Very good

A hugely disappointing stay, in...

Liked: We enjoy staying in period properties: it's one of the reasons we chose Hook house, as well as it's close location to a family event we were visiting. The staff were available when assistance was needed. The bedding and towels were clean; the bed was quite comfortable, though the mattress is giving out and needs replacing. Breakfast was okay with the full english cooked well, but cold within a short timeframe, and not topped up.
Disliked: The property has not been decorated in many years, so is very shabby. The property needs a deep clean. It isn't acceptable to sit amongst grubby furniture and dusty and food stained surfaces at breakfast. I could have overlooked the old paintwork, but the fact that the place hasn't had good regular cleaning felt like the owners have fallen out of love with it and just can't be bothered. I didn't like seeing cobwebs around the windows and dead insects either, nor the grubby torn stair carpet. We stayed in one of the small roof space rooms, which in itself is attractively quirky. But, the damp stains and cracked plasterwork was horrid, as was the bodged repairs to the shower unit - the bathroom needs a total refurb. The furniture was old but not in a good way. We had to put the kettle on the floor for the cable to reach the socket. Unfortunately, I could go on and on ...... :( I've added photos to support my review, but they are not being included!

Very good

Liked: Friendly, helpful hosts. Location great for our visit to Winchester,' Highclere Castle and the Duke of Wellingtons house.

Disappointing

Liked: Good location and good coffee at Breakfast
Disliked: Breakfast choices were below par, cleaning could be improved in the bathroom, and the rooms were generally in need of some modernisation.

One night stay slept well

Liked: Staff very nice and friendly,Pizzas amazing
Disliked: Lovely building but bedroom was very shabby, ceiling paper coming off and mouldy bathroom ceiling, this was shame because our stay would have been perfect if these problems would have been addressed.

Fabulous place ......... delightful building...

Liked: The breakfast was very nice ...... but rather surprised that there was no toast !
Disliked: We liked everything
