I stayed in a single room, the room was surprisingly spacious and well laid out and had a decent sized bathroom. Couple of things to note: Room was on the third floor, there is no elevator. Not too much of a problem as the stairs are not steep or narrow. Room was in the”attic space” so being just over 5’ tall wasn’t too much of a problem, but anyone taller may find it a bit of a problem. Room had great skylights with really good black out blinds! Hotel is showing a little wear and tear, but considering the age of the building it’s nothing major. It has a lot of charm. Food was also really good, and reasonably priced. Reception area is very welcoming with a fire going the entire time (I visited in Jan!). It’s also a nice place to sit and read with a drink (bar is handy being right next door) Big bonus is the ease of getting around, it’s less than 5 mins from the train station and about a 5 min walk into the town. It’s also only a 35-40 min walk to Jane Austen’s house and Chawton House. Which is another bonus! Overall would 100% stay here again! ![Room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cb2c5772-fb52-491b-83c2-06b2e0cc71a0-1768920918958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast (made to order one day and Buffet the next) both were delicious!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa5c3767-8887-4918-a11d-9fa66488f006-1768920917554.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Large and spacious property with good parking](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31ed56b2-492d-42c7-81b1-b4d054f2ac5b-1768920919337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Reception area - very welcoming ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/319c81fc-89d7-44f7-bbf5-a6d1c9f8ab93-1768920920417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel and friendly staff, near to the town. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel, with very helpful staff. ##### Sue Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 10 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel at such a good price fantastic breakfast and a lovely setting ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An excellent value hotel.

We booked for its proximity to the Mid Hants railway station which is just around the corner . It was very convenient for the old high street and we will definetly visit again . A nice corner room gave us good light .We cannot comment on the restaurant as it does Sunday lunches not evening meals that day. Overall NO downsides on our single nights stay with convenient parking arrangements. ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jason 25 Sept 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort This hotel is tired. The rooms are in desperate need of a refurb, from iron burn marks on the carpet to old mattresses. The breakfast was ok and staff are really nice, but that doesn’t make up for the facts that the rooms are poor. ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 18 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Alton House Delight Lovely hotel in the centre of town.
