Great place to stay as a stop off for a night en route to the Isle of Wight. Rich in history and heritage and has a rustic charm and character while being well appointed with high end bedrooms, modern bathrooms great showers and really comfortable beds. We had 2 rooms one bigger one smaller and both were great value. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and great service. Overall a very good experience.

A beautiful Pub Hotel

It’s a very peaceful Hampshire village with a good ambience and a historic pub that rents out six rooms that are full of character. There are nice touches like slippers and bathrobes provided along with an Nespresso machine and a good smart TV. Also, excellent bath salts etc to make your stay enchanting. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and made with the best artisan produce. All in all highly recommended.

Fabulous Historical Inn

My husband and I went for a Friday to Sunday weekend break. We had a wonderful time. The staff were amazing all so friendly, welcoming and polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was beautiful and so cosy. The food and drink were excellent. We enjoyed it so much we cannot wait to return for another visit.

Had to eat earlier than requested because kitchen closed early. Good, though a little expensive, fish and chips. Enjoyed the stay. Room assigned was certainly quirky in a good way. Didn't get chance to drink the complementary beer.

Lovely Sunday night stay at a charming Inn. The staff were very polite and friendly and the breakfast was excellent. The room was a little hot but there was a Dyson fan which worked well. In the bedroom were Coffee and tea making facilities and an iron and ironing board. There was no wardrobe but there was a hanging rail ( definitely ok for an overnight stay). I took my own hairdryer and didn’t see one in the room. Plenty of plugs available and a large TV. The bed was comfortable and bedding and towels clean. The bathroom was more than adequate with a large shower and shampoo and body wash provided. Breakfast had a good continental selection and a choice of hot breakfasts. It was very tasty .. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate in coming back .

Would not return

Our stay didn’t start too well, we had booked 2 rooms 6 weeks prior to our stay, one room for two adults and one room for two adults and a child. When we checked in we were given two rooms both with one double bed and no bed for the child. Luckily they had one room left which was big enough to accommodate two adults and child. The staff were very good and attentive. The room we had was very compact with peeling wallpaper hanging from one of the walls and dimly lit which is great if you just want ambient lighting but with no light by the bedside it was very awkward to read in bed. Bathroom was very nice with a lovely shower although the toilet flush handle was broken. Tea and coffee making facilities were great. The only other negative was the constant drone of what sounded like an extraction fan going all night. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel as I would not return.

Disappointing

Nice room , check in messy - you have it wait for the bar staff to become free . Breakfast disappointing and under cooked - no one in the breakfast area to raise this with ! . Nothing on the buffet was topped up and took over half hour to be offered coffee and for the order to be taken . Comfy quiet room but improvements are needed.
