Unfortunately for the second time in a row the service has been very poor, it isn’t a direct reflection on our server but more a problem of being understaffed. No table check ins had to try get their attention for additional drinks, desert etc. Food was very average and the bathrooms both males and female were filthy which may be understandable if 11pm on a Friday but given we were there just before midday…. There are many alternatives in the vicinity which offer an all round better experience

Tasty food, quite a large place and the area we were in was airy and light. Friendly service and decent prices. A great place to stop!

Great place, food is excellent good menu and vegetarian included. Service is both friendly and efficient with a lovely atmosphere. Well behaved dogs welcome. We have been a few times and each time it has been a delightful experience.

Absolutely loved the pork belly! Beautiful presentation. I could have eaten more of it though! The burger was great too.

We intended to eat here, but our experience was as follows:Restricted car parking which is also poorly lit.The entrance gate had no sign to say "Entrance" or similar.The actual restaurant was closed.There were only 2 staff working and one needed to be on the bar.We didn't stay so we can't comment on the food.

Lovely cozy atmosphere. There is parking behind. Less options for vegans but the food was good. Fries can be a bit better. Pet friendly and they have a nice little doggy bed and free treats. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The place is massive with many tables. Really good.

Carnarvon Arms was very charming. The location was perfect for our Highclere Castle tour. Plenty of parking. Great Sunday roast at the pub. Fun pub with lots of board games to play. Our rooms were simple yet comfortable. I appreciated the Nespresso machine and complimentary water. The breakfast was very good and I loved the menu. We had a bit of a miscommunication regarding an extra child's bed, but the new management was an absolute dream and so professional about making things right. Highly recommend this place for both their rooms and dining.

Visited for Sunday lunch with the family, the food was excellent with very generous portions, we had very attentive (but not overbearing) service and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The dining room is spacious and very nicely decorated, it was very busy but parking was easy. All in all, thoroughly recommend the Carnarvon.

We had an excellent Christmas Party at the Carnarvon Arms. Festive Menu food was excellent. Service good and unobtrusive. Very relaxed atmosphere - the staff even asked if we wanted the background music turned up or down! Would highly recommend!
