A pleasant one night stay!

Our garden room was lovely - quality of the interior/decoration was very good, we loved the farmhouse style tiled flooring with underfloor heating. It was also very quiet & peaceful. We had dinner at the pub which was really good, highly recommend the burger & sticky toffee pudding! Staff were friendly.

We like to sleep in complete darkness, but the smoke alarm & other emergency lighting was green and lit up the room at night which we found irritating. The pillows were too soft so we woke up with neck ache. The option of aircon/a fan would have been nice as it was very warm throughout the night. Also, the pub had a strong smell of fish which was unpleasant. Breakfast food was good but could have been better, and a later time for breakfast would have been appreciated on a Sunday.

Really gorgeous

The full English breakfast was absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked. The menu mentioned pastries but none in sight.

The building is beautiful and a lot of money has been spent on creating the lovely accommodation. There are a few simple things that would make it a 10/10!. Sort out the scuffs and marks on the walls. Such an easy and quick thing to sort (even when doing a room changeover), covering up nail/screw holes. It would make so much difference. More 'personality' in the rooms. They are wonderful, large spaces but a bit 'bare'. Have more to tie them to their room names , more pictures, more colour.

Short hop stay at Watershio Down

Lovely location and nice spacious room with comfy bed .

Breakfast noted as starting at 08:00 in the room booklet but when we arrived just before 08:00 we were told we were early and didn't get our cooked breakfast until around 08:45.

Excellent, restful accommodation and surroundings - slightly let down by evening meal.

The breakfast was very good. The location was beautiful and secluded. The accommodation was amazing - one of half a dozen wood-framed ensuite rooms - beautiful wood and stone, very roomy double bedroom, huge double bed, and very large ensuite with walk-in shower. Also relaxing enjoying a drink on the veranda just outside the bedroom admiring the countryside.

We found the evening meal a bit disappointing and over-priced - more like pub food than the gourmet experience we'd expected. The burger tasted like an ordinary burger despite the menu promising "rib and chuck beef burger". The cheeseboard (at £11.50) was definitely overpriced, with the soft blue cheese tasting very bland.

Very good

Nothing to really complain about. I think it's just under new management, and they are finding their feet.

Needs a major update but the largest problem was the menu we booked on the on the website feedback and the food was very disappointing.

Anniversary at watership down inn with visit to gin distillery

The rooms in the garden. Felt as if you were actually staying in the woods. Easy to find and 10 minutes walking distance to the gin distillery.

Small towels. Everything else it room was great,. Breakfast was OK. No white bread just canary and only one piece given. Sure if we asked we could have had more. It was served first before the main breakfast, no cereals, fruit or yogurt available.

The Watership Down Inn is well worth a visit.

This is an absolute gem of a place to stay. The manager, Dom and the rest of the team are so friendly and professional. Food is great, the rooms are spotlessly clean, comfy bed, hot shower... lovely location. Perfect base for country walks, cycling. Dog friendly... What more could you want?

Very good

Restaurant food was very good.

Breakfast could have offered more healthy choices for those who don’t want cooked. That said I did get some muesli when I asked. The bathroom was a bit tight and the base of the shower had mould and the shower screen wasn’t clean at the bottom of the doors.

Super quiet location and room comfortable and such a good nights sleep. Excellent restaurant food.

Private room with excellent shower facilities. So comfortable and felt homely

It was only a temporary arrangement due to decorating work going on, but I had to walk through someone's "office" space in order to get to my room

Very welcoming staff, comfortable room above an Inn with good food.

Comfortable room, good choice of real beer available and food was good.

Not a major issue but the creaky floorboards in the corridor disturbed my sleep. Also the hoped-for breakfast only started from 8.30 a.m. so I missed it as I had to leave before then for a business meeting. Can we please have normal soap and not just a small bottle of chemical gel?

Nice place but some attention to the small things is needed

Nice friendly staff, room was nice, Evening meal was nice not the service charge though, and it wasn't the cheapest

Breakfast - no cereals were offered so it was cooked or toast, I had only egg beans and has browns and that is ALL I got not two eggs as I asked, or maybe two hash browns bearing in mind I didn't want the whole lot. I though that was a bit miserly as dinner was the opposite; more so when I overheard they wanted to charge people extra for cappuccino, or espresso rather than straight coffee, if like me they stayed and had dinner I don't think it was unreasonable to have those with no additional cost. Shame. The service charge on dinner I cannot disagree with more:-(

The best place to stay for the bombay sapphire distillery

Loved the Watership down theme, all the rooms named after characters was a nice touch. Very modern cabin like rooms with very comfy bed and great bathroom. Breakfast was excellent

Not a major issue but rooms felt a little too warm. But that’s probably because we couldn’t figure out the heating controls opposed to anything else
