Merstone Vacation Packages

Ok place for a night away. Food was nothing special and the food quality for breakfast wasn't good.

The view of Winchester Cathedral from my bedroom was amazing. All of the staff were extremely helpful and positive including promptly resolving air temperature issues in my room. The room was spotlessly clean. But the room felt rather tired with scratched and battered furniture and a dated bathroom. The decor in the bar and restaurant did not reflect the historic location of the building and seemed very generic and unimaginative

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here at The Raven and it certainly won't be the last. The staff are all fantastic, friendly, helpful, and even though they are all busy they are all really cheerful and take time to interact with you. Yes, admittedly the rooms look a little tired and dated, but they are clean, have everything you need and more importantly I sleep like a log here as the bedding is lovely and the beds extremely comfortable. Plus, staying on my own here as a female traveller, I felt extremely safe and at no point felt uncomfortable. As long as you give your registration number when you check in, parking is free, and there is a big car park with plenty of space. Quality of sleep is the most important thing anywhere you stay, and that coupled with the outstanding staff, makes The Raven a great place to stay

Staff were great and very helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable (pity no AC, as it was hot though). Only 10 min walk to town. Easy free parking on site. Lady looking after breakfast was a star. Recommended.

I checked in late, to welcoming and patient staff. Parking was a breeze, as was finding my room, and resting my head and falling right asleep because it was so peaceful and quiet. It was just what I needed to decompress.
