Had some pork scratchings while waiting for my friend, they were tasty with ample apple aauce. Shared with my friend a pork roll and toastie. Both were above and beyond the stanrd. Pork roll with large with high quality, not ground pork. The toastie was also two steps above typical fare. Ser ice was both professional and friendly.

So cute!!! Very comfy 'home' feeling…read more We popped in here for lunch today based on a friends recommendation. It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

Normally I don't stay at a Moxy because the rooms are too small, and they are generally feel like…read moreclosets. This one was totally fine. It was clean, and close to everything. It appears to be the same building as Premier Inn, it's just that if you go in the door close to the water it's called Moxy, and if you go inside the door on the opposite side it's called Premier Inn. About 2 blocks out the Premier Inn side is a giant pedestrian area with hundreds of shops and a giant functioning mall, the way malls used to be in the 1980s in the USA. There's a dollar store called Poundland, a Walmart like store called Primark, there's a Marks and Spencer (like Target), John Lewis ( like Bloomies or Nordstrom). Down the road, along the sea, is a pub from the 1300s called Dancing Man Woolen Mill that had centuries of character.

We had a one night stay before our cruise. I redeemed Marriott Bonvoy points…read more The hotel is conveniently located near the Southampton cruise terminal. The hotel suggested we take a cab but we managed to pull our 24 inch luggage from the hotel. We cut through the Holiday Inn parking lot. I wouldn't recommend you walking unless you're very mobile. It took us under 15 minutes. We enjoyed the hotel. Very upbeat. We noticed a photo booth on the mezzanine and table tennis. We had a choice of 500 points or food credit $10 per person. I took the food credit as we were going to eat before leaving for the terminal the next morning. Spent about another $12 USD out of pocket. Standard breakfast food options. We also had hotel bar food for dinner the day we checked in after the two fish and chip places suggested by the hotel didn't work out. Ordered: * hubby had chicken wings * I had Mac n cheese balls * BIL had chicken curry * sis had egg rolls We each were given a free cocktail voucher. It was like a fruit punch. Also got local beer. There's a shopping center across the street. It was a Sunday so stores closed early.

The Winchester Hotel is arguably one of the nicer hotels in the former capital village. It's just a…read moreshort walk from the Winchester train station and about a 10 min walk to Jewry Street which has plenty of restaurants and bars. There is free parking if you elect to drive, though the massive parking lot in front of the hotel does not make for the most dramatic of entrances. While it's an older property, the lobby looks recently renovated and surprisingly modern. Room was clean and bath/bed would as you expect from a 3* property. The complex has a nice indoor pool and sauna which I did not expect to find in Winchester. Free fast wifi was a great perk. Overall this was good value and should be on your short list for a clean safe and recently renovated hotel.

I went to this hotel before it's refurb a few years ago, and was cheap and cheerful. So on…read morereturning, it has raised itself to 4 stars. It certainly looks much sleeker. Very clean room, really nice. The main meals were good but it was really let down by the cooked breakfast items. Watery pale scrambled egg, and the usual sausages, bacon, mushrooms, baked beans. Had a bit of everything first morning, felt a bit horrible. Next day had toast beans and hash browns only, the best bits. Also a small continental type breakfast (meats and cheeses) which were nice. But just one type of egg and poorly done wasn't what I expected from a four star. Food has to follow in the upgrade! Ooh almost forgot, did have a room service burger, that was very very nice.

I've stayed in a few hotel du vin hotels before and due to staying at this hotel as a stop off…read morebefore going to the ferry port at Poole for jersey I booked a standard double room. We had arrived very late at night after driving for 5 hours nonstop and we found off street parking as we knew we would be leaving early in the morning for the ferry. The staff was very friendly and directed us to our room with helpful information about what restaurants close by that was still open that they could recommend . The standard double room has a queen size bed , a flat screen tv with a ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with a monsoon shower head inside. It is very high end price for a standard room but location was key for us! I would stay here again if travelling to Poole ferry port.

Not all the waiters were at the same level of professionalism. One lad thumped plates on the table with a distinct lack of care. It has a lovely dining room with an enchanting looking garden outside. Only downside - two lots of overcharging on the bill which took two goes to sort out. Recommended.

Be very careful about making refundable reservations at the hotel. I made a "flexible" reservation…read morefor two nights and for some reason I was charged $920 right away. As our plans changed, I canceled the reservation about a month ago and received cancellation confirmation email however no refund. I have been calling the hotel weekly for refund at late night and early morning hours from California. The manager is supposed to take care of this but the front desk staff cannot get a hold off the manager. I left him another message at 4:30 am in California (noon in U.K.) hoping the manager will be around. I was again told he is not around and "will call me back" in an hour. No call back again. Frustrated, hope you don't find yourself in this situation for your refunds.

Nice secluded away from traffic, can admire the New Forest and just relax in its Lounge, bar or the restaurant. We stayed just for one night and were seriously tempted to stay back few more days. The breakfast is great and also have option for ordering other stuff from the menu of you do not like the buffet spread. The staff are very friendly and eager to help. The rooms are spacious, we dot a quad room which had a nice bunk bed for the kids, the swimming pool looked nice but we didn't have time to get in and the parking adequate so nothing to complain. We got a two days park tickets and one nights stay for £260 (family of 4) so it was a brilliant deal for the bank holiday weekend. We plan to head back for a longer vacation in near future and enjoy all the sights of New Forest. Highly recommended!
