Beautiful gem of a hotel close to Highclere Castle, so perfect if you’re planning a visit there. Comfortable rooms decorated beautifully. Very friendly helpful staff. The breakfast was super tasty and we ate in the restaurant which I can highly recommend…especially the lamb cutlets! Gorgeous place and would definitely stay again….and it’s dog friendly so even better!

Went to a birthday do which was great. The pub is nicely spacious and has a nice little garden at the back. Decor is nice too. I didn't stay overnight so can't comment on the rooms, only the pub and the garden.

Beautiful countryside pub a stones throw from Highclere Castle

Reviewed By Frannullah2

Stayed one night Saturday 7th May. Enjoyed a delicious evening meal, in a really cosy restaurant area. The Carpenters Burger and the fish and chips were divine. Good selection of beer. The rooms are separate to the pub in a peaceful house. Our room was spacious with a en-suite (unfortunately the shower was not working but we managed for one night and they were very apologetic). Everyone we spoke to was so friendly and helpful. If going to Oxford or visiting the magnificent Highclere castle which is just about 5 minutes away, make sure you stop here!

Five Bells

Small Room But Quiet

Reviewed By IanPLancashire

I stayed here recently just for one night. Lovely old inn with friendly staff. My room was very small, no hanging room for my clothes but it was clean and very quiet during the night so I got a great night sleep. No tea/coffee in the room but you could go downstairs in the morning to make it but I found this a bit of a faff. The pub downstairs was great with superb food.

Seen the Greek Table at the Bacon and thought we’d give it a try. Food was delicious and we couldn’t fault anything. They are doing a great job and we will definitely be returning for more. Would recommend to anyone to try this Greek cuisine and they would be taken by surprise.

Very Disappointing

Reviewed By X3936SHcarolinew

I was expecting a smart boutique hotel, I got a sticky grimy pub masquerading as a smart hotel. The website promises stylish, comfortable rooms what you get is a pokey room, with bad lighting, a lot of noise from the kitchen extractor fan which roars all day until the kitchen closes. Dirty net curtains, dirty curtains and a dusty room. 1 teabag, UHT milk, no water glass, peeling wallpaper and grubby carpets. It's trying hard but just doesn't reach the standard the website projects. The staff were polite but in a surly way expect one waitress who was delightful, they all looked how I felt, wishing they were somewhere else! I changed my room on arrival but the replacement wasn't a lot better just brighter. The lighting is harsh, the blinds on the windows are a joke and full of dust. Outside my window on the roof of the pub below were numerous cigarette butts presumably from other guests who couldn't be bothered to walk down to the uninspiring back garden to enjoy the view of the Royal Mail building, noisy busy road and the company of the noisy and somewhat unprepossessing clientele. The menu is limited and the food often badly cooked although the breakfasts were good, however I object to paying £95 for a room including breakfast only to find this consists of cereal, juice and dry croissants. The cooked breakfast is around £10 more although it was tasty. I was looking forward to a haven of relaxation at the end of 4 busy days and ended up praying for night when I could sleep. If I hadn't been so tired I would have checked out and gone elsewhere.
