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.
