Great party poor room.
I was there for works party. Had a great night staff and food was spot on. Room was tired, mattress very old and lumpy (107) toilet was dirty and the sink didn’t drain. We only spent a few hours in the room and left at 06.30 no opportunity to let staff know as reception was unattended when we left.

Tired but ok
The hotel should be rebranded to B&B at best. Very dated and in need of lots of TLC. Stayed here when it was quite new and was saddened to see how run down the rooms have been allowed to get wasnt i pressed with cleanliness either. Black mold round the bath. Toilet bowl rim awful and rustying sink. Had to pump toilet for it to flush. Breakfast was not up to much. Had better stays in cheaper hotels. Bed wasnt that comfy either old mattress and flat pillows. Wont be choosing to stay here again. It was adequate for families who needed to be near the zoo but not for a relaxing couples break.😔

Not again
The hotel looks rundown and out dated. the room was very dusty, the shower barely worked, the room was uncomfortably hot despite turning the radiator off, the bed was 2 beds pushed together with the most uncomfortable mattress on it.
When it comes to the breakfast that was a buffet style set up but on some old fashioned portable serving dishes being kept warm with camping style gas stoves which made the food rubbery. They were serving coffee in a portable flask.

Quiet retreat
Such a cute hotel, really friendly and ample free parking. Situated next to the zoo, the area is quiet, relaxed and safe. I will definitely stay here again.

There are no lifts but the staff helped with heavy cases if asked.
There were no glasses for water in the room.
The unique building - based on a jungle theme - was novel but needed refreshing.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel was a plantation style building on stilts built next to a zoo. We were wakened by beautiful exotic bird song ( not lions roaring as we expected). Food and accomodation was well presented and staff friendly. Overall a very unusual hotel tucked away in the Hampshire countryside.

Excessive noise in corridors in the middle of the night, there was a wedding who's guests were less than respectful to those of us not part of the wedding party.
Dinner menu was no better than Weatherspoons.
