Our room was well presented and looked lovely and enjoyable range of drinks and snacks available. Quality of the bed was terrible!! We did tell the manager of this issue as we're returning next week. Felt like due to the fact that we had booked via Expedia, and although I booked an upgrade room, that we didn't get the best quality of room and bed.

To be honest, I did like the place, but I can’t put my finger on why when we arrived to check-in was easy we ordered some food we both had steaks. I asked for mine to be rare it was well done by the time I got my steak it was perfect but my wife had by then finished.. breakfast was okay but I asked for my eggs to be soft specifically I had to send them back by the time I got my breakfast my wife had finished. I found the food not very good and expensive. We both had prawn cocktails, £8.50 there were five prawns.. in the room there was a combination shower but the tap missing off of one of the appliances so you couldn’t use it. I did like the room the furniture and how it was laid out ..but the roomwas very warm but they-provide a lovely fan. The location was wonderful and very convenient for Winchester. I did like the place and I probably would go back and all these comments really are for the Hotel to try and help none of it bothered me that much but I know it would a lot of people. Just my honest opinion.
