Found the place expensive £7 a pint, and £13.50 for a breakfast, which we didn’t bother with.Also the room I paid for double room with an extra single bed, had been given to someone else, which by the way I had phoned up two days previous to verify I had.Staff I spoke too were nice, but I would never go back there.

We had an amazing Christmas at the Hatchet.
Christmas Eve food was great and local musicians provided excellent entertainment which everyone in the pub joned in with. A fantastic atmosphere.
The hotel rooms were warm and comfortable.
Although we had one minor glich with our room, it was dealt with quickly and professionally.
Thank you Gerry.
We will certainly be staying at The Hatchet next time we are visiting Wiltshire.

Very charming. We had a lovely dinner in front of a crackling log fire. My partner’s onion soup was the best he’d ever tasted, even better than fancy restaurants in Paris! The bedroom was set apart from the main building so it was nice and quiet and we slept well. We got up early for winter solstice sunrise at Stonehenge intending to be back in time for breakfast, however we were a little late back, but the owner was very accommodating and made sure we still got fed. We would happily stay there again!

Lovely setting & menu though rooms not clean!

This was our 2nd stay here as not much else in the area though this time they had not linked us together & blamed hotels.com even though they did remember us from last year. Rooms & bathrooms are not clean & I had to wrestle with a massive wolf spider in my room this year, whereas last year were lots of cellar spiders! Lots of cobwebs to get rid of above the bed which wasn’t even comfortable, noted that some bathrooms have been refurbed now though if they’re not kept clean they won’t last. Food is to a good standard with a varied menu, though we will not stay next year now.

The Hat het is a loverly picturesque pub/ hotel. Welcome excellent, food and ambiance perfect. VFM good. The thing that let it down was cleanliness of the room- smeared bathroom mirror looked like it was cleaned with a soiled cloth ( had to clean it to see any reflection!) the toilet rim covered in hair & dust & the lamp shades & corners of the room rife with cobwebs.
We did enjoy our stay however and we did report the room dissatisfaction to the young service lady but no apology or explanation from the landlord?
Dogs welcome on a lead in bar & rooms.

Comfortable, gentle, relaxed stay. Plan to return.

2 night weekend stay. Room was 1 of 4 in cottage adjacent to pub. Reasonably spacious, usual amenities. Comfortable bed, quiet. Relaxed feel. Staff are lovely, friendly, very helpful, chatty, courteous and competent. Breakfast was excellent. Traditional experienced landlord who sat for a chat during breakfast. Dinner was good, varied menu with lots of specials. Real ales. Traditional old English country pub. Lowish beams, inglenook fireplace and another log fire. Very much a locals pub we were made to feel welcome and included with gentle banter. First Friday of the month local bands play and we were fortunate to stay at that time. Band was very good and layout of the pub enabled you to sit far enough away to both hear the band and chat to your partner. My wife and I were in need of a break away and The Hatchet fitted the bill perfectly. We were quite taken with the whole ambience of the place and most certainly plan to return. Prices are fair and reasonable for rooms, food and beverages.

Best Breakfast Ever!

Stayed here for a couple of days on business. Firstly I have to say there was nothing negative about my stay other than a slight issue about the bed being too firm for my personal liking. The rooms are large and well equipped. Nice bathroom and the staff are fantastic. The place is really quiet and peaceful which is ideal for a business traveller. One other thing I have to add, the most pleasurable thing about staying away is a nice breakfast in the morning, I must say I specialise in food safety and quality standards and this is certainly no Premier Inn, this place has one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in a hotel. 5 stars from me, I look forward to visiting again.

The Hatchet Inn is a beautiful B&B. The staff were excellent very friendly. The room was spotless,The Breakfast was very nice. My only gripe is that the drinks are very over priced, my wife & i had a can of coke each & were charged £3 a can. I also heared someone ask how much a pint of Guiness was & he was told £10. I dont think charging extortionate prices for a drink should be allowed. I did say that we would use this establishment again but this has put me off of going back .

Definitely a foodie find

Without doubt a favourite foodie spot in a beautiful building in a quiet village. The food was fabulous and reasonable. If a bit more effort was put into the rooms it would be worth £125per night rather than £95. Fixtures and linen were quite cheap and not well maintained. The bed was comfortable and the shower excellent. The towels were top notch but there was no shower gel.

The Hatchet Inn

Our stay at The Hatchet Inn was first class. Have stayed with them previously made very welcome. Cleanliness was excellent and great variety of food which was also excellent. Enjoyed the quiz night

Pretty pub B&B with appalling breakfast service

Comfortable and well appointed room. Unfortunately breakfast service was dreadful. We arrived for breakfast at 8.05am (told and stated 0800-0930 at weekends). No sign of life and rang two doorbells and used door knocker several times. Dogs started barking, someone appeared at the door at 0820. No apology, no welcome, nothing except 'tea or coffee, toast brown or white?' Zero conversation and inter personal skills. We discovered the poor cereal selection in old plastic containers. The breakfast room hadn't been cleaned since previous night activity. Balloons, paper petals, used napkin on floor. The chef arrived and asked what we wanted for breakfast. No welcome, apology or breakfast options offered. Not a 'hello/good morning ' etc from anyone. We did have a nice chat with the people at the next table! Dog (and I love dogs but some guests may not like them in the eating area) sat at our table for the whole of breakfast, presumably awaiting tit bits. If we hadn't paid for this using a Hotels.com free night we would have asked for a partial refund and pursued the reasons for the dreadful breakfast experience. The cooked breakfast was reasonable although the toast was cold by the time it arrived. Perhaps we were just unlucky but we will not visit again.

The accommodation was located in a detached property at the rear of the pub, which housed four separate rooms. This was away from the road so it was quiet, apart from the noise of the extractors in the kitchens which were also at the back of the pub, and were running throughout the day from breakfast until late in the evening.

The bathroom was rather damp (the fan did not seem to be working) and it could do with modernising.

The room was reasonably clean and comfortable; a kettle and mugs were provided, however the tea bags that were provided had no flavour (perhaps they had been there since 2020?!) which was a shame when you are looking forward to a cup of tea after a long drive.

Overall it was ok but with a little effort could have been so much better, given the beautiful character and location of the building.
