Breakfast needs more choice especially the fruit, the pears were hard as rock, no bananas, no fruit salad. No beans for ages, they need to keep an eye on the hotplates. Invest in a coffee machine so there's a variety. Maybe also a bell at the downstairs bar.

Food items missing from breakfast buffet on first morning.On our last morning (today),we were instructed to sit in a place we didn’t want to,but the position we wished to be seated wasn’t occupied or shown to be reserved.We’d sat in that area the previous 2 mornings without a problem Asked to have tea & milk replenished in our room ,but still hadn’t been done on our return in the evening.I complained about state of bed mattress,It was damaged & sunken,I had to put a pillow over the depression.Still not comfy & it affected my sleep.Told that all the mattresses were in the process of being replaced but shouldn’t really get to that stage of affecting guests comfort.

My experience with this hotel has been really bad. I did a check-in on Dec 11th evening. 1. The receptionist has an attitude which makes us feel that I'm at service for her. 2. I booked a "Executive Double Room, 1 King Bed" which provides "1 King Bed" rated at £81. The Hotel provided me a "Superior Triple Room" which had a "1 Double Bed and 1 Single Bed" which was rated at £67. If I paid extra for a King size bed, the comment from the receptionist and hotel is that "While the room categories differ in features, the sleeping comfort and bed dimensions remain consistent across both types." I clearly don't understand the statement. Why will I take up a double bed instead of King bed when extra payment was done for it. 3. The washbasin sink floods with water after a morning brush. 4. Next room kids make noise even at 2 am. Some of the pros - 1. Good location. 2. Above average breakfast. 3. Easy access to Marwell zoo. 4. Plenty of car park space.

Staff friendly nice location and room fine. One gripe is that the breakfast is a rip off at price charged not a great standard. Need to get a new supplier for the sausages (terrible ). We also had the festive afternoon tea which was below satisfactory.
