Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en professioneel personeel.
Alles netjes.
Keurig geregeld, bij vragen wordt t gelijk gefixt.
De douchkraan moet je even leren kennen.
1 kamer was met 37 graden wat warm, dus omgeboekt naar de coole vleugel. We zijn 2 nachten terug gegaan zelfs, dus totaal 4 nachten geweest bij tropische temperaturen.
Restaurant ook zeer goed met ontbijt en diner.
Pub voor de locals.
Super centraal als je naar oxford of londen wilt , de trein zit ernaast. Rustige kamers. Geen lawaai. Mooie omgeving ook om te wandelen.
Uitstapje naar cotswold ook leuk, en dichtbij is odiham castel aan te raden.

Cons:

Niets.

Fantastic, will stay again!
Pros:

Fantastic hotel to stay in! The room and bathroom I had were both perfect. The bed was comfortable. I was a solo traveller and felt very comfortable and safe here. Enjoyed exiting the hotel to take the few steps to their pub which is large and pleasant with two pool tables and a dart board. Also live music on the Saturday night. The pub is where the breakfast is in the mornings and I had a full English which was very tasty! As part of purchasing a cooked breakfast you get unlimited access to the continental options which was great. Also because the pub is a separate building to the hotel then it is very quiet and peaceful at night. It’s also located easily close to the train station and has a pretty huge car park. The wifi was fast and reliable. I will happily be back :)

Informed to late about bar and food being closed.
Cons:

Bar and food shut. Unfortunately due to a stroke, we chose the Raven so we did not have to go out and look for food As I am unable to walk far the places we were told to eat was too far for me to walk, meaning we had too drive to get food which is not what we wanted. Annoying part was we did not get an email u till around 11.30 the morning of Travel, by that time we where on the road and gone past the time too cancel and find another room.

Good value and excellent breakfast but wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

The rooms very clean, The bedding was very clean and bed was very comfortable. The location for us was perfect, we wanted to be in Southampton the next morning. We were able to charge our car at a reasonable cost.
The breakfast was excellent. A very good selection and freshly cooked.
Wanted to give it 10 stars as the staff were lovely but it was just lacking on a couple of things.

Cons:

It’s a shame but the reception was in need of a good clean and makeover. I did have to call a couple of times for someone to sort out the room key. The lady that came did apologise and said they were short staffed. The room it self had a very strong smell of air freshener, we thought it was trying to mask a smell of cigarettes 🤷‍♀️.I didn’t complain as I thought for what we paid it was reasonable.
