La Bateria de The Needles

The property was advertised as being pet-friendly but on arrival they couldn’t accommodate our King Charles Cavalier so I had to travel home to Kent with my dog, leaving my daughter and partner at the hotel. I then had to travel back to the hotel early the next morning to collect my family.

My wife and I only stayed one night in this Quaint Inn that has a lovely vibe and we would definitely stay here again. The room was nice, clean and had plenty of tea/coffee. Couldn't sample the breakfast because we were up and away early. However, we did have our evening meal here and can say the food was very good. The staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. We chose the Poachers Inn based on previous reviews and location (being 20-30mins away from Farnborough international conference centre / airport) and so glad we did.

Room was okay. They put us out in the Grange even when that was not made clear in the booking and it did not seem that the main building was full. Rooms were decent but bathrooms especially need upkeep - missing tiles, tight handles for spout etc. Breakfast was better than expected had vegan butter / soy milk. Limited staff so not easy to get help etc. They had golf carts that should have been able to take people (especially old people in the cold) from one end to the other end of the property but no body around to drive them.
