Guest Reviews

Madeleine (10/5): - Had a very warm welcome, in spite of a mistake on my part, & was made to feel very at home during my stay. The bar area was lovely & breakfast was exceptional. Thank you
Thomas (4/5): - Smell from unflushed toilet upon entering room and toilet didn’t flush well. Noise from doors and fire alarms at breakfast.
Diane (10/5): - We had a lovely stay for a couple of nights while we saw family. We enjoyed a meal when we arrived on the Monday evening which was lovely but the portions were large. We decided to have the Continental breakfast on our last morning which is all self service with a lot of choice. The staff were very attentive.
Valerie (8/5): Generally excellent all round. - Food very good, staff very friendly, decor needs a little attention, very comfortable bed , and a nice big room.
Stuart (2/5): Filthy room - we checked out early - Checked in and checked out an hour later as the room was filthy and the windows had next to no soundproofing. Carpet and skirting boards were thick with dust and bathroom grout was black. We were shown another room to move to which was just as bad. When we sad we were checking out they said ok and apologised but still waiting for a refund.
John (8/5): Clean room, good food - Easy parking, room was clean but first room overlooked the road and was noisy, the hotel changed my room without any problem. Good choice for breakfast cooked fresh and evening meals had plenty of choice.
brian (8/5): - Good food, good service
Julian (10/5): Comfortable stopover - I have no idea how eco-friendly they are so I have left a middling score for that. Otherwise everything was fine except for one bit of misinformation: when I arrived, the receptionist told me the bar was closed; nevertheless there were still a few guests there and they sold me a beer.
Richard (10/5): - Easy to check in, clean, nice staff.
David (6/5): - Room was clean just a bit old and tired, but decent enough for the price. We arrived late and went to the bar for a drink. Staff seemed friendly but during our drink two of the staff members had a full on row in front of all the customers in the bar. Which was embarrassing and made us uncomfortable.
Gareth (10/5): Visit to Thruxton circuit - Bed was very comfortable and the food choices in the pub were great. Food quality was excellent for our stay.
Andrew (10/5): - Everything was excellent with one exception, which was the noise from traffic of which you can't control maybe triple glazing?
Stacey (10/5): Great last minute stay - We had an easy check-in and a lovely spacious room. It was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed.
Christopher (10/5): - I had a great 1 night stay at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. I arrived close to the food ordering deadline but the staff were extremely accommodating and happy to serve anything off the menu.
Adam (10/5): - I stay h
Mark (10/5): - Staff outstanding like to thank all the staff including Lottie,Amber,Lydia Mae,Alicia Ed the Chef,and of course Donna and Julie. Will be staying there in future 👍
Cyril (8/5): - Noisy in courtyard Lovely bed everything was clean
Ian (10/5): - Convenient location, great country charm, lovely staff
Tim (10/5): - Good accommodation with friendly staff
Damon (2/5): - Noise. Dirty. Poor communication. NOISE.
Alan (8/5): - Everything was OK
Rob (8/5): - Easy to find and park, the room was clean and comfortable but was beginning to look tired and dated. I would definitely stay here again, it’s convenient and the staff were pleasant.
Neil (10/5): - Really good, staff excellent.
Nick (10/5): - Great place, comfy, good food.
Laura (6/5): Journey break - Booked as a break in journey, not far from A303. Quite a wait at reception after pressing the bell unsure if it worked, only to be greeted by ok heard you - when we said we were unsure about it working as no noise or light indication that it did, and the length of time left waiting. Room clean but desperately in need of quality updating- DIY attempts poorly done. Although our window opened onto the pub outside area it quickly quietened after hours. Plus we were exhausted after a 4 hour drive straight from work!
Barry (10/5): - This was a last minute booking but staff where friendly and the food was great. I think the breakfast was overpriced at £19. Dearer than an evening meal. But apart from that great.
Trudy (6/5): Staff good ,great location ,poor rooms - We use this hotel a lot as its position for our frequent visits to the West Country .Extremely well priced . Food good in restaurant ,overall restaurant decor good ,however dining chairs need attention ,other diners had issues with them. All staff excellent ,friendly and efficient.We had an issue with the original room we were given ( continual noise from next room ) asked to be moved and this was done with no problem. Our biggest disappointment with the WHEATSHEAF is the condition of the room accommodation,all rooms we have stayed in there are extremely tired,lack maintenance…particularly the bathrooms need total refurbishment. Decoration ie a fresh coat of paint in main bedroom and corridors would help . I note other reviews say the same and the response is the comments are passed on to the hotel’s maintenance department … let’s hope some action is taken ,as we would still look forward to coming to stay here and not look for an alternative place to stay in the future !!
