We had lunch here before taking friends to the Bombay Sapphire tour. The service was efficient and attentive. The food was high quality and prepared to an excellent standard. I recommend the fish and chips!The owner/manager took the time to show us the rooms on site. They looked amazing.

The Best Burger I have had in years!Two generous beef patties with melted applewood cheese - and finally, a chef who gets CRISPY bacon!My son had a halloumi burger which looked equally good. Great service and friendly landlord. We?ll be back.

We a had Sunday lunch here, and were left disappointed. Firstly we were hanging around for 10 minutes before being seated despite the place being empty and staff walking past us. One roast was luke warm, another came out without veg, portion sizes in general are quite small for the price. The service charge was included which normally i wouldn't mind, but all we recieved was basically someone taking an order and then putting the food in front of us, which is fine, but for the price of food, portion size and quality i would expect a bit more for the extra charge. The one good bit of service was the member of staff who kindly said she would sort out getting the end of a bit of bread for us for our baby to chew, however when the bill came we had been charged full price for the 'Selection of Artisan Breads with balsamic, olive oil & smoked sea salt' despite recieving two small pieces of bread ends with no accompaniment.

Nice little pub with rooms close to the Bombay gin experience. Arrived for a decent lunch then off for gin tasting and back for supper on the terrace. Sadly on checking in we found our room had been overlooked by house keeper. Spoke to Shelby the super woman who seems to run things and everything sorted Uber quick and ultra efficiently. Good food and drinks Breakfast ok but nothing special Overall highly recommend

Please don't stay here. They are really not nice people. Refused to redeem a gift voucher for £200 received exactly 12 months ago.

We stayed while visiting the Bombay Sapphire Distillery and the local area. We had a brilliant time, staying in the lodge rooms, we were well looked after with excellent food in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

We were a group of four for Sunday lunch. We each chose pork. Astoundingly there was no apple sauce and no apology. Waitresses spent a lot of time chatting to one another, yet a whopping great service charge was added to an already inflated bill. Expensive, yet mediocre.

Stayed two nights here in a garden suite room. Absolutely loved the included breakfast. The food here is fantastic. Made a reservation for dinner the one night and had a lovely time. The staff is friendly and attentive. I will be recommending this place to anyone heading to the Test River Valley.Rooms: Rooms are large with very nice bathrooms. Great water pressure and temperature in the shower

USED to be so nice, food is now very basic? had an £18 salad that looked like it had been shaken in an ice cream tub. The pub used to be so well maintained, it?s becoming rather tatty. Such a shame, this used to be such a nice pub!

Beautiful place lovely friendly and welcoming staff. Stayed one night in one of the lodges. Absolutely fantastic. Extremely sizable room with tea/coffee facilities.....t.v......large bathroom with twin sinks and walk in shower. Enjoyed a superb lunch of freshly made food.....not necessarily the cheapest but the quality was flawless. Would certainly stay there again....convenient stop over if you are visiting the Bombay Saphire Gin Distillery as we did which is just a 10 minute walk up the road.

We had a delightful evening, enhanced by the most delicious dinner. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We met the new chef, Bogdan who impressed us. From two very satisfied customers. Carolyn Sheffield

My husband and I loved our stay at Watership Down Inn! Beautiful property, great food and drinks at the pub, and the garden room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the scenic walk to downtown Whitchurch via the local footpaths, and public transit was also surprisingly convenient! Would definitely stay here again.

Two night stay. Have waited nearly 2 weeks for a response from the management. No joy. Chosen because its dog friendly. Power supply issues. Room 4 probably still has a wasp nest above the door. You can't shut the bathroom door so only share the room with people you are comfortable performing bodily functions in front of. Inconsistent approach to customer care. Poor communication. We didn't see the same member of staff twice. Take a torch. Broken sleep because of emergency powecut lighting both nights. The garden rooms could do with a soft sofa. There was nowhere cosy to sit and enjoy a drink inside the pub or in our room.
