We stayed here for three nights. The owner Alan was extremely helpful and did all he could to see to our needs. The simply furnished room was comfortable, quiet and kept well. The best part was the pub, where we spent our evenings. The food was excellent and was far better than one would have expected in a small country... More

We visited this lovely old pub for an evening meal. We had a lot of trouble finding it as there are no signs and had to ring up to get directions. The meals we had were delicious and reasonable value. The decor outside and inside the pub are very attractive and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend!

Stayed for one night and loved the Compass Inn - the building is lovely, the setting perfect,the staff very friendly and the food really good. However, I did not get to sleep until 4.45am when whatever had been running downstairs switched off. It sounded like a fan or washing machine and I am very susceptible to that sort of noise... More

Compass Inn I stayed for a long weekend at Compass Inn. I an wheat free diet and I emailed ahead to inform them. They replied they would get me some wheat free bread in. This turned out to be typical if the people at the Compass, they go that extra mile to make you feel comfortable. I often go away... More

Stayed two nights recently and the accommodation and the food were of a very high standard. Situated in a lovely country location and close to the village of Tisbury. Convenient train station at Tisbury to travel to Salisbury rather than take the car. Excellent welcome and we will definitely stay here again.

Just returned from a fantastic couple of nights at The Compasses Inn. My girlfriend and i decided on a last-minute get away with our dog and secured an excellent rate for a charming room. Within 2 hours of London we discovered this hidden oasis of tranquility, great cooking and long walks. Alan the owner runs a great operation with a... More

All that anyone could want from a country pub. We were there in Jan. 2013 for six nights to look around Wiltshire and we stayed in the adjoining cottage. The food was excellent and varied, with some traditional "Pub grub" and some choices which were far from traditional and quite delightful. The pub has a wonderful wine list. The bar/restaurant...

A perfect country pub/hotel. Great location; hospitable owners and staff, excellent food (including breakfast). Rooms simply furnished but satisfactory for a short stay. Would love a few days in the adjacent cottage. Will definitely return!

I came here with my husband on a quiet mid week evening and it was brilliant. Food was perfect and service was good, plus there was a nice roaring fire! Cosy and comfortable. Recommend the lamb shank and stick toffee pudding with brandy snaps. Well definitely back, looking forward to a visit in the summer :)

The Compasses is a wonderful country inn in a beautiful part of the world, ideally placed for country walks in West Wiltshire AONB. The setting is idyllic with lovely countryside all around. The first highlight is the bar/restaurant interior which is truly magical - incredibly cosy with a timeless quality, exudiing centuries of charm; the second is the superior quality... More
