We stayed for 2 nights in April in the main part of the hotel on a deal which included bed breakfast and one dinner in their main restaurant Scene. It was booked very last minute as a well needed weekend away. The room is small (but not too bad if you are only going for a weekend) and nicely decorated with a good bathroom and a nice shower. The only problem we had with the room was we were woken by the conversation of the girls staying in the next door room - this may have been because they had been at a party in the Manor section of the hotel and I think were quite drunk! The rest of the hotel is nice if a little corporate. The pool is nice but the fragrance shower was out of order which was a shame. Our dinner allowance was £25 per person (food only) which was fine for us but the portions weren't huge and if we hadn't had this deal I would have thought it incredibly over priced for the quality of ingrediants used (wine starts from £16.50 for a very average bottle and one feels they are marking the wine up to absorb some of the offer). Breakfast was large and not bad - on the first day the toast took forever to arrive but was quicker on the second (as an aside they bring out "fresh toast" that is already stone cold why not just have a very large toaster/s for guests to use).
The area is beautiful and only 15 mins to Winchester and we spent most of our time exploring the local area and the pubs which was great fun. As a weekend away it was good value and the staff were very helpful. I am not sure if I would go back in a hurry but then I don't usually book things that last minute when there is little choice. It was an enjoyable stay overall and I would recommend it as a good last minute escape just don't expect a unique experiance.
