Nice stopover before cruise

Ideal location for pre-cruise stopover. Easy access to Winchester plus food menu was imaginative. Breakfast included was plentiful and freshly prepared. Friendly staff and the room was a high standard.

6/10 Good

An honest opinion.

To be honest, I did like the place, but I can’t put my finger on why when we arrived to check-in was easy we ordered some food we both had steaks. I asked for mine to be rare it was well done by the time I got my steak it was perfect but my wife had by then finished.. breakfast was okay but I asked for my eggs to be soft specifically I had to send them back by the time I got my breakfast my wife had finished. I found the food not very good and expensive. We both had prawn cocktails, £8.50 there were five prawns.. in the room there was a combination shower but the tap missing off of one of the appliances so you couldn’t use it. I did like the room the furniture and how it was laid out ..but the roomwas very warm but they-provide a lovely fan. The location was wonderful and very convenient for Winchester. I did like the place and I probably would go back and all these comments really are for the Hotel to try and help none of it bothered me that much but I know it would a lot of people. Just my honest opinion.
Nick, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Too hot

We have stayed here before. The prices seem to have gone up. we did not feel we could justify breakfast as well. It was good last time though. Supper was pleasant although the portions seemed smaller than last time. However our main gripe was the temperature in the room. It was so hot that we got very little sleep. They did provide a dyson fan but that only recirculates the hot air. If summers continue to get hotter, air conditioning will be imperative here.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable room, tasty food, good service and good value for money.
