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.

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.
