We stayed here for one night after a day in Winchester. A nice enough hotel, with staff pleasant enough. The room we stayed in was small but well kept. The main issue we had was that the room was that next to a staff run through, meaning doors were slammed constantly. Further, there was no air conditioning, and the room we were in at the bottom floor was next to a busy beer table and had lots and lots of mosquitoes, meaning we were bitten to heck! I’d personally avoid this place and find an alternative.

Everything an English inn should be

Excellent traditional English inn with lots of charm and character. The comfortable, warm room on a freezing January night was most welcome, as were the open log fires in the bar/restaurant. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating and the food was to a very good standard. The Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Bitter was an unexpected bonus !

This B&B was a great little find for our overnight stay. Room was comfortable and clean with a super comfy bed. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. The pub was busy when we arrived and seemed very popular, if you fancy food or a drink it all looked great. Breakfast was the highlight, I had the Avacado on toast and my partner had the cooked breakfast.. one of the best he’d ever had he said!!

Just off the South Downs Way

Great place to stay and convenient for the South Downs Way, I had a very smat bedroom with bath and shower on suite. The food was very good though a bit of a limited menu but enough for most people I would think.

Staff were disinterested and unhelpful. The room was grubby and needed a good clean, the shower didn't work properly. The countryside views advertised were a road and a car park.
