Decent hotel. Visited for two nights whilst in the area. Staff are overworked; mostly pleasant but clearly find it difficult to raise a smile. Breakfast was good but better venues are on the excellent High Street. Rooms are to a good standard. Ours overlooked the High Street itself and was a good size if a little short on sockets and with a number of wall switches whose purpose was inexplicable.

We stopped off in Marlborough on the way home and wanted to have a Sunday lunch.There were plenty of places to choose from, but we didn't know the area and after checking others out we figured that the castle and ball looked good.When we discovered that it was a Greene King maybe we should have set our expectations lower, but then how can you go wrong with a roast??My wife had the beef roast and I had the trio of meat roast. The potatoes were way overcooked and very dry, inedible, as was the Yorkshire pudding. There was a poor we excuse for crackling on the plate. The vegetables looked like they'd been served to somebody else, left and then put back on my plate! The meat tasted stale, but thank God for English mustard.Highly disappointed and to avoid disappointment I would suggest you walk on and just don't eat here.

We previously met a friend for a drink here as it's half way between where we both live, decided to have food tonight, and it was great. Everyone really enjoyed their food.Beer was good. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Can't ask for more.Will now be our regular meeting place.

We have just returned from a lovely stay at The Castle and Ball. Simon and his team couldn't do enough to help make our stay a great one. Location of the hotel is great, our dogs were welcomed, the food we had was really nice. We'll worth 5 stars

Stayed for 3 nights. Lovely room but a bedside lamp would have made a huge difference. Staff were excellent. All very friendly and extremely helpful. Shame about the sausage at breakfast. Everything was good value for money, would definitely return 🌹

Really convenient location right in the centre of Marlborough. Helpful staff. Room very clean and spacious and I loved the quirkiness if the uneven floor. Breakfast was generous but not the best sausage I have ever tasted. Arch to the right of the pub as you face it will get you to a good sized car park. No plugs next to the bed so couldn't easily charge my phone which is my alarm so it needs to be near me. WiFi was poor. I was in Room 12 which is the very end of the property but good wifi is no longer an optional extra. A strange hole in the room.door which would have been an easy repair.
