A great hotel with clean and spacious rooms. The location is very quiet, perfect for a peaceful stay. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made. Highly recommend!

Had a look on google and some of the rooms look nice. My room was horrible. Scratty shower that was barely attached to the wall and covered in grime. Whole bathroom needs ripping out and starting again. Room in general was very outdated and door was an old cheap pvc door. Bar on the other hand was nice, all staff were polite and food was good. Just update the rooms..

Kind of in the middle of nowhere but nice location. Very friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast but a bit lacking in choice if you don't/can't eat tomatoes, mushrooms & hash browns. Rooms are comfortable and OK just to have somewhere to rest your head.

Unfortunately we were accommodated in one of the rooms in the annex. In fact, nothing worked properly, from the toilet flush to the doors. No hooks for towels, everything old and worn and run down. Almost all of the employees were nice and helpful. All in all, at most the standard of a 2 star hotel! The food was good. But I wouldn't stay there again.

Honestly, our whole stay was chaotic and messy all around. Myself and my family stayed at the hotel for a wedding, and the whole experience left me pretty uncomfortable. My sister had her newborn baby stay with her for the weekend, and had requested a cot for the baby to sleep in. The cot however... wasn't a cot. It was a large playpen for a 1-2 year old, that had no mattress. So not only would the baby not be comfortable sleeping there but it also would not have been safe, as if she were to roll onto her front in the middle of the night she would be at high risk of suffocation. On top of this, the playpen wasn't even in the correct room. We had to run it up a flight of stairs to take it to their room, but ultimately decided that none of this was worth it anyway. We swapped rooms as the room they had been given was on the second floor of a separate backhouse of the hotel, which would have been incredibly difficult and frustrating to get a baby and the pram to and from each day. Additionally neither room was particularly clean, were very dusty, the bathrooms smelled of mold. One of the two rooms had no wardrobe and the other room's wardrobe was very short, which we needed to but was unable to hang a dress in. I wouldn't be so fussy about this usually but when the hotel specifically advertises itself as a location to host weddings at, it feels very bizarre for multiple rooms to have nowhere to hang suits & dresses - especially at the price we paid. Breakfast was decent, classic fry up with some cereals & hot drinks available on buffet, can't complain there. Dinner the day before however was pretty bad. Some pub classics you could realistically get anywhere else, at an insane 20 pound price point. The burger I had was not great either. The meat seemed to have come from frozen, the bun was stale and the bacon was pretty poor quality also. The server who took our order was quite rude, but she also seemed very stressed so I hold no grudge there. From what I could tell, she was serving, hosting, running food, working on the bar and the hotel receptionist all at once? I assume for one reason or another they were understaffed that particular day, and if that was the case I know I would be stressed too. I can't complain about the big night itself honestly. The roast dinner we had was decent too, and while things were a little bit unorganised on the hotels part it was nowhere near as bad as the other night had been. The Bride & Groom seemed to have a lovely time which is what matters most, but I know that in the run up they were quite stressed with everything else that was going on which was honestly a real shame. Usually I wouldn't be leaving a poor review - I don't think I'm the type to - but considering the event, the fact that the hotel advertises itself as a venue that can cater towards these events and the extortionate prices we were charged it felt necessary. Can't say I'd recommend at all.

Stayed here for work, booked based on price and flexibility. It was a good price for the area. I was in what I'd describe as annex area, half dozen or so rooms in a separate building. The room was ok, a pretty basic twin bed room but fine for price, clean bathroom, enough towels and pillows, a desk for work, plenty of sockets ( often skimped on elsewhere.) The bed was very comfy. It is a bit out in the country which can be a positive as well as negative, very quiet despite road nearby but a fair way to Alton where I was working. There is a restaurant on site and bar. Food advertised looks ok but I did not partake as was needed in Alton for a few hours and ate there. The breakfast included in price was something else, massive and varied and very tasty. They do cater for gluten free as well which is important to me. On that basis I would recommend the evening food. The rooms seen here on Google and on the web pages probably represent better rooms at a higher price. If I was visiting for leisure I'd want to check which rooms I was getting but if like me this week you are after a value place to stay with great food this is a good option

The carvery is not as good as it used to be. Choice of beef which was so undercooked it was raw , chicken wings (you would expect roast chicken as it was a carvery) or gammon. Choice of desserts on a Sunday has been reduced too. For £14.95 its still quite cheap compared to other places but its not hard to see the quality has gone down.

We recently visited here with friends for a Christmas Lunch. It was great receive a warm welcome and be seated near a festively dressed window with a warm radiator. The dining area was spacious and a Christmas Tree filled a prominent position for all to see. As it was a Christmas lunch we had pre-ordered our choices so were served fairly quickly. My prawn cocktail, followed by turkey was very good - such a huge helping on the plate for my main course, I sadly had to leave some! Our friends enjoyed their food, apart from my husband who had ordered Roast Beef as his main course. It was very dark in colour when served up, and somewhat "leathery" he remarked! The desserts were all enjoyed, followed up by coffee. We were very impressed with our waitress who was both friendly and helpful We would certainly re visit.

