  : Lovely place to stay in peaceful surroundings.It’s down a country lane and we thought we had missed it at first but then we saw the signs for it.The place has lots of character and history with creaky floors as you would expect in such an old property.We received a warm welcome and was shown our room and where the dining room was and how to get into the bar.The room was large, clean with everything you needed and a very large bathroom with a bath and walk in shower.Lovely big bath sheets as well.The bed was very comfortable and considering the heat that day the bedroom was cool.We eat in the bar that night and as we ordered pie we was told it would take longer to prepare. Not a problem but we could smell the pie cooking which smelt fantastic.It was well worth the wait.I get fed up with going in pubs and you know the food has just come straight out of microwave. Not here. Freshly cooked food.They have a bar area and a dining room with the most amazing fireplace. There is also an outside sitting area.Breakfast was very nice with the most amazing fruit salad. Just like what I have at home most days.When leaving we was even given a goody bag with bottles of water, fruit and biscuits in. Nice touch.This is a family run business so be prepared for the odd toy hanging around,I wasn’t a big fan of having to go through their living room but that’s just me. I guess they have to make the best of the set up they have so no problem. I know what it’s like to live in a pub and all the hard work that’s goes into it.There is room for improvement like the curtain rail in the bedroom needs sorting out and maybe a thicker blind at the bathroom window, not that it’s very over looked but just me I guess.It was a good find and so close to Avebury standing stones.Ben, Cody and their daughter Matilda are superb hosts. And not forgetting Maya their lovely dog.Cody gave us so much information about the history of the place as well which was very interesting.
  : I wasn't keen on having to go through their living room but there is another door where you can walk around

  : Myself and my family had a one night stop off in Elderbrook to break a long drive. The owner was exceptionally hospitable and the food was excellent. They sent us off in the morning with a lovely and filling breakfast and even gave us some water and fruit for our journey ahead. I would highly recommend Elderbrook House.
  : Nothing.

Traveller Type: group
  : The location is stunning. Breakfast was good.Staff were friendly and approachable
  : The smell as we came in. I think it was the tortoise enclosure. It was also untidy which didn't give a good first impression. Once through into the hotel area it was reassuring that the accommodation was as expected

  : The house is very old and charming. The garden was well cared for
  : The step up into the bathroom I tripped up twice. Fairly low door as well,

  : Finding somewhere to stay as close as possible to Avebury with my clients is often a challenge - I like to know where I'm staying is good - but sometimes you have to try somewhere new. So this was a punt .... that paid off.I love to be in walking distance of Avebury which at 1.5miles across fields this definitely is for me. (Although this time we chose to drive to the stones, I went for a lovely walk after dinner following some of the route.) The best thing for me is that the suite room ('Robin') means that a) My client and I can have separate rooms butb) I don't have to book two separate rooms and neither of us know if the other is awake!What is extra special about that room is that the big room (my client's) is vast - a gorgeous super-king bed and fabulous view - and enough space for the two of us to do some of the 'work' part of our stay - with the tub chairs and table and plenty of floor space for spreading paperwork out. Also the bathroom is palatial (my client very much enjoyed the free-standing roll-top bath!)We ate at the pub (as we were there on a day it was open for food) and all dishes were delicious - as was breakfast which comes with incredible choices... it would be easy to be delightfully greedy!I never know how often I have my 3-day immersive clients... but I look forward to bringing the next one here. Cody and Ben (and Matilda & Maya) give you the best of welcomes and dare I say they are undercharging for the service and quality? ... I think I do ... they could easily put their prices up and still be fabulous value.
  : If I'm being picky - a couple of more obviously healthier or lighter option items on the menu might be good (although there was a Caesar salad - so it's my bad that I went for the hunter chicken and chips)
