Overall it was a pretty average hotel. The foyer is great and there’s a nice area there to drink from the bar. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We tried the spa facilities which were good even though the spa area itself is pretty small. We had a premium room which was a good size but only had a narrow wardrobe for hanging clothes. Most of our clothes stayed in their respective case/overnight bag as there was nowhere to put them in the room. The bathroom had a bath and overhead shower which was basic. When the bathroom was last decorated it was prettily sloppily done as there were splashes of grey paint from the ceiling on the bathroom tiles and also some patches of white still on the bathroom ceiling. We ate dinner in the restaurant one. We had been informed that there was only a limited service on offer between Christmas and New Year and the menu was basically just pub food rather than a four star restaurant and not particularly good pub food either. We ate in Winchester a couple of times during our stay and the quality of food in the pubs there was far superior to that served in the hotel. We also had breakfast on the two mornings we were there which was patchy. They had some decent continental breakfast offers with decent sized croissant and pastries. However the cooked breakfast was disappointing. I think that they were a bit understaffed as there was always a wait for some items and the quality of the food on offer was pretty poor.
