One night stay was ok, but somewhat disappointing.
Our pre-paid booking had not registered on the Marwell system, so check-in took quite a long time. The desk staff were quite pleasant and eventually resolved the issue and said that we had been upgraded to a Bridal Suite because of the problems at check-in. However, had we been newly weds we would have been disappointed by their idea of a bridal suite.
The rooms all seem to have quite narrow, shared balconies, so you would not want to leave the patio doors open at night to get fresh air.
We also had to wait with two other groups at the bar for between 5-10 mins because there were no staff in attendance.
Interesting place - a little tired and in need of some tic. Little things: no drinking glasses in room, only one bath towel and very dirty carpet in dining room. Otherwise ok
The room was close to the hotel entrance but we had a nice quiet stay and slept very well except for the doors banging closed in the morning. Could not make out if this was staff or guests. We did not dine at the hotel so cannot comment about the food or other facilities. Overall a nice hotel.
The staff were friendly. Compliments to the chief, my evening meal was superb, restaurant staff were friendly. The room was very basic as was the furniture The bath had a lot of unsightly marks. There was rubish under the settee, and one of the sinks in the bathroom was dirty.
Convenient for Marwell Zoo and Resort but although bedroom and bed were large and comfortable there was a lack of thorough cleaning and the bed sheet was stained, We had to request a replacement, which was dealt with promptly. Hospitality tray had obviously not been moved to clean surrounding surface as stains and crumbs all around it. Bathroom door and floor need a thorough scrub.
Hotel was very dated, falling apart. No fridge. The connecting room with family fridge decided to turn off. Only connecting room are upstairs (no lift not ideal with baby!). Decor is 70s, need a full refurb! Not worth staying unfortunately. The bed frame was broken and therefore mattress falling in on itself

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
A strange sort of venue - rare you come away thinking you had a good sleep but left feeling quite disappointed and ripped-off overall. Staff were friendly. Ordered a Guinness which was dreadful. Not the barman’s fault and so did not demand an alternative. Memo to management/owners, don’t allow hard working staff under you take the rap for your collective cutting of corners. Shower was weaker than a broken teabag and toilet flush was stiffer than very stiff things. The bed was very comfy and not much noise in corridors - perhaps because not many people stayed. Maybe for the reasons identified above. For more than 100 notes a night without breakfast, overall a big disappointment. Yes the bed is the most important factor in a hotel but this place really needs to up its game elsewhere.
Booked last minute as a stop over pre Portsmouth ferry. Very reasonable price and despite some reviews was a peaceful little sanctuary surrounded by woodlands Arriving late and leaving early, we didn’t get chance to use the leisure facilities, but would happily go again for a couple of night nights relaxing

Decent, good value for money
Pleasant stay. Clean hotel albeit worn out and in need of renovation in places. Lovely staff. Good food. Not too expensive so good value for money.
Television didn’t work. Internet was restricted to one user at a time and was not secure. No air conditioning throughout property. Room was good and quiet. Would not return to this hotel.
