Very good

What a beautiful hotel. Our rooms were incredibly comfortable and quiet, as I had asked for. The garden at the back is lovely and there are plenty places within the hotel to sit and relax. Very comfortable. We will come again.
1. Had to shower in my own filth as shower would not drain
2. Flushing the toilet was a hit and miss as it would probably work once in 5 attempts
3. Carpets throughout the hotel either need replacing or a thorough clean.
4. The interior looks dated
I wasnt sure what to expect from a small town "Boarding House"... well i was pleasantly surprised - lovely roo., great facilities, comfy bed, lots of storage, kitchenette, good shower. Its in a nice environment, bar/restaurant has good food and better service, breakfast was varied and plentiful.
We stayed here 7 years ago and thought it was exceptional. It does not seem that much has been done since. Consequently the carpeting was really old, the mattress uncomfortable and the restaurant service seriously understaffed.
Lovely friendly hotel in a great location, breakfast was extra but very nice.

Stay in Winchester
An average hotel. Great location, lovely garden. Room dated and no thought for design. Bit mouldy around the shower door. Minimal basic toiletries. Reception staff formulaic, no warm welcome.
Overnight stay for my mothers 86th birthday, was lucky enough to have an early check in and I was relieved that there were spaces in the on-site car park . We had a very pleasant room on the ground floor overlooking the garden.
Breakfast was excellent, very fresh and plenty of choice.Staff were very friendly . The garden is really lovely , peaceful with plenty of chairs. All in all we both had a wonderful short stay and the hotel’s proximity to the high street was an added bonus.
