Our first impression with the staff was unexpected! We’d just arrived to drop off our luggage and the gentleman at the front desk offered to take our luggage to the room as we were crunched for time. A cab was waiting to take us to Highclere. Our room was cozy, clean and exceptionally stocked with clean towels, tea kettle, delicious coffee and tea. Dinner was great, with plenty of beer and wine options. Breakfast was outstanding along with the cafe latte and flat white. If we ever travel to this part of England again we would certainly stay at the Bourne Valley Inn

Disappointing state of room at Bourne Valley Inn.

Have previously stayed at Bourne Valley Inn and enjoyed it for a visit to Highclere Castle. However this trip which was again for a Highclere event was spoilt as the room was cold and damp. The bedding was similarly damp and water was running down the windows. The Management immediately agreed a full refund and tried to arrange alternative accomodation locally but it was so busy we could not even get into the car park. We went home very disappointed.

The location was great only a 10-15 drive to Andover. The property is lovely, has a really comfy, cosy feel to it. The beer garden is lovely. The staff are super friendly and I believe the manager or owner is very friendly and welcoming. Only downside was that we stayed during the heat wave and as it’s an older building there’s no air conditioning. They were kind enough to put a fan in the room but was very hot and the bathroom for very stuffy as the extractor fan wasn’t the best. Otherwise a really really lovely stay

Perfect location and lodgings

Only two words of advice - stay here. The staff is super helpful, the rooms are comfy, and the setting is beautiful. Enjoyed a lovely walk on the trails leading from the Inn past farms, a pond, horses. Met the most delightful locals along the way. Clean and comfy with a delightful "pub" restaurant.

Handy place to stay. Great food, was told no need to book, but ended up in the function room on my own! Awful noise from some sort of fan throughout the night, handy they supplied earplugs!

The staff were fabulous, parking easy, shower powerful and the breakfast was excelllent. The rooms are tired, the bed was very soft and lumpy and the walls and ceiling paper thin. The lovely staff made up for some of the shortcomings.

Review on our two night stay.

This is our second time visiting as we loved the first time. We stayed in a different room, which was much smaller than our last one, we have no glasses in our room for the water that was provided to us, so we had to ask for these. It was a shame and a disappointment on this visit. The staff weren’t friendly and welcoming upon arrival and when we checked out. Breakfast the first morning was nice, but the second morning my partner ordered a cooked breakfast and and a cappuccino, the waitress told her she couldn’t have a cappuccino as it wasn’t included with the breakfast we explained we got one the day before and her response was ‘well he shouldn’t have done that’, it was a shame but we understand it wasn’t included, but there could have been a better way on informing us. When the full English came out my partners plate looked a little bare, there were no hash browns, we pointed this out to the waitress and she responded ‘we’ve ran out’ at no point upon ordering, during the service and receiving our food did she mentioned there were no hash browns, it would have been appropriate and convenient for us if we were told before the food was giving to us as we would have changed our order. We also had to ask for sauces and at no point did the waitress as if we needed anything, or how our breakfast was. The overall experience with the staff from start to finish had been a disappointment and we now unfortunately don’t feel we will return in the future.

Excellent food, but need refresh on accommodation!

Excellent food, bed very comfortable. Bathroom cleanliness could be better..last occupants used towels still hanging on bathroom door. Blind on window in unfortunate condition, and unlikely to raise it due to window right beside drive and near noisy kitchen. Generally requires a bit of refresh/paint throughout. Lovrly staff and excellent food at both dinner and breakfast.
