This traditional pub had a nice large room with loads of rustic charm. The staff were brilliant and the breakfast was amazing! For the price it was well worth it.

Lovely room - it was well equipped and great location. Disappointed with the customer service - did not feel valued as guests - from a perfunctory Manager to bar staff that did not even look up from washing glasses whilst waiting at the bar. This is down to training and never went beyond the minimum customer service. Shame as the room was excellent but customer service let it down.

Charming building from the 15th century, with features preserved. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Food was excellent, with superb local ales! Plus, it’s dog friendly and ample parking for residents. Highly recommended!

We had a really lovely stay here. The room was lovely and a good size, comfortable bed and great amenities. The bar and restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was really nice. We thought the breakfast was a continental only but its not, and they offered a great range including full English, so that was a nice surprise and made the overall price even more value for money. We would be happy to stay again.

Stayed at the Marlborough for one night. Room was comfortable and clean, nice bathroom with very powerful shower. We ate in the restaurant and found the food very good value with excellent service. Breakfast was also good (the "Big Breakfast" lived up to its name!). Will definitely be back.

Lovely building and room with great staff and really good food. The only slight downside was the noise in the room overnight, as the charming-looking windows are gappy.

Very Nice accomodation. Slightly Overprice for what was offered. Dinner was good, but Breakfast was a bit mundane.
