Historic property in the centre of Marlborough. Very convenient for the town and a good base to explore the local area. Food was good and staff helpful although they were busy. Room was well equipped and only thought was that it was looking a bit tired decor wise. Very comfy bed so no complaints. Would definitely stay again.

This inn is old and rooms, while clean, comfortable, and very serviceable, are tired and could use some updating. The staff was very helpful with luggage, etc. I’ll certainly visit again.

I stay there a lot when flying into or out of Heathrow. It's very convenient. The staff are always nice and parking is good and central. Then of course, it's super convenient for the prehistoric stone circle at Avebury and also a good place for Stonehenge. If you want a modern place, this isn't for you, but if you don't mind things being 17th Century,maybe it is.

Great central location and historical buildings...that did mean creaking of floorboards and those above, but no issues when sleeping 😴. Bar and reception staff great and Wendy was an expert on running routes.

Simply just right

All of the staff I encountered were very friendly, helpful and professional, especially the evening waitress who was very observant, responding within seconds if I looked at her for something. Food was good too, including the veggie options and good value for money & the bar man knew his wines. It was a little worn around the edges, but it is a 300 year old building so it's like slipping on your old comfy slippers!
