A budget hotel which I am pleased to recommend.
Pros:

A regular here. Staff always friendly. Rooms clean. Bed comfortable. I must thank the barman! On the first night I moaned there was rarely real ale in the bar. The following night, there it was on tap, and delicious too. Thanks.

Cons:

Food is often variable. Depends on the chef. Restaurant often quiet. The other Greene King Pub just a few minutes walk away is always packed. There the food is much cheaper and more consistent in quality, and has a better selection of drinks. Maybe the 'powers that be' should reflect on this. You may then find the bar and the Restaurant will become busier and more profitable with a rethink of the menu and prices. I love staying at the Raven and this comment is meant to be helpful rather than a criticism.

Very enjoyable. However except for breakfast we ate elsewhere.
Pros:

The location is fantastic as located in a lovely village with shops, pubs, hairdressers, barbers etc. Also just a couple of minutes walk away from the train station. Basingstoke town centre is just a few minutes on the train.

Cons:

The menus don’t indicate foods that are gluten free which is very disappointing as other establishments manage to ensure there is plenty of choice for us Coeliacs.
