A tad difficult to find, a signpost would help, this is a fabulous traditional country inn. We had booked 3 rooms well in advance for a family celebration and were not disappointed. If you want a local village pub, but with lovely rooms and great food this is it. Worth noting that this is a very popular place to stay... More

What a find! Stayed for one night on 11/11/11, on the way south, but will stay for longer next time. Middle of nowhere but well worth finding. Room 4 comfortable and bar food excellent. Sarah Jane was most helpful in giving us a list of places to visit. Locals very friendly and we made new friends. Breakfast well cooked and... More

We stayed for two nights over a bank holiday weekend having found The Compasses on an internet trawl. What a little gem! Friendly staff, excellent range and quality of food and a fine selection of ales and wines. They were happy to accommodate our two Boxer dogs in the bar and in our room. Good atmosphere and friendly locals. The... More

We stayed 2 nights as part of our walking tour, and this was our favorite. Had wifi in the room with laptop in window. Our rm #3 in back corner was great; only drawback was sharp corners of the 2 beds are hard on shins. The food at restaurant was excellent; everyone was friendly and nice. Yes, duck your head,...

It takes some finding but is worth the search. No wonder it has won Wiltshire pub food awards for the past few years. Great choice of menu, good wines & good service although they are in danger of getting overstretched at times due to their own success. Rooms are fine - you just have to remember to duck all the...

First impressions were good. We were greeted warmly and showed immediately to our room by a very pleasant young lady. That's where the problems began. Our guide showed us the room (Room 2) then advised us not to worry about the noise as it was 'just the extractor from the kitchen, and would be shut off when the kitchen closed'.... More

We have stayed twice at the Compasses ... each time arriving in the early darkness of an English autumn afternoon. To drive down the narrow road off the A303 (?) is to leave it all behind. It is dark! The hotel is dark - closed till 6. A thumbtacked note advises you of the room and key arrangements. It's all... More

I stayed here a while ago (a bit before the date allowable in the review template) and have such fond memories I had to write a review. We stayed in Plum Cottage 2 adults and 3 young kids. The staff were wonderful and made our stay. The location was amazing; we had lovely walks in beautiful countryside and founds plenty... More

This is a historic 14th century pub and inn, with only few rooms, in the middle of the romantic English countryside. We stayed in the adjacent Plum cottage, which is a neat&clean full apartment, with kitchen, living room with fireplace, and 3 bedrooms (one large, 2 tiny w/o any furniture beside the bed) As the place is far from the...
