The hotel, pub was absolutely perfect. The staff were excellent especially Tarik excuse me if not spelt correctly. All staff were extremely attentive. Room was so cozy, a little in the warm side but we didn’t see the thermostat as slightly hidden. We ate at the pub on Friday, food, drinks all excellent. Breakfast was fresh and hot. We will definitely be back.
Cozy pub

The most disgustingly dirty place I have ever stayed in. Clearly hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Dust everywhere, leaves, feathers and bits of rubbish over the floors. Hair from someones hairbrush sitting on the windowsill. Kettle disgusting. The most revoltingly stained duvet I have ever seen.

Disappointing Stay after friends Wedding

Wanted to check in late as coming from a wedding and was told the latest check in was 11, slight inconvenience . Room was very tired, broken shower door, smelly drains, peeling wallpaper, creaky floorboards, warm cold water tap, black mould above the shower. Full English breakfast and teas included, very average as bacon and sausage overcooked. The reviews and website did a lot of heavy lifting for this property which badly needs work and was massively overpriced at £150 for the night.

Disappointing

Room was disappointing, paint peeling off the wall , room was above the kitchen so woken up very early with the noise from below. Room was very hot - window opened onto a flat roof so not safe to leave open as could be accessible . Food was disappointing . Wasn’t asked how my stay was at checkout ….. poor value for money ( totally over priced for what it is )

Overnight Stay

Slightly disappointed with our stay , quaint local pub in the village , staff were superb, there was a mix up on arrival as we had booked a 3 person room and we had been allocated a 2 person room. They did suggest putting a mattress on the floor which was not acceptable as our son has steel rods in his back, but one 3 person room had not checked in so the manager switched the booking to that one and after a further delay of an hour we checked in. Didn't really sleep that well as the bed was noisy and heavily worn and then in the morning we waited an hour for breakfast after ordering which was far too long and they were severely understaffed... I actually felt sorry for them and the housekeeper helped out as the poor lad was on his own. Rooms a bit tatty now, and as I said above the bed was soft and heavily worn squeaking away with every movement and TVs didn't work very well. One didn't work at all. What staff did work there were very supportive of the business but the site needs investment now and the rooms need a makeover with new beds. Unfortunately we will not be rebooking in the future which is a pity.

Great little getaway. We stayed overnight, and had dinner in the restaurant. The food was great, and the staff were fantastic. Close to Winchester, but far enough to have a real countryside vibe!
