Thatchcombe B&B Reviews
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hosts Tony and Astrid are lovely.Nothing is too much trouble for them.The accomodation had everything in it that we needed for our 3 night stay and after meeting them we know that if there was anything you needed they would try their best to help.Accomodation was spotless and very comfy.A nice touch was having a fridge in the room.Very peaceful and the gardens and views are beautiful.The breakfast was very tasty and healthy.Lots of reading material if you like a book.A bluetooth speaker to plug your device in to listen to your favourite music.Attention to detail excellent.In our opinion 10/10.
Negative: We stayed in The Cranny which we loved.Maybe if you have mobility issues ,the steps in to the bathroom may not be for you but ask if the other room has steps.There is a very sturdy hand rail just inside the bathroom door though which is of good assistance.

Positive:
The property is situated next to a quiet country road and has an extensive, beautiful garden along a chalk stream. Breakfast was German-style continental with plenty of fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals, breads and homemade jams. It was easy to walk to a nearby village using the quiet, safe road or a footpath that was accessible from the back of the property. The accommodation was tastefully furnished and decorated making it a relaxing place to stay.
Negative:
We cannot think of anything! We were only there two nights.
Summary: An idyllic B&B in a lovely rural location

Without a doubt the best B&B I've ever stayed in! The owners, Tony & Astrid, were warm and welcoming, the rooms are well furnished with good quality items, including, a fridge plus small table and chairs, and a comfy sofa. There's a bbq in the garden too, if guests wish to cook something, (crockery and cutlery in the rooms) - not something I've come across in any other B&B. There's a well stocked bookcase in the rooms, with a selection of local guides and history books, maps and other local info. The bathroom was roomy and had a powerful shower, with towels, flannels and other little touches.
We had free access to the extensive gardens, with several seating areas to enjoy the glorious surroundings, which include a bubbling chalk stream, vines, orchard, bee hives and a riot of colour in the flower beds. We saw deer, woodpeckers and many species of birds and butterflies whilst enjoying the sunshine. (Two beautiful dogs in the house too, whose company we very much enjoyed)
Breakfast was delicious, continental style with cheese and cold meats, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, bread and croissants and included honey from their hives and several home made jams. It's served in the dining room, with a terrace overlooking the gardens.
I could go on for much longer, but please go and try for yourself, it's perfect.
Negative:
Absolutely nothing!
Summary: A perfect place to relax and unwind

An utterly wonderful hidden gem of lovely accommodation with a beautiful English country garden as well as nature and wildlife in the countryside for stress to melt away. I stayed in the room looking towards the chalk stream, with french doors open to hear the fresh sound of a small waterfall and birds in the distance. Finished to an excellent standard, good WiFi. Delightful buffet style continental breakfast beautifully served, with delicious homemade relishes and jams. Lovely hosts. It really was soul restoring after stressful work days in Oxford & Reading. Stayed an extra night rather than change hotel.
Negative:
It was simply fantastic. One note though... the pub up the road did a delicious meal worth paying for but the price of the wine I should've looked at before having a second glass !
Summary: Soul restoring. Really, really wonderful with good WiFI.