Gary (8/5): - Helpful , clean , affordable, nice food and drink. No plug in bath and bulbs missing In bedside lamps. But overall good and I would come back again
Paul (10/5): - Very convenient place,no fuss easy checking in,lovely,will definitely use again.
Duane (10/5): - Great
Ian (8/5): - Very comfortable and staff were very pleasant.
Gillian (6/5): - The staff were very friendly. The hotel is tired and needs renovating. The bed was very comfortable and clean as were the towels. The breakfast was very good but the main meals need some attention.
Russell (10/5): A pleasant stat - Doing some work at local airfield friendly clean 24hr hotel with a restaurant and bar reasonable price hearty breakfast. Good value compared with some in London
Mark (6/5): - Nice traditional pub stay Quiet and comfortable. Good breakfast I gave a low rating due the fact that the shower did not work properly. We reported it and still no luck. We couldnt wait any longer so had to leave without a shower.
SUSAN (10/5): Lovely little hotel - We stayed here after having my mother-in-law's wake which was held in one of the function areas. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious.
Marius (10/5): Great Service - Service was very good. Staff very helpful and could not fault them.
Emma (10/5): - Comfortable stay, nice and warm room but the thing that makes this place for me is the staff. Always welcoming and helpful.
Lorna (10/5): Enjoyable weekend break - The hotel was cle an and comfortable. The staff really lovely and the food great.
Kerry (8/5): Short stay - Clean and tidy. Heating was playing up but we had extra heaters in our room and were perfectly cosy. The bathroom had a couple of minor faults and we had particularly loud neighbours but all in all pleasant experience. Food good and service excellent..
Shelley (6/5): - Decidedly average. Despite the temporary manager being attentive, helpful & professional, he could not make up for the lack of competence of some of the other staff. Food was plentiful but of mediocre quality. The room was generally ok but quite a few issues.
Angela (8/5): - Very convenient for our trip to the local hospital and very reasonable price including breakfast. A warm welcome at reception on check-in. Nice large room with comfortable big bed. You can open the windows to let in fresh air - not always possible these days at some hotels. We loved that it was over the pub/restaurant (a good menu plus specials and what we had was cooked really well) yet the pub couldn’t be heard from the room. Breakfast had a good selection of cereals etc and cooked options. Only downside - the bathroom was clean but had a few issues - toilet didn’t flush well, a few bits of sealant missing here and there plus the shower wasn’t working. You could only turn on the hot side (and that was scalding hot) but the cold side wouldn’t budge so couldn’t be used. We only reported as we left so couldn’t say if the problem was fixed quickly. We were told some of the bathrooms were being updated and it certainly wouldn’t stop us visiting again.
Martin (10/5): - The dining experience was excellent.
Duane (10/5): - Great
A (6/5): - It wasn’t that it was dirty dirty it’s more that a tin of paint wouldn’t go a miss here and there. And the outside needs a trim here and there such as the large trees near to the building. A couple of the members of the evening staff seemed to want to be elsewhere, however the lady at breakfast was bubbly and very helpful.
Phil (10/5): - The room was very spacious, the breakfast was brilliant and a great value for money. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. A great place to stay.
Emma (10/5): - Stay regularly, staff very helpful and decent price for a good night's sleep
Robert (6/5): - Ok we stayed at this hotel/restaurant for two nights on a stop over to Cornwall for a week and returned for one night return. We stayed in room 4 next to reception and very convenient access to the restaurant. We asked for another Ron on out return as the so called double bed was a large single being a nightmare but the housekeeper said she would make up room 5 into a twin which was much better👍 All staff very friendly and happy to help a credit to Chek and Brewer. Both Ron tired but clean but room 5 shower over bath as all rooms are couldn’t turn heat down so to hot to shower😡 Clean bed linen towels with toiletries very good but no USB sockets which you may expect in this day and age. One main reason we stayed here we use Tesco vouchers on food so three days overall was value for money. Food good drinks expensive but we don’t get out much lol. I feel this hotel/ restaurant is used by lots of professional people on one night stays. Would stay again but only using vouchers but again must say all staff outstanding a credit to the company. Happy days Victor Meldrew 😃
Jeannette (8/5): Good place to stay - The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The pub is lovely with lots of different areas to sit. The room had everything we needed, the bed was large and comfortable, there was a bath and shower, somewhere to hang our clothes and a tv. The car park is very big.
