Porchfield Vacation Packages

On arrival, there was nobody on the reception desk, and after waiting for a short while we had to go and find a staff member to check us in. The rooms whilst dated were clean and comfortable. Having booked a dinner bed and breakfast rate, we were disappointed to find that the dinner options were very limited, due to the hotel being refurbished according to a staff member. Breakfast buffet the following morning was fine, there was a good choice of hot and cold food. The coffee machine was out of beans though and once refilled would not work, which was disappointing. Overall a decent hotel, the main issue being the renovation and an apparent shortage of staff.

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

Disappointing that extra charges for amenities were applied. Hotel location is not great.

Excellent check in with friendly staff. The room was mostly clean just a little unclean under the sink in the bathroom on the tiles in room 109. The bathroom flooded when using the shower and this was not just me as the wood on the bottom of the door was expended so suggests is a normal practice. The bathroom also had a wire attached to the radiator above the bath that did not look well covered. So no issues with the room but bathroom needs some love overall. Great facilities - we used the sauna and pool but we could have played tennis if staying longer. Overall 4/5 stars for me.
