Overall it was very good, a few small issues, the curtains are hanging of many hooks & are too hard to pull on , the TV remote needed a good clean, mold under the bath handle .

Good stay, reception very helpful in allowing early check in for our wedding party. Rooms a little dated but it’s a thatched building so I suspect some restrictions. Nice breakfast, good parking
4.0 / 10.0
Comfortable spacious room and bed. Good location, lots of parking. Very friendly restaurant staff, reasonable food. My only complaint is that the room had an unpleasant smell and the decor was quite tired, but we were in a dog friendly one so maybe that was why.

This place looks great on the outside and the staff were nice but the property is worn out on the inside and in need of renovation. Ranks well below Travel Inn standards

From a distance a nice thatched hotel but up closer the hotel side looked to need much upgrading and decoration. The receptionist did state that upgrading to the hotel was starting.
Our room needed a good clean, window ledges with mould, side of the easy chair had visible fluid drips down.
The bathroom had a bath that was cracked, brown spots on the bottom, dirt around taps and mould on tiles. Same on sink, dirt around taps, mirror dirty. The toilet brush needed replacing and was sitting in dirty water!!! The non slip mat was yellowed.
Really not up to a good level of cleanliness.
I mentioned this on check out to receptionist and I think another staff member, cleaning supervisor maybe and they apologised. Disappointed.

The hotel reception main rooms and pub are all to a good standard, but the rooms need some TLC. Toilet had not been cleaned properly and ahowed signs of excrement . Unfortunately, We would not want to stay here again

Poor standard of accomodation. Bathroom was old and tatty.
Restaurant staff in the evening were great, but rude and weren't the leastbit interested.
Breakfast was poor, only two choices of cereal and breakfast was cold.
I wouldn't stay here again.
3.0 / 10.0
It is difficult to rate the stay, there was no one at checkin on arrival, in the end after going to find a member of staff reception was manned. Reception was deserted on checkout. The room was modern, clean and great. The outside area had a table, chair and a lot of cigarette ends, which could have been swept away. So good rooms, but no visible members of staff at all.

The hotel was fine for a one night stop over. It is in need of a face lift and renovation.
The diner menu is limited, but was ok. The staff were very friendly and tried hard. Thank you

Our stay was for a short family visit, we have been here before and as the last time it was excellent, the room is large and quite in a part of the hotel with access to the garden with your own seating area, we had a meat in the restaurant and it was the best fish and chips ever, served in a quite corner so we could enjoy a chat over lunch, service couldn't be faulted, absolutely excellent staff. We will stay there again and would strongly recommend it

We were worried to find a place we could stay with our Springer Spaniel, but this is the most pet friendly place we've ever been. There are the regular hotel rooms and pet friendly rooms. So not all rooms have pets which is totally fair as you have people with allergies to dogs. But you are made so very welcome. The welcoming staff even give a dog biscuit. Will stay here again for sure.

Lovely hotel, quiet clean and the staff very friendly and polite.
4.0 / 10.0
Fab location on the outskirts of Winchester. Individual seating area outside ground floor room. Carpets into accommodation area were mismatched and decor a little dated. Room was great - comfy bed and matching furniture. Large comfy tea seater and complimentary tea/coffee/bottled water. Bath was narrow meaning skin made contact with shower curtain. Reception and housekeeping staff were great.
Downside - table in restaurant booked for 7, ordered at 7.10 - food to table just after 8pm. Not particularly busy. Expensive food (£18.50 for vegan sausage and mash!). Breakfast buffet was good.
Gave 4* due to disappointing meal and service in the restaurant.

Was constantly bitten by mosquitoes during the night / have photo evidence of three that i had swatted on the ceiling and walls.
Also kept awake from the machinery noise coming from the boiler room adjacent to my room. A sleepless night , deserve a full refund and compensation. This lack of rest and comfort prior to a very important day has had a serious detrimental impact on my well being and the objectives i had lined up for the day.
Reported this to reception, night porter took my contact details and said the GM would contact me to discuss my complaint yet he hasnt done so. Obviously doesn't care about his customers.

3.0 / 10.0
Receptionist was polite, helpful and friendly, and check in was easy and she booked a table for us in the restaurant.
The room and bathroom were clean and bed was comfortable and towels were soft. Had tea making facilities and hairdryer.
The bathroom was dated as were the bedroom windows & door onto small patio area, didn't affect our stay but think price for just bedroom was on high side.
Went for evening meal and checked in and given choice of 2 tables, drinks order was taken and then main meals ordered.
As I am unable to have chocolate products it was a delight to see lemon meringue pie on the dessert menu along with the usual crumble or ice cream options. So I really looked forward to having a difference dessert and visions of a pie "just like mum used to make" being served. However, to say I was extremely disappointed is an understatement when it arrived....and asked waiter to tell kitchen I was not happy
It basically was about 2 1/2" small flat tart...pastry with a spread of lemon curd over it and the smallest amount of meringue piping on top....so it tasted of lemon flavoured pastry. Went we went to pay, I was asked if I wanted to make an official compliant, so I said yes. I explained to the "restaurant manager" that I thought it was so small and wasn't worth the money....to which he shrugged his shoulders and said that was the price and basically tough luck....I was expecting him to offer me a discount or a free tea as a gesture of goodwill...but no nothing

Decor quite tired, bathroom had unsightly rust/ black mould and there was a pervasive smell of some chemicals. There was an obvious lack of attention to detail when preparing the room as the shower gel/ shampoo dispenser was empty.

The welcome was poor. The corridors are smelly, the premium room was in poor condition, smelt of sewage, chipped paintwork everywhere, old stained carpet, black mould on windows and behind areas hidden, grouting brown.
We were moved to a marginally better room, with hidden mould.

Unfortunately we were given room 53, it was impossible to sleep due to the noise from the hotels heating system, we ended up having to change rooms in the middle of the night inorder to get some sleep...so top tip...dont accept room 53