Robert (10/5): Clean hotel, English manor kind of feel to it - Hotel was great, convenient to highway, had an old English feel to it. Host was very friendly, really enjoyed staying here!
Steve (10/5): Basingstoke - Hotel just off the motorway but far enough away not to here any traffic noises. Hotel is a country pub staff warm and welcoming food good choice.large parking space.
Richard (8/5): - I found the phone signal and wifi was very sporadic but didn’t affect my stay
Emma (10/5): - Stay here regularly, affordable and comfortable with lovely staff
Sandra (2/5): - The room was hot and you could not open the windows, not that you would want to touch them. The windows which had secondary glazing was full of dead insects. The windows were rotting and looked like they would fall apart. The noise outside was very loud and you could not sleep. The staff were friendly although the bar could not cater for either of our drinks. The breakfast staff were very welcoming. We only stayed one night out of our two as we were really not happy. I have pictures if you would like to see.
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel. Some small improvements needed - Frendky chevk in and out. Attentive and helpful manager. Good car park and room had all needed amenities. Bathroom was quite scruffy. Restaurant service was slow. Breakfast had several of missing things like teacups and butter
Brett (10/5): - Enjoyed our stay and staff were very good
Brett (10/5): - It was a pleasure staying there. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Christopher (2/5): - The hotel is situated on an A road so extremely noisy with the lorries going past the floor creaked in the room in nearly every area the bed was tiny moved about and creaked
Gillian (10/5): - We were delighted with our overnight stay on route to Southampton. Highly recommended.
Verified traveler (8/5): One night stay - Warm welcome, comfortable room, the bathroom was a little tired but the room was large and the bed comfortable. Food in the restaurant was nice with great service from all the staff.
Sheila (10/5): - The staff were very good ,they looked after us in the best possible way. The hotel was very clean and the beds were excellent. The evening meal was a bit pricey but was well cooked .the breakfast was excellent well worth the money it made up for the evening meal. In all i would have to give the staff 10 out of 10, the hotel i would give 10 out of 10. I would stay there again.
Gillian (10/5): - I had a lovely large room with a super spacious bed. Everything in the room I required. Generous tea and coffee facilities. A hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Good TV and fine pub grub Many thanks
Neil (10/5): - Check in 2pm was really suitable to me as i was travelling from 5am, ready for a shower and a rest before dinner. room was very confutable with all amenities required, Restaurant was very good and inviting with a good menu and very tasty food, Fantastic breakfast, definitely be staying again when in the area.
zak (10/5): - Lovely room for a decent price and the staff were so lovely and helped us with anything we needed. The food at the pub is amazing and decently pricedz
Ruth (8/5): - The only downside was the outside drinking area It was rather grubby and lots of cigarette butts around.
Scott (6/5): - The food was really good, the room we was in was good size but the cleanliness needs to be really looked at, the skirting board was smothered with dust, there was cobwebs, plaster was coming of the walls, the headboard was covered ground in dust or something, just needed a dam good clean. We paid almost £150 for the room and expected more to be honest, don't think we'll be staying there again.
Chris (6/5): - Handy for where I was working (Basingstoke). The towel was not changed, just hung up damp. Very limited menu for vegetarians. I would not stay there again.
Michael (8/5): - Staff were welcoming, Accomodation as described and satisfactory, menu and food was excellent, but room 28 should be closed off until the wc cistern can be repaired or replaced !
Janet (10/5): Excellent customer service - The strong point in this hotel is their staff. Helpful reservation staff allowed us early access to our room. Excellent customer service from all staff, with a special mention to our waitress for dinner who clearly loves her job. Food came quickly, hot and tasty, good selection plus vegetarian options. Breakfast ditto. Comfortable beds, room equipped with hairdryer, iron, ironing board etc. On the minus side, although generally clean, the hotel in all areas, public as well as bedrooms, is a little "tired", and could do with redecorating, dining tables and chairs had seen better days. In our bedroom, the bathroom was ready for a refurbishment, 2 out of 3 hooks on a coat rack missing, a wonky bedside light fitting, etc. This did not impact our stay, and we would return.
T (8/5): Good overnight stop - A comfortable stay in very convenient position for access to A303. Staff very friendly & efficient. Evening meal was excellent, cooked breakfast ok. Would stay again
Sarah (10/5): Lovely - Lovely stay. Warm, welcoming staff. Very attentive.
