Impromptu stopover off on the way home from a weekend away at a family wedding, lovely Sunday lunch, room was clean, basic, comfortable & great value.
The staff that we met were all wonderful, an absolute credit to the wheatsheaf & by extension chef & brewer, they were all so friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back to visit this place again..

Best bed we slept in on the whole trip. The grounds are absolutely beautiful- a real escape from the world.

The location was well situated near the motorway but not so close that noise pollution invaded the room and created difficulty sleeping or any other discomfort. Only a short walk to Basingstoke town centre for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also to have a look around the town and shopping centre. The room was larger than expected, very modern, nicely decorated and clean. The bar area on the ground floor was well decorated, clean, the staff were really nice and helpful and the whole hotel had a really nice atmosphere.
In Kingsclere, Hampshire, Sandford Springs Hotel and Golf Club offers luxury accommodation along with a high-quality restaurant and bar.

Having stayed in a large chain hotel in Newbury only the night before my stay. The words that come to mind is chalk and cheese. The staff at the Beach were excellent polite well trained and looked to enjoy their jobs. The polar opposite to the night before.
This is a gem and i will be returning in may.

A little village out in the sticks, You need a car to get there.
We stayed at the Beach Arms in Oakley on the main A3400 road,
It isn't easy to find if you go the A303 route as we missed it completely coming from the other side of Salisbury, and ended up in Winchester first.
The best way is to take the M3 and then come off for Basingstoke, follow the signs for Newbury and the A3400 will appear on the signs. It is well hidden.
Stayed in one of the Innkeeper Lodges. Noisy if you stay at the front of the building, but we were right at the back, there is only 22 rooms, we had room 21. Backs onto fields.
The pub had special offer prices, like the Hungry horse franchise, and service was very quick, considering the covid 19 rules. Staff were very friendly and explained it all beforehand. Breakfast is payable and in the pub in the morning.
Oakley itself is very small, like all the villages in the area, it is sprawled out. We didn't cover the village, but I'm sure it must be as pretty as all the other villages around it.
Our hotspot was Winchester - Saturday, busy and bustling, A hotspot for the Covid 19, no wonder considering the way the cafes and restaurants were packing people in, side by side. We didn't dare go in.
Mask wearing there wasn't much to be seen. The Great Hall, what's left of the Winchester Castle is worth a look into our British history. £4 to get in, ideally book online to avoid queues, but the same price turning up at the door. Alot of money, for quite a little to do. Times online are to allow for 30 people in per hour. You will only get in on adhoc if it's not busy. Best to book online
The area of Oakley and villages are difficult to navigate without a satnav, I would avoid it in future for a short trip.

We booked this late in the day purely as a stop over en route to Cornwall. It was cheap because of the late booking and it more than served a purpose. Comfortable room, it was attached to a pub so the evening was sorted. All together I would recommend but book as late as you possibly can!

Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife.
Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife. On my way up the drive, there was a Green Woodpecker, standing in the verge, a Gold Finch flew in front of the car and landed on the fence next to me. and when I opened my curtains in the morning there was a hare running across the lawn! On my way back down the drive there were two, what I think were grouse right next to the road.
The location was far away from the attractions we had booked and taxi’s had to charge from Basingstoke so more expensive. The hotel manager was sour and moody, staff were young and impolite.
The room was cold, mould around the window and in need or decorating. The bathroom shower was good but the toilet did not flush. Took at least 5-6 attempts to clear the pan. This was in all 3 rooms.
Restaurant and food poor.
I had trouble with getting hot water in the sink, the water sprayed everywhere and never got warm.
I didn't have a shower because I couldn't be bothered to get dressed then ask for a bath mat also not sure if the water would be warm/not enough
Otherwise the heating eventually came On in the room but I was glad of the borrowed heater in the morning.
I love this hotel, very quiet and good staff
well cooked all you can eat breakfast regularly changed so its not all dried out,paid extra and had mushrooms they were worth it .Liked the fact that the room was serviced daily and the tea and coffee topped up,it the little things that make the difference. Ate in the hotel one night and the food was very nice well priced and tasty
All of it. I have stayed in many chain hotels in the area (travelodge Premier inn to name a few). My stay at the beach exceeded all of these. I will be returning to this hotel when i am back working in the area.
