Winchfield accommodation from NZ$136

This hotel was perfect for what we wanted/needed. Somewhere the kids could enjoy and the swimming pool made that just right. The food for dinner and breakfast was so well thought out. Something for everyone and the taste was lovely. Our second time of staying and I would always recommend and go back.

As I was on a business trip I needed to be out by 8am. Surprisingly, they don't start breakfast service until 8am on weekdays so not an option. Room was fine, a single with enough space.

Parking easy & a lot of spaces. Kingsize bed & bedding very comfy. Clean & in relatively good decor aside from water stains on ceiling in bedroom area. Good facilities - iron & ironing board, a long mirror as well as table one, a safe, a fridge & a hairdryer. Bathroom compact but clean & well thought out with a bath & powerful overhead shower. Grout immaculate. Toiletries from the White company. Towels white & in good condition. I liked the references to Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn in the bedroom & bar area downstairs. & the bar area looked very welcoming. Breakfast quite basic, but plentiful & perculated coffee was nice. However our omelettes were overcooked, my husband got cheese & tomato instead of tomato & onion which he asked for & the toast was a bit burnt. Unfortunately it was just lack of general maintenance & the breakfast that let it down. E.G. The room was very cold. It was not until morning that we noticed that the main window by the bed doesn't shut completely as no clip for the latch on the handle to lock into! 2 of the lamps in the bedroom didn't work so had to ask for new lightbulbs. When I asked for new bulbs, the staff member had to come and test them himself before he would believe me! Mirror in the bathroom was meant to light but didn't work. Aforementioned water stains on ceiling. Blind on small window broken & Blind on ceiling window damaged so couldn't open. Only 2 sachets of coffee and 3 teabags. If all resolved, I would have scored higher.
