Hotels near Gilbert White's House and Garden and The Oates

"Lots of parking and easy. Friendly staff. Good range of breakfast, a little higgledy piggledy layout and had to ask for supplies to be replenished as often empty but done quickly. Nice relaxing emvironment. A range of activities, easy access by car to shopping. If a pool table was installed this would be a great staycation."

"The only issue we had was when we finished our meal in the bar the plates and cutlery were not cleared from our table and were still on the table when we left the bar at the end of the evening"

"Shops very close, clean room although very dated"

"There was NO running water. I was there for 4 days. We were given bottled water to flush the loo. Bottled water to wash ourself. Bottled water to brush our teeth. Absolutely disgusting. Staff blamed it on too many visitor's using the water. Do NOT stay there. It was disgusting. "

"Bit better communication between reception and bar staff, wanted a bucket of ice reception told me to go to the bar and the bar staff said I could only have it if I brought a bottle of Prosecco. "

"No shops near by."

"It's such a shame! The building of the old Mercure hotel holds ok. The double room was spacious, clean, comfortable and with an amazing close view of the Winchester cathedral (practically over its grounds). But there was no milk for the tea in the room and the television did not show a single BBC channel (not even radio stations), had no access to satelite, internet or cable. When I called reception to ask if perhaps there was something I was not doing properly with the remote control, I was asked if the TV was showing other channels. When I said that only commercial channels seemed to be available, I was told that this was what was on offer and that's it. In some way, I'm grateful for the experience because it opened my eyes to how miserable life would be without the BBC service. I'll certainly pay the BBC licence with gusto now! "

"The room we stayed in was very close to the reception.We could hear people talking loudly which disturbed our sleep in more than one occasion.A sound proof door should be there between reception and the ground rooms to minimise or eliminate the sound.We also found dump in the bedroom walls, towards the main window and the bed sheets had holes on it."

"Pleasant enough stay. Room was well sized worh a window that opened. Both bedroom and bathroom were clean. Car parking is free which is rare for hotels in the area. Its also in a rural area so quiet which was perfect. Tea and coffe is a kettle, no coffee machine but this is stated on the he hotel details. There's no daily room servicing so you have to ask if you need anything e.g toilet paper, tea/coffee, towels. The gym facilities were good although you have to pay to use it. A couple of tweaks and this could be a cracking hotel."
