Charming Stay Near Highclere

comfortable bedplantation shutterswide screen tvhelpful staff
I enjoyed the room very much (it was the 'Canter' room, by the way). The bed felt very comfortable and I liked the design with plantation shutters and interior decor. The shower area included a cleverly designed sliding door. the water temperature did not require adjustment. Having a wide screen TV added relaxation. The staff seemed friendly and efficient, particularly Max. He was helpful and quietly sensitive during a difficult time for my family. He handled a large, unexpected group with flexibility. I also appreciated the complimentary sloe gin. A nice touch that added to the stay.
I noticed a lack of biscuits in the room. Biscuits would have been nice with the hot drinks.
