Comfortable, welcoming and a little different.

A really nice place to stay, proving that quirky doesn’t have to be weird. Comfortable bed, welcoming team, great food (perfect fish pie) served with a smile by Jess 😊

Easy check in and the hostess was friendly and helpful. The room had pretty much anything you could wish for in it. Very well equipped room, lovely linen and a super comfy bed with different firmness of pillows. Nespresso machine, mini fridge, DAB radio, large TV, Dyson fan, Iron, Hairdrier, all great! Checkout was easy the next day. Just a shame we couldn’t have stayed for longer and made better use of everything. Many thanks!

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.

Excellent spot for exploring Winchester and Downs

Lovely place and enjoyed the restaurant food and drink at lunch and for dinner. The burger and pork chop were particularly good. The rooms are good but I would say it's function over comfort. Beds were fine just a little sparce and nothing comfy to sit on apart from the bed really. So not a room to stay for a bit of a pamper stay ...but great if you are out and about. Amenities all present and correct and liked the DAB radio touch

Wonderfully themed place with great service.

What a great place! Themed with Horses! Who knew? Fantastic service and very excellent food, both dinner (evening) and the breakfast. Clean rooms, comfortable and a good shower. The dinner service team were great, the place gets quite busy (not surprised) and the hosts were still very attentive and efficient to serve the table. Overall a very nice place to stay and a thankyou to Belle (waitress) for the service we received.

Our experience

We have visited this accommodation before and was excellent. But unfortunately on this latest visit we had several issues, With the service of the room and the lack of concern from weekend staff. The pub is extremely nice and the food very good as was the service in the pub . Just not the same with the service of our room .After our complaint i hope they recognise this and amend the issues in future.

Great potential, disappointing experience. Our evening meal didn’t arrive, we asked about the food after 45 mins, and then again after another 45 mins, when they realised the order hadn’t gone through. Young staff not trained, no table system or else it would have been noticed, there was sufficient staff for covers. Surprised the Manager did not apologise for the error but left it to a young member of staff to do so, would have expected him to have acknowledged the error. Nice decor and ambiance, plenty of potential if the service element is sorted. Lighting in bedrooms is poor and needs improving.
