Convenient for Jane Austin House.
Nice hotel, in excellent condition throughout. Plenty of parking. Very handy for Jane Austin House and Gilbert White’s House & Garden. Breakfast excellent. Didn’t dine at hotel, so unable to comment. Alton itself was not particularly appealing, but convenient. Very reasonably priced.

Very good value for 2 days B&B and very friendly staff.
Only area of slight concern were where stair hand rails met the wall and a nip was created.

5 Night Xmas Break Near Family
5 Night Stay close to family.
Did the job, staff were excellent, my bed was a bit bouncy but wifes ok.
Breakfast lovely could not fault.
Bar reasonable priced and draft beer was good unlike some hotels we have stayed at.
Little things that can make a difference to some people should be acted upon and not much to fix were:
Needs new toilet roll holder and some paint to cover mould especially in bathroom.
However for price paid could not complain.
Finally staff were excellent nothing to much trouble.

Stayed for 2 nights in this hotel. It is a old listed building. Average hotel. Room was dated.The bathroom was very smelly and there were no suitable rooms for us to be swapped to. Breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect to attend a wedding in Froyle.
The free on site parking was a big bonus.
Would recommend for a couple of night's stay.
