The Plough is an excellent place to stay the rooms are spacious, really comfortable and although the two we've stayed in were renovated they still had character. The staff are all excellent, always wiling to help, very knowledgeable about the area. The food is extremely good expertly cooked an very good value. The location of the Plough is great as it's far enough away from the main roads an motorways but close enough to Winchester City only a 10/15 minute drive. We are definitely going to be staying there again.!

Having to leave

Have stayed here three times now (and just booked up for next year 2023), we always come down every year for a short weekend stay for the Xmas markets in Winchester, which is just a couple of miles down the road. The Plough Inn is excellent in every regard. The rooms are comfortable, clean and cosy with excellent facilities like good showers, tea & coffee and Sky TV and decorated to a good standard. The pub is spotless, cosy and inviting and the restaurant is the same. The food quality is superb and we always have our main evening meals here rather than eat in Winchester itself (not because Winchester doesn't have good restaurants but simply because the Plough Inn is too good to pass up). Breakfast is also of a high standard. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This place has a 2-Star rating on Google but that's complete nonsense and a Google glitch. This is easily a 4-Star establishment and the prices are superb in this current climate.

Nothing at all. If I had to be nit-picky, then I would say maybe just a couple more options on the restaurant menu. But that's just me trying to find something to suggest, when in fact the menu is probably spot on and enough choice for anyone (even vegetarians)

Lovely clean room that felt newly refurbished. Breakfast was absolutely delicious 10/10 to the chef. Location was great for me as it was only 13-15 minute drive to Winchester centre. All the staff were lovely.

I would have enjoyed a machine coffee at breakfast but everything else was so nice I wouldn’t have marked down for that. The tv in the stump jump seemed a bit temperamental - maybe some instructions in the room might have helped along with how to work the heating etc as the radiators were both off when I arrived but again not enough to mark down just to give feedback

Everything. Has its own car park which helps instead of spending time trying to find somewhere to park. It’s a lovely village rather than a busy town but only 5 miles from Winchester. Room was modern, clean & comfortable. It even had the important long mirror. Our bed was king, lovely bedding & comfortable. Room to move about. Bathroom had just been updated so was modern & clean. Supplied basic wash stuff. Kettle & mugs were good but only the smallest amount of the milk in those pods. Staff were friendly & helpful & dinner & breakfast fab. Thank you Jamie for looking after us, & thanks to all the other staff for a great stay. Will def stay again 😊

Nothing. Only thing is the tea/coffee could have more supply rather than having to ask for it.

Dinner was lovely the steak pie and mash was really good. Breakfast was fantastic and the full English was exceptional. The room was great and very comfortable and quiet. The bar area was good and well stocked and staff always at hand. The car park was large and lovely to park your car with a short walk into reception. All smiley faces here. Booking BDC-4456728290

I know there was not a lot of room but the shower door could do with 1 door not a sliding one as it left a smaller gap to get in and out the shower. And the TV was not working i tried everything, and the shower water was taking a long time to drain away and i was worried in case it overflowed into the bathroom floor, i reported both these issues(TV and Shower drains in the morning)

Room was comfortable and warm, well lit, big enough but not huge. Bathroom newly fitted out, I particularly liked the shaving mirror and the very effective shower. WiFi solid and fast enough for a decent work connection through a VPN. Nice choice of well kept real ales in the bar, meals good enough that there was no need to go in search of better. Good breakfast too.

Not a didn't like, but room for improvement: I would have liked a desk to work at, but space is a bit tight so it would need some thought. I also much prefer a pod coffee machine to instant "coffee" in a room.

We book a room for the night on the way through heading home as we have often passed Winchester but not stayed so figure why not. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, the room was clean, comfortable and perfect size, great balcony to sit out and have a cuppa! - the bar offers a range of ales and beers popular to taste along with a wide range of spirits, liquors. The food was incredible the starters, the best burger I think I’ve ever eaten and a gorgeous desert all accompanied with two pints of Moretti and desert wine to finish the evening a beautiful Muscat Elysium! Would highly recommend the stay, we slept comfortably and the staff were respectful of people staying when leaving and closing up. A gem of a place.

None at all

The location was excellent and very scenic with the surrounding village very nice. The breakfasts were good and we had evening meals on two of the nights. The evening meals were delicious and beautifully presented, they were really quite special. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service was excellent at all times. The room was a little small but was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. It had everything we required including Sky TV. There was ample parking to the rear of the Inn. There was lovely outdoor garden and drinking area which would have been lovely in the summer. It was very good value for the money and hope to return sometime soon.

There wasn't anything we really disliked.

Great food, fabulous evening meal and breakfasts. Very comfy room. Friendly team happy to chat when they can. Good walk-in shower (though hard to regulate the temperature). Fantastic chef, delicious meal, and hot food was piping hot, which is a real treat. Good parking.

Just a tip for other travellers. I like the windows open, sadly we had a mosquito visitor so bring repellent if humid (not pubs fault) and road was a little noisy early morning for me but we’d definitely stay again as these are really very minor points.

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the shower was powerful and easy to operate. The staff were friendly, helpful and very professional in their work. We had breakfasts and evening dinners in the hotel on both days, and the food was beautifully cooked and presented. I can recommend both the steak and ale pie and the fish and chips! There was a choice of local ales, all good too.

The en-suite shower room was on the small side, but apart from that everything was just fine.
