Liked the pub next door and plenty of space in the apartment. The breakfast basket was a nice touch. Owner let us check in early to make the most of our day and was very friendly. Lovely converted barn with some original beams.
Shower was not the best- it was wobbly and came apart. The two bedrooms were basically open plan with no privacy inbetween. Not an issue for close family but could be for couples. Apart from that, the stay was lovely.

We liked that the flats shared the same entrance hallway & we easily moved from each flat. As a party of 8 girls, this was ideal. Kettle for tea/coffee making with teabags, coffee, carton milk & sugar. The pub next door serves exceptional food in the evening. Good car parking out the front of property. In 1 flat ; 2 double beds In other flat ; 1 double, 2 singles. Fantastic location to Winchester
The shower was cooler than I wanted. The breakfast was not ideal as booked property with a cooked breakfast included & received porridge pots & flapjacks (all products contained wheat so I wasn’t able to have anything) Would have liked a bigger fridge please.

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.

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.

Come here every year (if we can)... The room is perfect for our sisters meet up! Free parking, friendly staff
Didn't have WiFi due to the dongle being stolen or something... Which was fine but with it having hardly any signal it would have been helpful, understand that's not their fault though!! Toilet door wasn't great... Too big for frame or handle dodgy maybe... Not quite sure! Not a major problem, it worked, but made having a quiet toilet in the middle of the night impossible as it's really loud to shut and open the door...

The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They offered advice and numbers for local taxis so we could avoid driving to a wedding in a nearby town, and one staff member saved the day with a zip/dress issue. I meant to go back in and tip her and I forgot, I'm so sorry!
Nothing to dislike at all! The only thing I could consider mentioning was the TV in the room didn't seem to have any working signal, and the WiFi wasn't particularly fast, but we weren't bothered about watching TV really and the 4G signal on my phone was strong enough that I didn't need the WiFi anyway.

Friendly staff, good location
Could have been cleaner, walls had dirty handprints, flooring had dirty footmarks, more sockets required for charging phones etc, the appliances ie tv and lamp plugged in were draping over or behind the heater which is a fire hazard and there was no smoke alarm fitted in the room.

Lovely facility, nicer than it appears in photos. Comfortable, clean and well maintained. Will certainly be booking again next year. Highly recommended
Lack of cooked breakfast option was a bit of a negative

We were looking for accommodation close to Eastleigh Leisure Centre to attend a regional competition. We wanted to avoid the big chain hotels and The Dolphin had what we were looking for - driving distance to venue, good price, restaurant on site, nice looking accommodation. We were not disappointed, lovely location, nice restaurant, accommodation as advertised.
The room was very hot on arrival, but once the heating was off it cooled down. Shower room a little small, especially given the room could sleep a family of 5. A little disappointing that breakfast on a Sunday is not served until 9am, we had to set off by 8 so an early, even just continental, breakfast would have been welcome. Guests in adjoining room very noisy and had to be asked to be quieten down at 1:45 (which they did), not The Dolphin's fault.

There wasn't anything we didn't like! It's not just a pub, it's a beautiful, friendly village pub with really good - above average for a pub - food. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely, very comfortable and much nicer than the budget places we usually stay at for race days (We went to Thruxton)! We would definitely stay again if we get the chance, we loved it.
Nothing!
