Served its purpose and good value for money.

Great evening meal in the pub. Fish platter was amazing. It was perfect for what we wanted

Needed a bit more cleaning. Lots of cobwebs. Wardrobe was hilarious. Suitable for a midget 😂😂 Windows were old and wouldn’t open. There was a fan but still too hot especially upstairs.

Great little spot for a stopover - friendly staff

Comfortable and being located at the pub made it easy to organise meals. If was a wet and windy day when we stayed so being able to go into the pub and enjoy a drink next to the fire was fantastic

Nothing really

Pleasant

The garden of the pub next to it is very nice. The people working there were really nice! The were some board games offered for free.

The bathroom needs a renovation and you can’t open any window.

Fab supper at the Inn. Very spacious room

We shopped in Winchester then drove 20 mins to this venue. Staff were very friendly and space within the room was plentiful. We loved being able to walk across the forecourt to the pub and have supper and the food was very good.

Although the room is spacious it is rather drab. We had Suite 2 and light from the small window is miminal. It was made worse by the plain decor of white walls, grey carpet and grey bedding. It needs pictures on the wall, perhaps a local artist displaying their work and floral / lighter bedding to lighten and brighten. Would have liked a hairdryer too.

I wouldn’t go back to this hotel

Lower floor bed was very soft, 2nd floor beds was more comfortable

There was no ventilation on the 1st floor all windows was sealed up with paint, NO SMOKE ALARMS which was worrisome, 2nd floor very little ventilation unable to sleep only 1 fan for 2 floors

Very poor

The room has steps so no good for disabled people and the bed was very close to the wall so the wheelchair will not go through to the bathroom which was in a bad condition the tower rack was falling down and there were pubic hairs in the bathroom the bedroom was through a storage room very poor and definitely not a disable room so bad I would demand my money back

Freindly pub with comfortable rooms.

The staff were really welcoming when we arrived & we got checked in quickly. The room was really nice & comfortable with everything we needed. The bar staff were really helpful & made space for us to play darts. Great selection of ciders in the bar. We had our evening meal in the pub which was very tasty. Overall this is a great place to stay and will be back.

Wi-Fi wasn't very good but wasn't an issue.

Worst ever.

Pots of porridge n coffee in the room .

No fire alarm unsecured large mirrors at bottom of slippy wood stairs. Broken shower door came off hurt my daughter. Uncovered tea bags in room and in entrance to room cleaning products left on show. Dirty windows and bathroom very damp. Batteries in remote control flat two chairs for four guest's. Hole in bathroom floor underneath floor sinking as you walked on it.

Great Place, friendly staffs

1. Friendly staffs: they were really kind and helpful 2. Cleanness: it was refurbished recently, very clean 3. Location: travellers for Winchester(like me) or Southampton, the Dolphin would be one of the best accommodations

Ideal place for our stay with bikes.

Very comfortable and plenty of space. Staff were very accommodating with storing our bikes and there was a handy electrical socket to charge the bike batteries.

The breakfast was unappetising and dull.

Location for peppa pig world was good.

Filthy, not safe for young children, no fresh air as all windows are sealed shut. The beds are the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! Bathroom floor is ripped, paint peeling off walls and the radiator in the bathroom is hanging off!!

Really nice,

Lovely decor, cosy and nice layout. Lovely setting. Nice that it adjoins but separate from the pub. Lovely pub too. Very friendly.

Handtowel would have been nice. Also a shower mat outside the shower. One of the beds the springs felt quite loose.
