Seven of us just had a great long weekend at The Piddle Inn. You get the back of the pub all to yourself including a fully fitted kitchen, 4 bedrooms a massive lounge and a separate dining room. We also had a back garden to sit in as the weather was so nice. The property is a work in progress and not perfect but has that typical olde English feel. Our second year and we will be back again.

We stayed for three nights and were very happy. Our room was bigger than we imagined and The River Piddle was just outside our window. The hosts were fabulous, the food and drinks were lovely and the locals were also friendly. We did two fairly long walks in the beautiful surrounding countryside which we found on the village website. If you fancy staying in a characterful Inn with gorgeous surroundings you can't go wrong.

Had great long weekend here for an 80th birthday and could not have asked for more. You have the entire pub to yourself including a fully equipped industrial kitchen, many different inside seating areas, outside seating with BBQ and fire pit, plenty of parking, four good sized ensuite bedrooms and much more. Thoroughly recommended, hope to go back again in the not too distant future

The pub is now a holiday home. It has been converted and you can rent the whole thing to yourselves, bar and all! Despite an obvious campaign to save the pub for community use (there is a banner on the building next door) it seems the Piddle Inn is a victim of the mass extinction of village pubs, except this one has been thrown a lifeline. Given how many sad, abandoned buildings line our country lanes nowadays, many fated to be demolished or turned into insanely expensive executive housing that no one from the local area can afford, I think what the host has done here is nothing but ingenious. You are staying in a converted B&B. You can have breakfast at the bar, have lunch out in the garden and dinner at a grand dining table. Afterwards, relax in a sizable lounge or play games in one of the booths. Meals are prepared in the commercially fitted out kitchen, complete with all the kit you could dream of for cooking for hungry hoards. Every authentic aspect of the pub has been preserved for use by private groups. It is such a novelty, like a weekend-long lock in with just people you want to spend time with! I think the host should be celebrated for preserving a part of our national heritage and providing a holiday rental that doesn't take a family home out of a housing market that is on its knees. Yes, it isn't available for community use anymore and it is sad for the handful of villagers who wanted to keep it open. But the widespread epidemic of pub closures over the last two decades has hardly gone undocumented and surely this option is infinitely more favourable than the alternative, which would be a boarded up, eye-sore ghost from a different age, slowly falling into dereliction. Everything was clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and very chilled out. There was a bit of damp and I forgot my slippers so had to wear sandles on the well-trodden floors. But even with just a small level of forgiveness for the fact it's a very old building, situated right next to a body of water, you can easily get over those, very minor, imperfections. Overall, loved the experience and hope to come back with friends very soon.

Perfect stay! We had Room 2, and had a lovely view of the river and fields across the way! The room itself was big, as was the bathroom with bath and shower! The bed was very comfy too! As you can expect from a Inn it does get busy and quite noisy in the evening, especially at closing time when you're in bed and trying to sleep but what do you expect? The room/view itself is perfect so it didn't matter to us at all! The landlady was brilliant, hardworking, and friendly! The evening meals and drinks excellent and great value (Cheap!!) And the Breakfast was excellent too! What a lovely place to stay! We will be back one day! 👍👍👍
