The Green Dragon

Marlborough is a gorgeous, well located town. We chose this location for its proximity to a special weekend event (The RIAT 2025) Hence we made our booking 9 months in advance and there was little accommodation to choose from in the area. The Green dragon is clearly first and foremost a pub and you just wait as long as it takes, at the bar to check in. We got given a large front room, right above the bar and overlooking the high street. After ascending a narrow lumpy stairway to the room and then another to discover a bathroom, we were immediately disappointed to find there was no shower. We could just about manage awkwardly, with the hand hose, in a high sided bath, positioned under a low ceiling. An alternative room wasn’t an available,Though looking around Im not sure there would have been any better options. There is no breakfast served with or without booking and they did not serve evening meals. If you want a vibrant and lively bar? then this is the place for you. The entertainment/Juke box doesn’t go off till 12am and then the noise continues to spill out in to the street till the early hours of the morning. This is without a doubt, that kind of pub that is a great hang out for locals with a causal feel. It has a scruffy outside space to enjoy a lively summers night vibe. This is for the night owls out there, that don’t need to sleep or have a bedroom window open. There is a strict no smoking policy for the rooms, but plenty of smoke billows in to the room from t

There is parking behind the waitrose and staff walked us there after their shift had ended to ensure we understood the parking App since tomorrow is the Farmers Market on High Street and we would have to move the vehicle early. Now it’s all sorted and paid in advance. Of course it’s an older hotel and everything is crooked and settled, but you should come here for that eclectic experience, as we did. I just miss the old mural that was painted in the pub before, replaced by a more modern map.

Very old noisy building Old hotel with an in nerving slope in the room. Ok - so the building is hundreds of years old so it’s maybe to be expected Very noisy - again age of building suggests you can’t fit double glazing Can easily hear the bar ( and music ) downstairs Large eating areas downstairs- surprisingly no breakfast though. I’ve seen this in other Wadsworth pubs.

Marlborough The room in the pub was clean. The pub itself was tired and the garden area was overgrown and messy. The building had scaffholding and the men appeared right outside the window one morning without warning. Late night noise from pub goers caused disturbance one evening and the people setting up the market early hours 4am on Saturday morning made for very disturbed sleep. The pub is in a good location for all amenites in the town. Staff didnt warn us about the men arriving on the scaffholding.

Nice overnight stay. An old building with wonky flooring and lovely beams. Our room was up two flights of a spiral staircase, the room was clean, spacious, the bed comfy and the room comes with all the usually items you'd expect. The pub itself had a good selection of drinks and a good selection of food items - which are reasonably priced. The service is polite and friendly

Fine for Bed only - no parking either Greeted by the barman who was obviously busy serving behind the bar so our check-in wasn't perfect, however we'd traveled a long way and were looking dinner in. No such luck - food stops and 4pm. No breakfast offered either which actually was ok because we had a lovely breakfast nearby at Coffi Lab.
