4 /5 Chris Davis: Country house hotel near Basingstoke. Public rooms nicely presented, staying true to the buildings Victorian heritage. My room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice touches with quality tea and coffee, free mineral water and proper milk in the fridge and very decent toiletries. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was beautifully presented and tasty. Good wine selection. Given its setting, its very popular as a wedding venue. There was a wedding on the evening I stayed, but you wouldnt have known. It seems very well organised so that theres no problem with noise. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of hot and cold dishes and again excellent, friendly service. The only thing I noticed was that my bathroom could do with updating to match the rest of the room. Clean, but a bit tired. Overall, a great place to stop either overnight or for a few days.
