"We recently stayed at Marwell Hotel for two nights and, unfortunately, it was a mixed experience leaning towards disappointing. On arrival, we were given our key and sent to a room that clearly hadn’t been cleaned—half-made beds, a pint glass, a pepperami wrapper, no towels, and marks on surfaces. We had to carry all our belongings back to reception, which wasn’t ideal. The manager did resolve the issue and offered a complimentary drink while we waited, and we were moved rooms after about 30 minutes, which we appreciated. What let the experience down most was the atmosphere among staff. We witnessed multiple arguments involving management, including one near our room with the cleaning team and another with a receptionist. The receptionist remained calm and professional throughout, but the manager’s behaviour came across as rude and uncomfortable to witness. The second room was acceptable but not without issues—cold on arrival, with no working heating (an oil radiator was provided), and no windows to open, which made the room feel stuffy overnight. There were some positives: the bar food was lovely, and the staff we encountered there were friendly, although clearly understaffed. Breakfast was okay but limited, and service was slow. The hotel itself is in a great location for visiting Marwell Zoo and is peaceful, but it is very dated and in need of refurbishment. The website photos don’t reflect the current condition. The pool was also closed during our stay. "

"Parking was great. Fire alarm went off early in the morning and woke us all up. Corridor lighting was poor, security at front desk was poor"

"Room was huge - we had the disabled access one. The bathroom is the biggest I’d seen. A few stains on the carpet but they been scrubbed as best they could. Would have liked some bedside lights, ended up using the TV on a scrambled signal to give a little light. Staff were friendly and really helpful. To the point of intervening with parking because it’s free at the weekend. Top tip - if you’re heading to Winchester, get the bus. Bus stop a short walk away, the route I direct, every 10mins. £3 til 6pm then £1."

"Overall good again but this time the spa area was under construction and there were kids running arouns, diving and jumping in the pool and screaming. It was so loud it wasnt enjoyable on this visit as no one from the spa was telling them or the parents to control it"

"Clean room, lovely staff, gym was ok for a quick session, "

"Perfect place to stay near Winchester, beautifully furnished with comfy beds, thick carpets, fab bathroom, lots of little luxurious touches and appliances. Gorgeous view from master bedroom. Local shops and pubs if needed and only ten minutes' drive from historic Winchester. Giuseppe and Camillla were perfect helpful hosts. We would very happily return. Highly recommended."

"Excellent well thought out and perfect position opposite Nuffield hospital. Waked across the road to visit and deliver him "

"We were in Southampton to visit a family friend and this rental was 5 minutes away. It was a beautiful, quiet and comfortable location. Watching the foals chase each other or run with their mothers was so enjoyable! We were 20 min from the edge of the New Forest National Park and visited Beaulieu and Lymington for nice walks and delicious food! Bellord and Brown was an excellent brunch and the Fisherman’s Rest was an excellent dinner! We were also an easy drive from Salisbury and Stonehenge. Nearby in Eastleigh, we enjoyed a wonderful brunch at Lakeside Cafe and took some tasty cake to go! Steve was a wonderful Host and appreciated the thoughtful pantry items to get us started. We loved the all in one kitchen appliance that allowed us to enjoy filet mignon and scrambled eggs with our morning coffee. Bonus - all the manuals for the appliances were there in a drawer to know how to go from using a microwave to a grill or convection oven. We look forward to coming back to stay here again next year! Thank you Steve!"

"Lovely converted loft with everything we needed for self-catering holiday. A short drive from Eastleigh where family live."
