Bowerchalke Hotels

"Location of the hotel was perfect. Everything was a short walk to the cathedral, shopping, market place and Elizabeth gardens. We parked in the short term car park on Brown street and the hotel provided a parking card for £6 a night which is reasonable. The also provided a fan as it was hot. Missing is a mini fridge. That would have been nice to keep our drinks cold."

"There was no lift and although staff helped me with my case,I still had to climb up and down to the 2nd floor. I had asked for a lower room because I have severe heart failure, despite having booked in January, there were many people, far fitter than me on the 1st floor. My room was clean but the curtain was not hanging properly. Many of the carpets need a clean, so did the big window on the stairs which was filthy with cobwebs, The garden needed tidying up, there were cigarette butts everywhere. The parking was perfect. Most of the staff were very helpful."

"Easy walk to the beach"

"Tired and worn our rooms."

"Loved our stay so much that I’m booking my next trip now! I took my pug and he had a great time! So accommodating to travelling with your pet!"

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Very close to the centre and the BIC which is where my husband and I went to a concert. Breakfast was plentiful and the room was quiet, clean and comfortable."

"Breakfast was very busy due to a trade union conference and options were limited. Also we were charge extra for coffee on the first day and told on the second day it was free."

"Very tired property. Could do with a revamp. Very noisy all night (2-3am) groups of blokes shouting. Next room blokes shouting. Breakfast was good and staff were ok "

"Fabulous stay at the Crown and the dinner in the restaurant was great. Staff very helpful and great bedroom with a very comfy bed !! My only disappointment was the breakfast choice which was pretty poor. If you are vegetarian there is limited choice with no option to order anything else off a menu. Limited fruit, cheeses and no salad available. Very disappointed and didn’t eat here on our last morning. I would visit again as everything else was great !"
