Character, charm and creaks. Marlborough is an historic town with much to admire in the town and around the area. When you are fortunate enough to stay in such an area it is good to stay somewhere that is in sympathy with its surroundings. The Castle and Ball stands proud on the high street and is sympathetic to all the surrounding period properties. Time has missed many beats in Marlborough. The hotel is central to such modern day amenities as Waitrose and even there it is like stepping back in time. In Marlborough staff have time for you, you feel special. It’s all so civilised. The car parking for the property is through a fairly tight alleyway, it may well have been the coaching inn entrance to the stables. Plenty of space when I visited and it’s free for guests. Check in is where you start to feel the welcome in the Marlborough meet. Professional, friendly and efficient. From the check in desk I could see many customers availing themselves of the victuals the establishment had on offer. My room was vast with a walk in wardrobe, large en-suite and king size beds. Don’t come here expecting 21st century building finishes, it is an old lady of a building, in parts slightly faded but well kept. Furthermore, as with old ladies there are a few creaks but I always find this satisfying as it is so in keeping with aged structures. The evening sittings finish at 9pm and weekend breakfast is 8-10am. I thought breakfast was outstanding with traditional favourites through to he

Checking in and out was nice and simple. Room was very good and spotlessy clean. Comfortable bed. The only let down was breakfast which was a bit dry and overcooked. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking was great, in a town where it is notoriously difficult. Would be happy to stay again.