Cynthia (8/5): Very nice inn on the way to Heathrow - A nice place but the room it the front had a lot of street noise. The food was good. It provided a fan and iron in the room which was great
Chris (4/5): - Whole place needs some TLC and training in manners for the barman.
miss S (4/5): Average - No one at reception, had to wait over 10 minutes to check in. Bathroom run down with very loud extractor fan. Room itself looked nice and was well equipped but bed springs poking out of bed
Elizabeth (8/5): - Clean basic accommodation attached to an interesting old inn. Modern bedroom resembling Premier Inn, good value for the price paid snd in an ideal location as we were passing through Basingstoke on the way to Southampton. Breakfast was not included but offered at a supplement. Variety offered on the menu looked good but we overslept in the comfortable beds and so had to run.
Adrian (6/5): Room for improvement - Nice enough place think it’s ready for a make over paint wise in bedrooms Basic menu wfi no good in pub area
Duane (10/5): - Lovely hotel! Great food and drinks. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Duane (10/5): - Great hotel friendly service
Gideon (10/5): - Good quality of services
Mary (8/5): - OK
Stephen (10/5): Great room and plenty of parking. - I arrived around 9.30pm and was checked very efficiently by a gentleman who showed great customer service skills. I was allocated room number 1. The room was spacious, very warm, a big bed, a bath, decent kettle, coffee bags (as opposed to sachets) and quality biscuits and bathroom products. I had a meal in the restaurant on my second night. I ordered belly pork with vegetables. The veg was fine but the pork was almost 100% fat - almost no meat. Apart from the meal my stay was excellent and I would consider staying again.
John (10/5): - Good location easy accessible good staff just the ideal place for a short break
Steve (10/5): County pub - Location was great close to motway but far enough so its quite good access in to town
Steve (10/5): Country pub - Good pub food warm friendly atmosphere
Philip (10/5): - Nice little Inn located outside of Basingstoke with quick access to the villages to the west. Very friendly and professional staff.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great all around.
Thomas (8/5): - Convenient, friendly and good value
Donna (8/5): - Nice and comfortable
Anna (8/5): - friendly staff, large and clean rooms, nice pub setting serving good food and drink.
Verified traveler (8/5): Tired but clean - Facilities were clean but we'll used. Housekeeping left a lot to be desired but was remedied when shortcomings pointed out.
Myles (8/5): - Lovely room and overall well presented. Comfortable big bed, great TV, generally very clean and tidy. Unfortunately it took quite some time to finally find someone to get checked in. I had to go into the restaurant and ask!! The only other minor observation was the soap dispenser had come off the wall in the bathroom and needed to be refixed.
paul (6/5): - Hotel itself is fine but internet is really poor and only works in some of the rooms
Tom (4/5): Lovely hotel but traffic noise horrendous - Unfortunately my room was above main entrance and therefore facing main road, with the noise from the A road and M3 just beyond, did not sleep and woke up extremely tired. Everything else about the hotel was lovely, just need to sort something out about windows to dampen traffic noise
James (10/5): - The hotel was excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. The only complaint I have is the hot water was intermittent in the shower and took a long time to come out of the tap in the bathroom sink
Sean (4/5): - The room definitely needed updating. It was old and showed it. Not too clean. Lots of cobwebs, and some splashed staining on one of the walls. Two bulbs had blown. Bathroom was dated, chipped tops by the basin, stained and the bath with shower over not great. The sheets/bedding, pillows were very clean though, thank goodness. I wouldn't stay here again
nicola (8/5): Perfect for short stay - This was a comfortable hotel and the room was a really good size. Nice and quiet despite being on an A Road. There is a pub with food too which was handy
Margaret (10/5): Meeting with family for Funeral - Travelling with my daughter for a funeral, Hotel was 5 mins drive from Crematorium. Very friendly and helpful staff, had dinner and breakfast food good plenty of choice., prawn starter was amazing. Would definitely stay here again
Jennifer (6/5): - Very tired bedrooms although linen and towels were ok. stairways need refurbishing. Restaurant not too bad.
Christiana (2/5): - I didn’t like anything about this property it was bad. The staffs were rude so not polite I will never go there again and i make sure anyone I know never goes there too!!!!
Stuart (8/5): Great stay - Comfortable room, very clean, great food and service and a excellent breakfast selection
DARRYL (8/5): - Staff excellent, room areas were not sound proofed very well, could hear anyone in corridors & door closing was loud
