Quiet retreat
Such a cute hotel, really friendly and ample free parking. Situated next to the zoo, the area is quiet, relaxed and safe. I will definitely stay here again.

It was second time staying here and I think it is time some money was spent on the place. They seem understaffed as it took an age to get checked in. My room was ok but the mattress was like concrete and the pillows quite the opposite leading to a sore neck in the morning. I took it upon myself to clean the fan they had in the room which was a good thing as it was filthy and I can only imagine was sort of dust would have been thrust my way if I had not cleaned it. Evening dining was ok but the value for money left a lot to be desired with lackluster garlic bread, quite a greasy cheeseburger and a bland tarte only saved by the accompanying sorbet. Breakfast was a better experience to get the day off to a good start. The hotel looks quite tired with freezing corridors between the lobby and rooms.

There are no lifts but the staff helped with heavy cases if asked. There were no glasses for water in the room. The unique building - based on a jungle theme - was novel but needed refreshing. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel was a plantation style building on stilts built next to a zoo. We were wakened by beautiful exotic bird song ( not lions roaring as we expected). Food and accomodation was well presented and staff friendly. Overall a very unusual hotel tucked away in the Hampshire countryside.

Excessive noise in corridors in the middle of the night, there was a wedding who's guests were less than respectful to those of us not part of the wedding party. Dinner menu was no better than Weatherspoons.

We stayed for 1 night for a wedding we didnt use the pool as we didnt know they had one till we got there. No-one explained when it was open etc or what facilities they had on site. Room was big, but it didnt feel the cleanest. We were greated by a daddy longlegs on one wall and spider on the other. The bathroom door was in poor condition and so damaged by water it wouldnt shut. Shower was good and there was a bath tub. Bed was comfortable Breakfast was a bit of a waiting game. There were plenty of tables (but several needed clearing) they werent ready for next people. Hot food option, we had to wait ages with a plate of food for beans as they needed to be heated up. A lady next tonus had asked for a fried egg and it turned up 15mins after she had finished her food. That said the food was good it was just the service which was very slow and disorganised. Check in and check out were easy and price was reasonable. The ground were a mess. Just overgrown with weeds and looked unkempt. Its a woodland environment but there was rubbish in amongst it which was a shame.

The hotel is run down and needs some updating. The bathroom is tired with lime scale marks all around the back of the sink and down the tiles. The door didn't lock from the inside which I wasn't ideal either.
