. It’s lovely to find people taking on a business and improving it . We didn’t use it but there is a large car park and garden at the rear

A bit dated but a lovely stay apart from that. Gets a bit noisy due to being so close to the road and railway, and single-glazing does not help much. However, rooms were lovely and comfy, and nicely decorated. Enjoyed watching films on TV in the evening from my cosy bed.
When first arrived the room was freezing cold window cracked in the bedroom mould in the bathroom mould in the shower food was not very good the pathway to the back of the pub was dark no lights and was not very inviting the heating made load knocking noise es all night had to ask for toilet roll booked 2 nights only stayed 1 night couldn’t stay another night
Warm welcome from Dilip, took me to where the room was early, as I was on business and did not know what time I would be back that night, showed me everything. Very nice guy. Very good ,freshly cooked breakfast. Superb freshly cooked Chicken Korahi curry with home made naan etc. Totally delicious. Room was fresh, hughe king size bed, TV. Shower and bath. Quiet, comfortable and I enjoyed the hospitality of the bar too. Met Dilips business partner, another fine guy.
There is renovation to the property going on and it will soon look a lotbetter from outside,once the stripped out debris goes from the carpark, but thatis cosmetic. Would stay again. Highlight being HOT, not lukewarm water, as in many establishments. Excellent value for the money. Will be back!

In need of a makeover…
I stayed here with my 2 daughters and partner for 2 nights so that we could travel to longleat for a little family trip.
The room was decent size and my children really enjoyed the novelty of sharing a bunk bed.
The carpet looked like it hadn't been hoovered before we arrived though as there was crumbs of food on the floor.
The window in our room didn’t shut at all! And had cling film or some sort of plastic film over the glass which I assume was to keep the heat in. Although it was July, it was pouring with rain on our visit so had a draft and the wind made the blind bash against the radiator all night.
Also the main road outside our window was ridiculous, cars speeding up and down it all hours of the night so loudly. We kept getting woken up which was frustrating.
There was no hand soap in the bathroom either which isn’t great for cleanliness, especially when you have young children who pick up germs from everywhere.
The shower head kept falling off so you have to keep holding the head and rinse yourself off which was just annoying.
The staff were friendly, but when I went down on the Tuesday to ask if they were serving lunch, they said they said they don’t serve lunch specifically on a Tuesday which I thought was odd??
The place definitely needs a revamp (as stated in other people’s reviews) and also our ceiling light was hanging off and checked plug in the wall by the kettle looked like it was about to come out the wall!
Wouldn’t stay again.
It had closed down a month ago and. we were notified so when we arrived were told the there was no rooms available. we were very disappointed and had to look for alternate accommdation. We now want a refund.
Large room with a bunk bed for children, the bathroom is fine, but a table and a couple of chairs are missing in the room. The curtains do not block the light, every car that passes by on the road is noticeable. family friendly place close to Salisbury.
We arrived about 22.15 and was greeted by our host , she showed us up to our room and gave us information about the stairs and door lock for diwnstairs. There were drinks and buscuits available in the room. It was a good sized room and bathroom, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds.

Quaint small hotel above a pub was nice. The room had been remodeled but certain items were still needing upgrading; old leaky windows, bathroom fixtures, and entry door hardware. I cannot remember the last time I used a skeleton key for a hotel room. The bathroom lacked an exhaust fan, the carpeting in the bath smelled musty and there was mold growing on the wall at the ceiling.
Needs a lot more work before its okay for people to stay .
One member of staff only on a Friday night working very hard to try and provide adequate service for diners and guests .
Outside areas are untidy and unloved
Room was grubby mattress appalling, gave no support and found to be dirty .
Nice people trying hard but the place just isnt ready for guests needs lots of cleaning and tidying and tlc
There were limited option of where to stay for my trip, this place was convenient, I was surprised at the £50 per night price. I soon realized why it was this price! firstly, the owner is a lovely gentleman, polite and makes some fantastic curries! however the general state of the pub / accommodation is quite poor and in dire need of refurbishment, the pub itself had no atmosphere whatsoever and an unpleasant smell was evident.
If its just a bed you need for a stay-over, this place is fine and of course great value too, but don't expect any 'hotel' style amenities.

Rubbish outside the property. The Wi-Fi didn’t work.
The owner was pleasant and obliging, however, the accommodation was shabby and in places very untidy and dirty, which was not welcoming. Outside the part of the building in which the accommodation was located, there were discarded pieces of domestic rubbish and building rubbish. Overall this lack of care gives the impression of a place where we might also question hygiene, so we would not choose to visit again.
I preface this with note saying I would give the landlord 24 hours in which to contact me before writing my review. Neither Hotels.com or me have had any communication with them as I write.
After 45 minutes I checked out and sought alternative accommodation. Registered owners have much to do to retain guests. It was described as a gastro pub yet failed to serve food and is in a remote location; the uneven path between the pub and accommodation is not lit; the guest directory states “Choose BT WiFi - there was no BT WiFi; Check in took 15 minutes yet I was the only one being served; random plastic bottles were found in my bath.
Where do I start?
Staff were friendly
But
Place is a mess on multiple levels. It's falling apart, compounded by junk left everywhere. Indoors and out there is stuff lying around.
Claims gourmet food but menu is basic and I wasn't brave enough to try it.
Claims to be real ale pub but there isn't any unless you count Abbott in a bottle. I tried the cider but spoilt by strange smell from glass - each time.
Shower was unusable.
They need to close for a month, order a few skips, pile of cleaning materials and a lot of paint!

Average
We didn’t know until we arrived that it is under new management. It definitely is a work in progress. Having said that the staff including the manager were excellent. However the place is quite tired and scruffy particularly upstairs. The bar area is ok, looks recently sorted out. The bedroom needed decorating although the bed was comfortable and bedding was clean. It was curry night so apart from chicken nuggets and fries curry was the only choice which was disappointing. Outside the property needs cleaning and tidying up and the windows need cleaning. However we do wish the new management all the best for the future.
