It’s all in the detail
The woolpack has a lovely welcoming atmosphere.. The food was excellent.. both evening meal and breakfast where cooked beautifully.. To be perfect they just need to get fine details addressed which was mentioned to the manager .. but they we’re not major issues Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful part of the countryside …

We stayed in the family room which was a good set up for us but annoyingly they did not get our messages about non feather bedding which made arrival stressful and the lack of room management was obvious. The rooms themselves were fine but the bathroom was tired and felt a bit grubby in places. You can also hear other rooms quite clearly. The food was very good and we had a lovely family lunch there the following day. So a mixed bag!

Lovely old inn with much character and pleasant surroundings. Helpful staff. Dinner menu was limited but the quality was high. Visit slightly spoilt by a breakfast which had good ingredients but was stone cold.

Disappointing for such an expensive room. Broken toilet seat, bath coming away from the wall, dirty tile grouting, dismal lighting, no coffee machine. Breakfast was OK although there was a poor choice of fruit and no follow-up attention at the tables for eg more coffee.

Was amazing now....
Firstly, I should state that this is a beautiful pub set in amazing countryside with lovely staff and great food but.... I have been staying here for many years on my frequent visits to Southampton. I prefer non-chain hotels and the standard of this place has always impressed me (so too the breakfast!). Unfortunately time has passed and the rooms look quite shabby in places. We have one of the smaller rooms with twin beds and the mattresses were like coffins. There were spiders webs and dust pretty much everywhere and broken fixtures which were patched and should have been replaced. My sons pillow had a huge line of dust on it which we assumed was left from a dryer but it wasn't very nice to look at. Please also be aware that breakfast is served quite late (8.30 onwards) if you're planning to make an early start. I think this is getting on for inconvenient for most people and would recommend they move this to slightly earlier (perhaps on request). Overall I love this place for its cosyness, service and location but will find it difficult to rebook in the future as the rooms are really starting to let it down.

A really nice place to recover from a long walk. Good food for the evening meal and a great breakfast. The outdoor areas could do with a little greenery to complete the peaceful ambience.

Comfortable Stay
The wool pack was a comfortable and warm stay, the deep soak bathtub was definitely a highlight. The breakfast was pleasant and the chef accommodating, the additional continental offerings were a nice touch. The room wasn’t the cleanest, cobwebs in the bathroom and small stains on the bedsheets but otherwise comfortable. Small details such as the wifi password not being provided in the room and no milk left with the tea and coffee were frustrating oversights.

Needs little tweaks to justify price
Nice room with really nice bath tub! Couple of things though need tweaking - the teas and coffee were not refilled in the room plus no UHT milk. The room should probably have netflix given the price, flowers out the front of building were dead, pillows in the room are cheap and for some reason the safety exit light in the room gave a bright green glow making it hard to sleep! Just little things but at £230/night I expected better. Food in the restaurant was nice.

Great stay at the woolpack. Fantastic dinner and breakfast and brilliant staff who were all super helpful. The decor in the pub and the bedrooms is very nice, the only negative is that our bathroom could have done with a bit of tlc. Having said that the cleanliness was spot on.

Lovely Inn in a beautiful location
Woolpack inn is in a beautiful location. The inn itself is lovely, great food, great outside areas and the staff are really helpful. I would definitely return but I wouldn’t stay in the same room (Woodcock). It was just too small and with twin beds pushed together there was no room for another bedside table. There is also a noise problem with the water pipes set in a cupboard in the corner of the room so anyone running a tap etc in the other rooms causes the pipes to vibrate. I just felt this room didn’t offer value for money at £200 a night but as we booked only a few days before a bank holiday weekend I assume this was the only room they had available. So I would definitely return as long as I had the option of a different room

Had a lovely stay in a beautiful location. Bed was really comfortable. Great power shower. Good blend of tea and coffee in the room although a bit stimpy on the sugar. Staff were lovely, very helpful nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great too and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

A pleasant stay.
Overnight stay, en-route to a Family day out. Lovely quiet location, pretty looking, well kept grounds. Check-in was easy, and all staff were very pleasant throughout stay. Food was ok, no reason to complain, but burgers were a little dry. Rooms were nice in decoration, but cleaning g could be improved. The kettle was very dusty, as well as windowsill, there were a few spiders and cobwebs in our Family room, bathroom tile grout needs a refresh to remove mould, extractors need cleaning and dead flies need removing from light fittings. Also not a reason for us to complain, but in the smaller of the family rooms, we could hear ever single word from the people talking in the room next door whilst we laid in bed. Overall a pleasant stay, a few improvement could be made by the owners, but would still recommend.

some issues to address for the price
I like to start with positives, so check in was friendly and efficient, and the room was tidy. The bathroom was relatively clean but showing some signs of age around the edges,dirty mastic in corners and not sparkling, however hygenically speaking it was fine. The toiletries provided were high quality and plenty for one night. Sleeping proved difficult for both of us for several reasons, the mattress was tired and lacked much support, the bed frame creaked when moving, we were downstairs and could here people moving upstairs both with footsteps and creaking floor, but by far the worst point was the incredibly bright green light in the room which could not be switched off. I assume it was connected to the emergency lighting, but it certainly made it very difficult to sleep. After a difficult night we were greeted by the chef for breakfast, who was friendly and cooked a great full breakfast, however for anybody wanting a light breakfast. i.e. toast, jam, yogurt ,pastries etc, they were not there...the only option being porridge. So to sum up, I would say not a great place to stay considering the cost of £200+ per night...tbh even at £100 I probably wouldnt have stayed because of the light issue and noise....sorry Woolpack
