The rooms were lovely, the service great, and food delish. The best location for exploring Jane Austen’s house and easy to get to from Alton Train Station!
The room was super cutely decorated and had exposed ceiling beams. Lots of lighting options and even a mini fridge. Comfy bed.
The pub is a must! Great service, delicious food, dog friendly, and a warm fire going.
Only downsides were the lock on the door - maybe instructions should have been left for this? It was extremely hard to lock and unlock. Something about holding the door handle up at a certain angle for it to work? This should be a very straight forward thing but it wasn’t and was a frustration every single entering or leaving.
And it was rather chilly. It was January and there is a radiator under the window but it felt chilly and one night was very cold.

Small portions of very average food…a party of four and none were impressed, quality was minimal. Beer & wine was decent.
I had the fish pie at gbp 15.25 which had very little fish in & was a tiny portion which had been microwaved way too long it was still too hot to eat after 15 minutes.

Love cosy village pub, set in gorgeous town Alton Hampshire. The atmosphere is perfect for a cheeky pint in a warming place to visit.

Had a Sunday roast, the meat portion size was good, Yorkshire pudding good, everything else was very minimal, also there was to much gravy for my liking, so things got a bit soppy quickly, would much prefer it to come out in a gravy boat. But overall the taste was good just some things to consider.

Dropped into this pub for lunch given was in the area at the time and randomly picked somewhere. The food was not quite gastro quality it was most home cooking and was fine for lunch. Service was good and atmosphere had a really nice country pub feel about it.

Warm friendly welcome. Service was very quick. Delicious food and a wide range of wines to choose from. Popular with the locals. Nice location. Will definitely visit again. The waiter/waitress was lovely...service with a smile. Cannot fault their efficiency during service.
