There were more stairs than I realised. The mattress and pillows were a little hard for my liking.

Staff were great, very friendly. Food was very good. Room was a very good size.

Breakfast was poor quality, over cooked and dry. For this reason we had our evening meals at other venues

Clean and tidy in a central location, friendly staff.

Not having to chase up staff (who were chatting amongst themselves behind the bar) after waiting 15 minutes to be checked in

Ideal location for visit

No comfortable chair to sit on.

Comfortable bed, tea and coffee available in the room. Good shower and toilet facilities.

Felt like it needed a complete overhaul and decoration. No really bad area but just not up to date or decorated recently. Sad

Location, it was directly opposite the restaurant that was used for a company reunion and next to the mainline train station.

Considering it was a heat wave, we were so glad to have an electric fan in our room!

I'm not a pub person, so I didn't really spend much time in there and didn't really have many dealings with the staff but they were all pleasant. There was a minor issue upon arrival, which was dealt with accordingly by the manager. I would say the continental breakfast, which is my preference, could be improved for the price. The tea and coffee table could be better, I would recommend a tablecloth and make sure they are refilled at all times. There needs to be more than one toaster (which was slow), and replenishing things could have been a bit quicker. All in all this is a good hotel. It is an old building, and the public areas could be made better in appearance as looking a little tired, but the rooms were clean and comfortable. If you are fastidious, there are a few irritations, but if not, they won't bother you.

The location is excellent, right next to the train station with links to London and Basingstoke. Also, there is a bus stop, right outside the hotel, which is very convenient. The beds are extremely comfortable and have plenty of pillows. From the lunch and dinner menu, the food is very good and cooked well. I did not have the cooked breakfast, so I can not rate that, but my daughter had it and said it was nice and she ate it all. The cleaning of the rooms was satisfactory. The shower was good, and the water was hot. The manager is lovely, although sadly I didn't meet him until I was leaving, because I didn't spend much time there only really to eat and sleep.

Communal area of the hotel side of the business appear tired and worn and the decoration in the room show signs that it needs attention. but this is only cosmetic and does not detract from all the positives about The Raven

A little bit of black mould around the bath but otherwise clean.

Nice clean room. The addition of a fan in the room was most welcome during the heatwave. Friendly staff on reception.

Always look for public houses come hotel as this was

But from our room you could hear an annoying hum from possibly the kitchens, probably at other side of hotel wouldn't have been noticeable. avoid rooms 28 and 29.

Great location, just off motorway. Great room very comfortable and 2 pillows. Lovely breakfast. Tesco and local takeaways a short walk away. Very good overall.

Evening meal of scampi was sparse and the tables needed refurbishing. Several small staircases to negotiate.

Nice single room up flights of stairs overlooking the car park towards the railway station. A fan was already running in my room as the outside temperature was 32 degrees. Good size bathroom with bath and shower. Tea/coffee/ Kettle on hand. Pleasant old Tudor building with several floors. Loved the breakfast option of smoked salmon and eggs of my choice. Would definitely stay here again.
