Please do come along and have a private view, there is no hard sell we like to think it is more important to listen to our potential customers and fit around them and what they want to do for their very special days rather than asking you to fit into our packages. SAME SEX COUPLES ARE MADE EXTREMELY WELCOME

Enjoyable time

Nipped in here as we were staying locally. The decor is really nice, and the staff are very friendly. The food selection is good too. The outdoor area has a really interesting layout with lots of covered 'pods' which I imagine is excellent in the summer for al fresco dining and drinking. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Excellent.

My husband and I spent six, very enjoyable, nights at this hotel. On arrival we had a nice welcome from a staff member who assured us that we would be well looked after and we were. The room we had was within the main building, it had a very comfortable bed with nice crisp white bedding, there were large white fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries in the bathroom and we will have to mention the Nespresso machine for making that early morning coffee. Breakfast choice was excellent

Wonderful

From start to finish our stay here was amazing! We flew in from Denver and got to the hotel early, Charlotte was wonderful and did all the she could to make sure we were comfortable and got our room ready early and with a smile and kindness hard to find these days. Charlotte continued to be willing to do anything for us and the rest of the staff was incredibly kind. The property is charming and so wonderfully decorated and creates a feeling like you are home, the food and drinks were delicious.

Perfect

Everything was perfect! We arrived on a blustery December day and stepped into the room to find it warm and cozy. Everything was neat and tidy. The staff were amazing. Food and drinks were delicious. Only wish we could have stayed longer

10/10

An excellent place for accommodation especially if you are visiting Highclere Castle. The rooms are very clean & comfortable. The restaurant serves good quality hot meals that are reasonably priced along with a comfortable bar/lounge area. Altogether a very nice place to stay 10/10 for the very helpful and accomodating staff!

i love it here

I love this place. Not only would I recommend it, I would come back again. In fact, I would be happy to live here. The service, the rooms, the amenities were far better than I was anticipating for a hotel with a three star rating. Truly wonderful.

We

I went for lunch with a friend yesterday. Everything was excellent - service, presentation, food. We sat outside in the sunshine and felt relaxed in the lovely setting. Highly recommend the Carnarvon Arms and we will return! Thank you.
