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

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.

Food was 'ok', but the staff were completely indifferent. No welcome greeting when we walked into the pub - staff too busy on their phones - and no/little interaction when food was placed on the table. Very disappointing customer service and felt that staff didn't value our custom!
