On August 31st, my family and I were on a tour with a wonderful guide (Jill Pretorius of Windsor…read moreDay Tours)... We had already walked all over Winchester, we were on our way to Stonehenge, we were excited and hungry, but also jet lagged and exhausted! Jill brought us to The White Lion joking that, being only 400 years old, it was practically a brand new pub! We came in (mind your head), and were immediately sat down at a big, groaning, family table! Water was served, beers and ciders followed, and then meat pies and fish and chips were ordered all around! This meal was absolutely delicious in the way that only homemade country pub food can be. The cider selection was excellent, and we left refreshed, happy, and ready to take on the rest of our day (mind you, we ALL passed out cold in the van after Stonehenge and on the way back to our hotel)! Thank you so much to the ladies of The White Lion Inn & Pub for your extremely warm hospitality!! Much love! I hope to make it back one day!

If you have mobility issues, let them know at booking time- as there would be great difficulty with the stairs & hallways if you had walking or balance issues. (Hint: Room #1 is larger and next to the front & the pub.) Clean room, modest furnishings, a bit worn, but clean. The bath had a small stand up shower, but the water was hot after a long day. TV, hairdryer, clothes iron, water kettle & tea service - all provided. Also the location is very close (short walk) to the city center and Salisbury Cathedral, with lots of eating & pub options. Morning breakfast buffet (extra) was good & filling, with hot fresh eggs, meats, cheeses, beans, toast, jellies/jam, juices, teas & coffee. Worth the dosh in my humble opinion. The bar was a nice snuggery, but the selection was limited in offerings. Go for convenience & location, and if the weather is good, eat in the courtyard and pet the feral but friendly black cat that roams the hotel. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, and I'd probably stay again, but I'd much prefer a larger room in future. Recommended, but with care on room selection, B+

We had 2 rooms and left at 3:30 AM because the noise from the adjacent club was so loud. We had…read morereflections from the mirror balls reflecting on our ceiling. It was absolutely ridiculous. The clubs don't shut down until 3:30 AM and then all of the club goers hit the street for food, fighting and being loud. If they are staying in the hotel, they are loud in the hallways. It never ends. We got more sleep in our car than we did in the hotel room. Our rooms should have never been booked

However, knowing our thoughts on the above, we were encouraged to try the Park House Hotel and in short, we'll be going again! The service was magnificent, the food wonderful and the facilities second to none. The swimming pool (indoor) and spa are set in the most excellent building. There is also golf (small, but suitable for my declining level!) and optional cycling (we tried, but we're probably too old!). In all, we spent two extremely relaxing nights there and I look forward to doing the same again next year.

The service was excellent, and the ambiance--both stylish and inviting--felt like a hidden gem. We had the gnocchi, Sunday roast, drinks, and panna cotta--everything was delicious. The panna cotta was a bit overwhelming on the lemon flavor for me, but I think that is how its intended to be. The boutique hotel setting adds to the charm, with a spacious front and back patio tucked away from the crowds.

We can't recall what Gayle ordered, while my choice was some sort of tandoori chicken dish. My pint of local beer and her class of chardonnay were also at the table. Everything tasted good, even more so with a relaxing atmosphere and interesting table neighbors. Service was pleasant, but oddly fast on the food coming out, while slow for the drinks. Rest rooms were available inside the hotel for customers, which is kind of a big thing when you're within a very crowded downtown.

The food (both dinner and breakfast) was definitely good, not Michelin star by any means (they are preparing meals for hundreds at the same times after all! - but good and plentiful with many choices and options. Breakfast from full English to Continental and more. Dinner involves 3 courses, good and friendly service with many choices including a different roast every day, a different themed cuisine every day (E.g. Asian etc) and specials (look just above the desserts on the daily menu). The rooms are clean and roomy enough, service is good, but it must be about time to bring in new mattresses please!). The building itself, inside and out, and the history is MAGNIFICENT. And then the entertainment every night - a LOT of fun and John-Philip was amazing. We have never (by choice) been on a cruise but this must be a somewhat similar experience for a quick getaway with things to do all day long (and evening til after midnight) The food, both dinners and breakfast was both plentiful, varied and pretty good. Service was very good. Our first visit to a Warner Hotel. Will we be back to another - YES!

Hotel rooms, in the main, are typically Warners - a step up from a Travel Lodge but not much more. A couple of historic rooms are available (including a haunted one!) with a little more character. Breaks here are half-board and you'll find yourself sitting on an allocated table in a huge restaurant. Service here can be buffet or a la carte at your pleasure. Food is OK, a notch above school catering but a long way from fine dining. Leisure facilities are good. The majority of guests will be retired, and a long-time retired at that. Evening entertainment is provided and ranges from acceptable to quite good. It's easy listening in the main. Themed breaks happen throughout the year ranging from entertainment breaks through to sporting or arty breaks. A small additional charge will apply. This place used to be good to use as a base for travelling. Unfortunately, increases in prices have made other options more attractive. Warners are trying to lower their target market but this is not really yet evidenced. No children
