"No shops near by."

"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! "

"Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and it's a nice hotel but far too warm to sleep. The first room I was given was 25 degrees when I opened the door. The staff helpfully moved me to a room on the other side which was cooler, but I struggled to sleep later as the temperature hovered around 21-22 degrees. The air conditioning is apparently 'centrally controlled' and just did not blow cool air at all."

"Pleasant enough stay. Room was well sized worh a window that opened. Both bedroom and bathroom were clean. Car parking is free which is rare for hotels in the area. Its also in a rural area so quiet which was perfect. Tea and coffe is a kettle, no coffee machine but this is stated on the he hotel details. There's no daily room servicing so you have to ask if you need anything e.g toilet paper, tea/coffee, towels. The gym facilities were good although you have to pay to use it. A couple of tweaks and this could be a cracking hotel."

"Great"

"The hotel is great value for money and has a great gym too. Free parking and affordable drinks at the bar."

"I understand the hotel was very fine in its day, the problem seems to be that its day was a long time ago and nothing has really changed inside. Everything feels very old, and not in a charming way. It feels like the bare minimum amount of staff are in place at any one time to reduce outgoings, there was no information about how to access the pool and gym facilities, either from staff or in room info (gents changing rooms closed when I was there which added to my uncertainty). Nothing was terrible, but nothing was particularly good either"

"Clean. Lovely staff really good breakfast included"

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