Dibden Purlieu Vacations from $733

I arrived a day early by accident 😬 but the staff were amazing and changed my day for me which i was truly grateful for. The room was spotless with a heater, fan, iron, hairdryer, kettle etc... I had a lovely evening swim in the heated pool. I didn't eat there as i was with my 13 year old daughter so we went to the nearby shopping center for food and a mooch around but the food at the hotel smelt so nice and it looked good with a nice bar and lounge area. Would recommended and would certainly stay again 😊

Excellent Staff. Very Welcoming. Room Dated but spotless. Lots of parking. Only thing not giving 5 Stars is the Commmon areas and Bathroom very dated. Carpets very worn in places. Some refurbishment underway . Location Excellent. No hesitation in recommending.

Clean room, great views of the cathedral, comfy bed, excellent blackout curtains for a good night sleep. But noisy plumbing kept waking us up - it needs some updating. Good place to stay for one night.

Unlike almost everything else at the Old Thorns, the breakfast was really sub standard. Tough leathery bacon, tinned mushrooms and (what tasted like) powdered scrambled eggs. I've had better breakfasts in a Travel Lodge! Also, if it was not included, they charged nearly £17 each for it! Such a shame. The wedding catering we attended was very good by comparison.

This exquisite little hotel is an architectural gem, beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms with sumptuous bathrooms, designed for luxury getaways. No food service is offered, except a token continental morning starter, but ample dining is available within walking distance. Hotel staff is very helpful, friendly and discreet. We would gladly have spent more nights here, and heartily recommend the Carlton for a unique experience.
