The Carpenters Arms

Excellent evening meal. Relaxing atmosphere .staff friendly and warming. Breakfast was cooked to order and didn’t disappoint! Would certainly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to revisit.

Very welcoming, shame the kitchen closes on Sundays at 5pm but breakfast was truly great

easy parking, good size of room with comfy bed, good food and friendly staff.

Easy to find, easy to park, great staff, excellent service, tidy, comfortable rooms, amazing breakfast. Couldn't fault anything, a great stay.

All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the evening meal in the restaurant was good. However, we found the room we stayed in a little disappointing and whilst accepting it is within an old and character property we felt it need a little bit more attention. There were several nosies that we found a bit obtrusive, e.g. the road noise was quite constant and noticeable (we understand that this is not something the accommodation can easily rectify) there were several 'plumbing' related noises, some from the adjoining rooms but also a loud pump or fan noise within the room itself which started up at random times. As we were only there one night it was not too problematic. Without the above issues we would have rated it higher.

What a charming pub with rooms! The food was beautiful and the service was fantastic! Great value for money and generous breakfast included. I was shown to my room - which are really well thought out for things needed (i.e. full length mirror / iron and ironing board) and was pleasantly surprised to see some rooms had outdoor seating :) Would recommend maybe the bathroom windows are frosted over as mine overlooked the car park and ground floor but only had to pull the blind down. I believe it has been taken over recently so sure more improvements will be coming! Will definitely return! Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Good place to stay- friendly staff and fantastic food

Great location, minutes off A34. Great staff, good food and value for money.

Nice little rooms. Good staff, good food. A mini fridge in the room would have been nice

Fun rural facility with unique rooms, nice setting. Very pleasant staff.

Close to Highclere Castle with plenty of parking spaces and a nice restaurant. The evening meal was good, the pie of the day is superb and the Arkell’s 3B beer is delicious.

Staff brilliant nothing else to say would definitely stay again

My room was a little tired, but for the price I wasn't expecting the Ritz. Perfectly functional, with comfy bed, good shower over bath. Nice extras of biscuits and bottled water. Staff in pub great, food really tasty, food and beer very reasonably priced. Felt very safe and welcomed as a single traveller. Will happily return.

What a lovely find! Staff great food fabulous, great friendly locals. The room what can I say best bed ever only stopped one night. Can't wait to return