I drive past The Angel Inn numerous times a month and finally found the opportunity to stop for a bite to eat. We were greeted by many friendly members of staff, their hospitality was second to none. The bar was spotlessly clean, a good selection of drinks available at a reasonable price. The carvery had a selection of 3 meats with a good variety of vegetables to accompany, plus the obligatory Yorkie! It was all really tasty and most importantly, piping hot. We will most definitely return.

Stayed here for 1 night BB with my husband on a voucher deal. The hotel is very popular with workmen, however don't let this put you off staying. Room was basic and quite minimalist but spotlessly clean and had everything you need - a comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities, TV and free wifi. We had dinner in the restaurant - mine was absolutely fine but my husband said his steak was just 'ok; and he ate it but wished he'd ordered something else as it wasn't cooked to his liking. Our only complaint was that by the time we got down for breakfast - around 8.30, all the hot food items hadn't been replenished and what was available was a bit dried up. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

We stayed for two nights here and it was fine, room basic but good, bed comfy, food good etc. We did have a problem finding it as the post code to us to the middle of nowhere and said You're at your destination! We thought it might be in Privett which is tiny but it is actually on the main road to Gosport!. It is more of a 70's Roadhouse than a country pub with a definite Motel feel about it . But the staff were very helpful and the food was reasonably priced and we were able to explore the area as was our intention.

Checked in late after a wedding. Room was small, next to fire door in corridor, over the top of reception and faced the car park near a main road. Just a bit noisy!Breakfast was from 8-10am. Arrived at 9.30. Food on offer was very disappointing. Hardly any hot food left. We waited for a top up but the chef just wandered out and said there was no more cooking. Grabbed what we could and sat down. Went to check for more and 4 sausages came out. Then coffee ran out. Our stay served a purpose. A one night only stopover, thankfully.

I had one evening meal here while staying in the hotel. The pleasant restaurant area is separate, but next to, the bar area. I went midweek and it was fairly quiet, so easy enough to get a table. The menu is on a blackboard by the bar and has a good selection of traditional bar meals and, considering a lot of the diners would be hotel residents, the prices are very reasonable. Service was prompt and my meal was absolutely fine, as was the accompanying beer.

We went Sunday to meet up with our dad for Fathers Day. We had the carvery which consisted of 3 meats , Beef Gammon and Turkey. I love beef but the joint brought out had blood on the top and was bright pink inside with the juices running red. No thank you it was very undercooked so we opted for the gammon. There were potatoes parsnips and carrots plus Yorkshire puddings. This was missing a decent vegetable selection you generally get at a Carvery and was priced at £11.95 EACH!!!! The plates were more the size of tea plates so it was almost impossible to put any gravy on without it spilling over. This was the worst yet most expensive Carvery I have ever had . I would give it 3 out of 10 and it explains why the place was empty. The staff were all very nice and its done out nice inside they just need to look at the food they dish up. Maximum profit margin I am sure. Would not return for a meal. If they charged £5.99 it would still be too much for what they offer.

This is my first choice standby for when I want a good meal without having to cook it myself! I love the carvery - having various food allergies, it is great to be able to see exactly what is going on my plate and being able to choose how many vegetables and what quantity without having to go into long explanations. The meat is always lovely and the vegetables tasty - I usually try to go a little bit later in the service, which means the cauliflower and/or sprouts are more cooked, I am not a lover of undercooked vegetables, they may be healthier but I can't eat them!

What a wonderful find! I asked my friends who live in the area to take me out to a good pub meal. They suggested The Temple Inn. They had been previously and had the Hungarian Waldorf Salad and the Goulash and raved about it. Oh my gosh. From the warm and friendly welcome to the cosy village pub vibe, a warm heartening fire crackling nicely to chase the winter chills away, this pub is a sure thing. The food though, that’s what sets this pub apart!! It’s so good. The pub has a Hungarian family running it and the influence is found throughout the menu and in the food. Classic pub grub is definitely all there, including the ubiquitous Steak and Ale pie, which I had. The meat was spiced perfectly, the gravy was so delicious and the mash melted in my mouth. The vegetables were steamed for clean flavours and still had a healthy bite to them. My friends had the carrot soup as main and roast lamb. Even though it wasn’t on the menu I asked for Garlic Bread which the team happily provided. It was so fresh and delicious. I have the feeling the make their own bread - but cannot confirm this. Both were very tasty and well prepared. My Pie was the winner though. Dora and Agnes are charming hosts and I absolutely would make a detour to stop and eat here again. (In fact it was so good we all went back the next day for lunch!!!!)
