Lovely hotel and would stay again. Areas are a little dated and with simple, cheap changes like new shower mats in the bath would make the rooms so much better (these look mouldy underneath)

Convenient for Jane Austin House.

Nice hotel, in excellent condition throughout. Plenty of parking. Very handy for Jane Austin House and Gilbert White’s House & Garden. Breakfast excellent. Didn’t dine at hotel, so unable to comment. Alton itself was not particularly appealing, but convenient. Very reasonably priced.
