The Dog & Crook

Food was good and the location excellent.

all seemed up to requirements.

Location as going on cruise from Southampton only 30 mins away. Staff were very accommodating and friendly Room was comfortable. Food excellent

Needs a little TLC - garden and patio areas a bit of weeding and outside tables need a bit of renovation

Really friendly helpful staff. Lovely clean beautifully decorated rooms fabulous cooked breakfast with the best coffee ever!!

Great friendly staff and great room

Lovely room, comfy bed, beautiful decor. Reasonable size. Modern and clean. Nice ensuite bathroom. Outside stairs to reach first floor rooms could be slippery when wet. No air conditioning. Fan was wonky and alarmingly oscillating so we had to switch it off. Hot water was scolding hot and couldn't be turned down which made showering tricky. Good job I didn't need to wash my hair. Weather very hot, so a cool shower would have been useful. Breakfast requests were ignored so the vegetarian was not offered a good breakfast, no vegetarian sausage only beans, egg and toast so very expensive for what was on offer. I am lactose intolerant and again, this wasn't catered for despite when booking in they had assured us they would have soya milk by the morning. They didn't. No vegan spread for toast either. 😒

Location was good

Breakfast - no availability of cereal, yogurt or fresh fruit. The only option was a cooked breakfast - take it or leave it - and not very well cooked. We went elsewhere for breakfast the second morning. Rear garden behind the accommodation block was scruffy with abandoned umbrellas, platic chairs and pallets. Booked dinner for 8 - on arrival at booked time, no table! They pulled a couple of tables together, but they were different heights! For both meals it appeared that everything had to be asked for, including cutlery! Staff didn't appear very confident. Shame.

Pub drink and eats then to our room Perfectnoth

Nothing

The Indian food was amazing and good value

Nothing

Location nice and close to the retirement party in Romsey we went to

We had a bit of trouble with the shower in the morning, it was boiling hot and hard to turn the tap mechanism

Staff were extremely friendly upon arrival and, although we checked in late in the evening, there was even the offer from the kitchen to opn it back up so that they could feed us. The room had a ceiling fan which was needed as it was a very warm weekend.

One of the bedside lamps was a little tired and missing a bulb. It was a little difficult to fill the kettle as it didn't fit under the tap so we improvised by filling a glass with water instead - perhaps a small jug would be useful.

Location and friendliness

Needs a bit of TLC around the decor

Everything.

?

The staff were very courteous and willing to help, but they had not seen the change of date request (sent a week earlier) So it was a booking mess.

The staff were powerless to change the booking when we arrived a day early. Booking.com wouldn't cancel the next nights stay. So we never stayed and everyone lost out, except booking.com. Its the first time a change of date hasn't been responded to by a venue for me.

The Dog & Crook offers 5 modern bedrooms in a detached two story building adjacent to the pub. The bedrooms are of a good standard even running to a ceiling fan that was much appreciated in the recent hot spell. The pub restaurant offers a selection of pub meals as well as a reasonable choice of Indian cuisine. Service was always obliging and personable. Breakfast was available and given a choice of items you would normally find on a full English together with tea, coffee, toast and juice. Both the room rate and food and drink prices were very competitive for the area.

Friendly staff, excellent food, quiet room away from pub with fabulous views over fields.

N/a

Quiet and easy parking

Needed another pillow. Shower temp uncontrollable

Clean tidy rooms, staff very pleasant

Price a little high for what it was but the breakfast certainly over priced at £12.99 No fruit cereal etc no menu to choose from only full English or bits from that. No accommodation for allergies, no gluten free bread etc. Rather poor

The location was good but room very basic and needed upgrading.Had a ceiling fan which was not efficient so really warm,it also spread small amounts of black particles all over the bed.The wardrobe was a short pole and no coat hangers.The shower was so hot couldn't use it.

All of the above.

Attractive Friendly staff. Accommodation in a separate building. Excellent Indian food

The shower head was faulty

excellent breakfast good bar area, drinks prices not excessive Staff were very attentive and with a pleasant disposition

Breakfast was great and I didn’t need lunch!! Fairly sure they cook to order Even heard another family saying how fresh the food was

I was made to feel very welcome on arrival. The food I ordered was excellent and there was a good selection of beers. Room was comfortable and spacious. Also very clean.

Couldn't fault it for a short stay

Good location nice room, good Indian food served in pub

Ideal location for a night during a rural weekend in England, a short drive to a number of locations in the area. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the pub was nice and the room was perfectly clean.

Nothing was particularly bad, but one are of improvement might be to have a travel-size soap-bar in the room. Of course no since-use plastics, just a soap wrapped in paper.

Breakfast was good. Awkward down little lanes to find the accommodation.

Better hospitality tray.

Clean and spacious, comfortable beds, everything you would expect at a great price. The food is excellent and the Indian/English fusion worked very well. The curry was exceptional.

Excellent friendly staff,great food , staff couldn’t do enough, great breakfast .

Nothing to dislike

I did not opt for breakfast. Location was suitable for me as I was visiting family nearby

A fridge in the room would have been helpful

It was a clean average room. The breakfast was English with no variation (so I was told). There was no cereal or juices.

The noisy couple in the same building that rowed all night.

We had a lovely stay for 3 nights. The room was big and very clean. Staff was excellent. We enjoyed the wonderful view from the little terrasse in front of the room.

Everything was perfect.

Location, staff & food were excellent

Stairs and guest above very loud. Towels, bed not changed for 3 nights I stayed there. Maybe change every other day?? Beer garden is right outside your room so very little privacy ( basically close curtains if your a downstairs room or when on your bed people can actually see you.

Situated within easy reach of Southampton and the New Forest Attractions, this venue represents excellent value for money in my opinion. I have rated it as an 8/10 for the following reasons. The bedrooms are in a recently built annexe, and my room was on the first floor. Access is by outside metal staircases, which were a little challenging for me due to mobility issues. Fortunately it was dry and the stairs were not slippery on this occasion. There are two ground floor rooms, so when I stay there again I shall request one of them. The room I used was sizeable and clean. The bed linen was spotless, and it was a very comfortable bed. However, it is a single and the duvet was a little narrow, leaving draught entrances when in bed. The full length mirror in the room was on the floor leaning against the wall at an angle and needs to be hung properly. The tea making shelf was loose on the wall and could not be used safely. There is no wardrobe, just a rail with hangers. The curtains were flimsy and let in all of the early morning light, which compounded the problem of the bright green LED light in the smoke detector on the ceiling above my bed which irritated me all night. These are all very easily remedied issues and should not detract from an otherwise comfortable room. The shower was excellent. Plenty of hot water at a good pressure. The pub has it's own restaurant, and I went for the fish and chips. The service was very slow, however the waiter was very polite and attended to all my needs, albeit slowly. My meal took an hour to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Superbly cooked, a sizeable and really fresh piece of fish, and superb chips. I would say as good as any I have had, including the excellent Colmans in South Shields or any Harry Ramsdens. I ordered breakfast, an extra £10 which I thought was reasonable. It was presented well and very tasty, in particular the sausage.
