Hôtel magnifique, très bien situé (à 10mn de Highclere Castle) avec beaucoup de cachet ! Nous avons énormément apprécié notre séjour là-bas, les petits déjeuners sont copieux, le personnel est très serviable. Nous avions une chambre spacieuse et au calme. Nous avons même pu bénéficier d’un surclassement ! Nous recommandons vivement et reviendrons avec grand plaisir

Very busy, definitely worth booking for your meal, the food was more Gastro Pub than normal but lovely none the less. Great staff. Quirky and old building with sloping floors. Very nice bed in the bedroom. Only slight downside is you can hear the bar etc downstairs until they close but if you are not an early to bed type of person its fine. VERY little parking onsite but there is other parking in the village.

The food was excellent - both breakfast and evening meal. Full fresh cooked breakfast included in the cost of the room. Proper Americano coffee served at no extra cost with breakfast! I had a glass of champagne with the evening meal and it was chilled, bubbly and perfect.

What an incredible place! The room was lovely and spotless and the bed super comfy and breakfast delicious ... but it's the extra special touches and extra special team there that takes this to another level!! There's free drinks in your bedroom, a very comfortable residents only lounge with more complimentary drinks (as you can see in the pics). That was a huge bonus and the staff were brilliant! We were struggling to get a taxi to Highclare Castle so the manager Darren stepped in to make arrangements for us to get there. The team have a lovely family like vibe about them and we left feeling as though we'd stayed with friends!

A really nice overnight stay and dinner at The Swan / Bel and Dragon. The building is delightful - full of beams and historical atmosphere but very well maintained. The bar was certainly very well patronised and appears popular with locals while most of the 9 rooms appeared to be occupied, based on the numbers at breakfast. We had a good evening meal and an excellent breakfast with a wide range of choice. Nice touches were the residents-only sitting room, which is a lovely large room with a vaulted beamed ceiling and a decanter of whisky available for a complimentary nigh-cap! Would certainly stay there again if in the area.

Great short stay. Our room oozed character and history, enhanced by top quality fittings. Bed was enormous and super comfy. Breakfast was absolutely spot on. Complimentary bottles(!) of gin and whisky and the posh shower toiletries topped it all off.

This is a go-to property every time we come over. The food is through-the-roof good, the rooms are clean and beautiful, and the parking is great. The bar is a local hangout, and everyone is VERY welcoming and they love to chat and share stories. Don't hesitate to eat there. The food is one of the reasons we stay. Staff is amazing. The ground floor room we had opened up onto the chef's garden, and it was quiet, and even pastoral. A lot of people come there to go to Kingsclere castle, i.e. "Downton Abbey" -- but we stay there for the food and service, and it's a wonderfully quiet place with great people.

This is lovely hotel situated in a very cozy area! On site parking was convenient. Staff were extremely helpful! Breakfast service was great and the hotel restaurant was outstanding. Very close to many sites especially Highclere Castle. Rooms were updated, clean, and spacious with all of the amenities. There was even a very comfy sitting room on our floor!
