Hursley Rooms - The Dolphin

Very nicely renovated since our last stay; layout great for a family; pub dinner was tasty and the kids enjoyed playing in the park.

Look forward to a cooked breakfast being available again.

The garden of the pub next to it is very nice. The people working there were really nice! The were some board games offered for free.

The bathroom needs a renovation and you can’t open any window.

We shopped in Winchester then drove 20 mins to this venue. Staff were very friendly and space within the room was plentiful. We loved being able to walk across the forecourt to the pub and have supper and the food was very good.

Although the room is spacious it is rather drab. We had Suite 2 and light from the small window is miminal. It was made worse by the plain decor of white walls, grey carpet and grey bedding. It needs pictures on the wall, perhaps a local artist displaying their work and floral / lighter bedding to lighten and brighten. Would have liked a hairdryer too.

Lower floor bed was very soft, 2nd floor beds was more comfortable

There was no ventilation on the 1st floor all windows was sealed up with paint, NO SMOKE ALARMS which was worrisome, 2nd floor very little ventilation unable to sleep only 1 fan for 2 floors

The room has steps so no good for disabled people and the bed was very close to the wall so the wheelchair will not go through to the bathroom which was in a bad condition the tower rack was falling down and there were pubic hairs in the bathroom the bedroom was through a storage room very poor and definitely not a disable room so bad I would demand my money back

Location and space

Lack of breakfast options

Dinner was delicious. Pub quiz night was an unexpected but welcome bonus. Good selection of tasty beer. Very comfortable beds.

The staff were really welcoming when we arrived & we got checked in quickly. The room was really nice & comfortable with everything we needed. The bar staff were really helpful & made space for us to play darts. Great selection of ciders in the bar. We had our evening meal in the pub which was very tasty. Overall this is a great place to stay and will be back.

Wi-Fi wasn't very good but wasn't an issue.
