Hotels near Froyle Playground and Recreation Park, East Hampshire District

Location: A quiet hotel, within walking distance to the town centre and railway station. There are two museums in the town both free and worth a visit. Its only a 10-15 min drive from hotel to Jane Austen's House Museum; Chawton House and Gilbert White's House and Garden. There is a waitrose just 5 mins walk from the hotel. Room: We stayed on a room only basis for 3 nights. The room was on the ground floor but very dusty with cobwebs behind the curtains. We had issues with no hot water in the shower for two mornings even after we spoke to reception after the first morning. The heated towel rail also didnt work, which we found out after returning from being out all day only to find the towels hadnt been changed and were still damp on the cold towel rail! We had no windows ino ur room; but we had doors which opened onto a little patio area. This would have been great to use if the chairs were clean and not damaged.

Stayed here for a friend's wedding this weekend! Had an apartment for the night. Was very nice and well equipped even had tea, coffee and milk in the fridge which wasn't expected as self catering. Unfortunately didn't sleep very well as bedrooms where so hot. Couldn't get any aircon to work and not sure the rooms even had it in them. Then realised in the morning the towel radiator in the ensuites left on full heat presumably by housekeeping so that didn't help along with the hot weather. Alot of noise of people walking past the apartments in the early hours too and cars reving waking us up! Used the spa facilities in the morning and they were pretty unimpressive too...not very clean and could do with a refurb. Run down and didn't feel very clean and spa like which is a shame as was looking forward to a relaxing spa.

I arrived late (2315 hours) although within their check in windows, but they had the room keeps ready for me in the room, so I was able to get straight in without any fuss. Brilliant service - thanks.

The hotel looks bright and modern, with a decent car park. The many many signs all over the place about fines if you don’t register your vehicle make the parking and hotel entry somewhat intimidating. If they are concerned about parking. Why not just have a barrier with a token from reception to exit? Reception was friendly and we had a room on the ground floor with a lovely view of a ****y bank of earth through a rather small window. The room was clean, well appointed but the ceiling lighting was awfully dim. The bathroom was clean but we didn’t feel that entry/exit from the bath was very safe if you had limited mobility. Dinner in the restaurant was extremely disappointing. The space is modern and the kitchen is open, but the service, though very friendly was extremely and embarrassingly slow. This needs to attended to. The place was not at all busy. In the end we went to the bar to get a drink to fill in the waiting time. Someone on a neighbouring table waited ages for a beer which was served flat and had to wait a long long time for a replacement. Our tear and share bread was so over cooked, we struggled to cut it with a pizza wheel. The fish and chips were very tasty and well presented. The tagliatelle was over cooked and the sauce completely tasteless. The only flavour in the dish came from the nice garlic prawns added as an extra. We decided against deserts as we anticipated another very long wait. While we were there a neighbouring table was re-occupied but was not sanitised between guests. This could have been so much better! Breakfast was easier because it’s self serve, but it was busy and the few staff were unable to keep pace so tables took a long time to be cleared and longer to be cleaned. We had to get our own cutlery as this job was also slow. Breakfast selection and quality was quite acceptable. We were happy with the hotel but it was badly let down by the extremely slow dinner service.
