Lovely historic hotel with great staff. No air conditioning which is a challenge in very hot weather.
Lisa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were very impressed with our short stay here as we required somewhere to sleep after a wedding that was nearby. We booked 2 rooms for our family and both were very spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and thought we’d missed the breakfast after getting up late but were able to still get brunch!

Convenient location but not a great place to stay

6/10 Good

The pictures are deceiving. The photos make you believe that the hotel is much nicer than it actually is in real life. Every room door looks best up and the fire doors look like you are entering a penitentiary or hospital for the insane.
Wendy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were friendly and helpful. I found the room very restful with a comfortable bed and pillows. It had a homely feeling. Some of the public corridors needed a fresh lick of paint but it was clean and the art work lifted the feel of it. The cooked breakfast was excellent - best I have had in a hotel. I would use this hotel again. A very pretty town and area.
Sophie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very quiet room and a very comfortable bed. Excellent location. Room wasn't ready when I arrived (4pm). Very warm in the room but a desk fan helped to keep me cool.

Solo Business Traveller

Arrived late and left early. Breakfast was excellent, bed was comfortable, shower was hot. Carpark was full when I arrived at 2140 however.
Iain, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Been there before and know Alton. Great place to stay. Pub downstairs. Pub is not too big to be too noisy. Breakfast is a amazing. Had a large single room. Will stay there again. Only one little thing: wish there would have been a shower curtain to prevent water on bathroom floor.

Fine stay

Comfortable, good food and service. No problems. Clean. Friendly, efficient manageress. No view from window,,(inner alcove) but it was November!
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Only negative aspect was the room facing the High street was some excessive/loud vehicle exhaust noise one night. Better double glazing would help. Room was clean & tidy with excellent bath and shower. Very comfortable bed and handy room fan, which was also very quiet as was needed due to heat and limited opening of windows. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Lovely inn close to the Jane Austen House Museum

Beautiful location and it’s a charming old inn, but the service was just so-so. They did keep my bad for me while I walked to the Jane Austen House Museum, which was nice and convenient. They have a lovely restaurant/ bar on the main level, but unfortunately the one night I stayed over, they had a 50th birthday party taking place. The DJ music was thumping and vibrating my room until 11:00 or midnight, and I couldn’t get to sleep until it all quieted down. There was no warning or mention of that taking place at check in, or apologies the next morning. Otherwise, I loved the place.
Hilary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were lovely and welcoming and I cannot fault the interactions I had with them. However the room I stayed in was not clean- marks on the bed sheets, bed not made properly, toothpaste marks in the bathroom and black marks over the towels. The tea and coffee selection provided was a nice touch but two packets of coffee had been opened and put back in the pot. I went to tell the staff and asked for my room to be cleaned and bedding changed, to which they were very apologetic and assured me this would be sorted while I was out. Unfortunately only the duvet sheet was changed, though I asked for clean bedding and towels. It was dissapointing having asked politely for these things to be the basic standard anyone would expect when staying at any location.
