Disliked: Room comfort
Good enough location but tired decoration.
Nice enough pub. (Although £32.00 for 2 pints and 2 double vodka and Coke is a tad on the expensive side) The public areas on the way to the rooms are very tired and need painting / new carpet. The room we were in (4) was ok except for the iron having a damaged plug and the water in the shower and taps being dangerous. If you run the water every 10 seconds or so the water stops and then starts again and it’s scalding hot for half a second - bit of a shock when in the shower!

The staff were lovely, we really could not fault them. The place itself was quaint. However, the food service was quite slow, and while some of the food was great, there were a couple of disappointments - one of the desserts was like rubber, sadly. While the place itself is nice and the staff really try hard, here are a few suggestions: * Warn tall people about very low ceilings for some rooms when booking so they can consider options... * If a very large party is dining as a one off, potentially reduce service or close the restaurant to other diners as the wait can be a little silly. * Potentially chat with the cleaning staff as the rooms were pretty grubby in places - our socks were a bit gross from walking around the room. * It sounds entitled, but maybe consider nicer bread at breakfast or at least for the cooked/hot menu options. Sliced (pre packed?) bread is not very 2024, maybe consider at least having sourdough for the main dishes :/ * Maybe switching from concentrated to fresh orange juice might be a low cost way of also improving the experience. * Maybe it's not solvable as it's an old setup, but the plumbing is a bit off - the shower kept starting and stopping and going hot/cold. I think we might have paid over the odds for our room, and maybe at the normal price point this is alright, but for >£200 a night it wasn't quite up to the standard of other hotels we've stayed in at that price. It was fine, but we won't be going out of our way to return. Sorry!

Good location and excellent service but poor sleep
We were in room 2. Probably closest to the main road. Sash windows would not shut properly and without secondary glazing the traffic noise kept us awake so despite a nice room and a very friendly service we didn’t sleep well. When we mentioned it in the morning , whilst listened to politely there was no empathy or apology which was disappointing.

The good. The rooms were very Barker and stonehouse in style which we liked. There must have been a good use of photo shop on the exterior of the property as it was very tired. Breakfast was good as well not the best i have had. Dont order poached eggs if you want them runny as mine were like bullets. The bad. My wife was overcharged on her drinks a medium wine nd 1/2 of Fosters was £14.40 but she never gets receipts. We explained to the young girl serving at the bar and she said a large wine was £13.10 so that made my Fosters £1.10. I told her we had been charged £9.30 for a medium wine and a pint of Fosters by mistake but she didnt really get it and didnt seem interested. We also went to a Primal scream concert at the Mount in wasing which was half a mile away. We tried to book a taxi to come back it was quoted at £35 to £40 as they come from outside the village. We took our lives in our own hands and walked like many others. There was some pavement at the start and finish but nothing in between. I think this hotel was overpriced even though we saved £30 on the expedia App still £191 for a night we arrived at 2.45 pm to check in but our room wasnt available If we go again i would stay 3 miles away for £120 less and drive to the venue.

Disappointing breakfast service
Room was great everything you needed and clean. Service was disappointing at breakfast. 7am start and I had 25min to get a drink and hot food, however on arrival there was no coffee or milk to have some cereal. This arrive at 7:15 so helped myself to some cereal as I would now not have time to eat and hot food. I was then asked at 7:20 if i want hot breakfast but declined due to time. If breakfast is going to served from 7am then guests should be able have a hot drink and meal within 30mins. As this was a business trip I needed to be elsewhere for a meeting. Not a great start to the day.
