Really nice chalet accommodation behind the main property. Easy parking on street and at rear. Located in a pretty village. Plenty of breakfast options, though quality of the full English was only average. Reasonably priced and good value.

We found friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Super Continental Breakfast, plus a large cooked breakfast on the Friday morning. Comfy, clean room with all amenities in peaceful area at rear of the pub. Evening meals good value especially mid week...super veggie burger. Parking safe and easy. Nothing to fault...will be back again....thanks

Fantastic accommodation with one small flaw.
I stayed in one of annex rooms off the main Hotel building. The room was very clean and very well presented. I rarely sleep well away from home but I found the bed very comfortable and I slept surprisingly well! En suite bathrooms were good too. All of the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The pub itself was welcoming and a great place to sit. It does get busy at peak times but I would be surprised if it didn't! The only Flaw: The food was well cooked and very tasty. It is traditional pub food, so could be considered a small menu but there was a good choice. However, the time it took to get food seemed unreasonable. On a not-busy evening, it took nearly 45 mins from ordering (pie and chips and vegetable dish) , and at breakfast it took over 30 mins for eggs on toast (eggs Benedict). It's not a deal breaker as the hotel and accommodation are great but due to the delays in food, we chose to eat elsewhere. A shame as the food (when it came) was very nice! Overall, a recommended stay.

4 day trip, a base for food and accommodation
Live private events that made dinner options limited or rushed. I found alternative places to eat for evening meal. (Chinese and Indian restaurants in short walking distance. Shops and other pubs that have hot food) Although breakfast was excellent, continental with a large range of fruit, yoghurts etc. Parking is on the street but free, no room at the back of the hotel/pub.

We stayed at The Barrington Arms for the first time this weekend while visiting family in Shrivenham. The room was enough for what we needed, very clean bathroom and a comfy bed. Fantastic breakfast and a gluten free option too! I would definitely recommend.

The room was nice and bed was very comfortable but the whole place was tired in places and little things missing (eg no bin bags in the bins and no spoons with the tea/coffee). The breakfast was really nice and the outside area was lovely. We didn’t really spend any time in the pub itself. The village is lovely
