I loved the hot & tasty food and staff were excellent. The location is Axe 10m.one way to a Spar shop and just 20 mins to Newbury for a Take Away. The room and facilities were immaculate with, well spoken tenants and patrons. The area is perfect for seeing Calne and all around Marlborough. Loved the extra touch of a free coffee machine. Breakfast, and.Lunch were great..Had a great time, rrasonably priced, hot shower, powerful, good parking, beautiful marquis for events, just lovely, Thanks to All Staff at The 5 Bells Wickham.

Shower a little small but they uograded me to a double which was very friendly

The room was lovely, finished to a high spec, clean and crisp. Staff were lovely and very friendly. We went into the pub for dinner and drinks, although more on the expensive side, it was a lovely meal and was a relaxing atmosphere after a long drive.

There wasn't a plug near the mirror and no hair dryer in the room, not a huge issue but would of preferred this. The tea/coffee facilities were communal, which again we would of preferred in the room. We could hear next doors TV when we went to our room at 11pm. Would of preferred a black our blind but again no huge issue aa we needed an early start.

The food was fantastic. Had the venison pie and mash which was delish. Fire was lit and had a good atmosphere. Room was cute. Nicely decorated. Good shower. Clean. Staff were very friendly.

Could do with some comfy chairs to sit on in the pub instead of at a dinner table as I wanted to ready book and relax. The mattress in the twin room needs replacing as the springs didn't allow for a very restful night's sleep.

Loved the area and the look of the pub. Pretty thatch country pub. Huge garden out back with tables and options to sit in shade or sun. The room we stayed in was the biggest of the 5, and well presented, tidy, modern and clean. The roll top bath was lovely too. We ate dinner in the pub, meal was superb, all staff very friendly and welcoming.

Only thing was the mattress. Poor quality, could feel and hear the springs on the edges. Slight dip in middle of the bed. Mattress could do with replacing. Some repairs on wall by bed could be better finished to give a more quality feel.

The room far exceeded my expectations and the food and staff were excellent. Location for my need (Thruxton race circuit) was ideal, roughly an hour away with the Five Bells being located in a lovely village for walk. I was made to feel very welcome (being on a motorcycle still can be a 'challenge' at some establishments) and it made pleasant change to have staff who knew the food menu and could advise in a friendly manner, again, this is not always the case. would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Nothing - don't change!

We ate in the pub throughout our stay. It's got a delightful locals vibe and we felt very welcome. The food exceeded our expectations... Sunday lunch roast was magnificent, and the Hake and samphire was fabulous too. Gutted to have missed the fact that they brew a beer of their own. Lovely countryside to walk in. The 11 am check out time was a bonus. A useful field at the back of the pub where the dog could run as soon as we arrived. The fire in the pub was georgeous. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Bit chilly in the bedroom (very cold temps outside) and on the first night in the dining room at the French doors end (chilly draught).

I understand the reasons and cost reasons but due it to being very cold this week, the heating went off around 11pm and it was cold in that room overnight. Also not your fault at all, but the guests below me were so noisy and had their tv on max till 12:30am and then made a helluva racket living at 2;45am slamming doors on the way out. So not a good nights sleep but I will be back as it is a nice place. These things happen

The staff were very friendly and provided an excellent level of service. Although the room and en-suite were small, they were well decorated and furnished, and very clean. There was a ceiling fan in the room which was useful during the hot nights. The food offered by the venue is excellent with good sized portions. The venue has extensive grounds with good outdoor facilities and the venue’s brewery produces excellent beer.

All good.

I stayed for two nights using it as a base to see customers in the surrounding counties. I was greeted and shown to my room including how to use the free coffee machine available to guests. Had the twin room and it was nice and bright with an en suite that had a large shower cubicle. The Pub had a great selection of ales which I enjoyed sitting in the lovely pub garden at the back of the building. I did not eat here but the restaurant was busy every night. I will definitely be staying here again when next working the area and thank you to all the staff and management who had exceptional customer service skills.

N/A

Excellent room superb for 2 visitors (and a baby cot), super friendly and helpfull staff, great facilities around the room (free coffee & tea), good location to visit Newbury or Hungerford and National Trust locations, good parking availability and great dinner option for any night before rolling to bed.

Breakfast time is set to 9am. Staff could explain well why which I respect and breakfast isn't included in the room so totally extra, but it would be nice to have some option for travellers leaving early morning, maybe a breakfast package made the day before?
