Pros:

L’hotel e posizionato lungo una via fuori Winchester, ma piena di negozi per ogni necessità.
La struttura è un classico pub inglese con le camere, la nostra situata sul parcheggio del pub, ma molto tranquillo.
La camera è ben attrezzata, grande con la possibilità di avere un lettino aggiuntivo per bambini.
La sera il pub è ben frequentato, la cucina molto buona, fino alle 20.30. La colazione ottima con grande varietà.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

Excellent breakfast

Cons:

Ventillation was an issue, mostly beyond the hotel control. But changes in the window opening and additional fan would help.
