Mapledurwell Holidays from £286

Evening meal waitress was fantastic. Bit of mould in the bathroom. Room was hotter than the sun when we arrived!

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

Lovely small hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient. Great cooked breakfast.

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!

Although the outside looks run down, the refurb in the rooms is nice. Once outside is freshened up, a few hanging baskets, tidy up etc, it will look more inviting. Just need a few tweaks. We were in room 7, twin room. Needs a bedside cabinet between the beds . Maybe a dressing table and mirror, for when you're getting ready. Shelf in bathroom would be handy. Bathroom needed cleaning around the floor edge. Bedroom could have done with a hoover. Bed soooo comfy. The lady greeted us and got our room ready early for us. Pub garden is fabulous. We ate at the pub. Best wrap i ve ever had. Will definitely stay again. Thankyou
