What guests think

At Sandford Springs Hotel and Golf Club, travellers consistently praise friendly staff, clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a quiet countryside setting, with many enjoying good breakfasts and dinners and views across the golf course.

Rooms are generally modern and well sized, though a few reviews note tired fittings, cold on late arrival, or minor housekeeping issues such as mould or cobwebs, and occasional problems like weak TV reception. Food quality is frequently rated highly, but access to the clubhouse restaurant requires a walk, lighting on the route or driveway can be dim, and on some dates service is limited or closed for events with occasional slow breakfast replenishment. Expect a clean, comfortable stay in a peaceful, slightly remote location best suited to guests happy to drive between facilities.

We chose this location because it's fairly close to Stonehenge and Highclere Castle. Beautiful looking golf course, rooms were reasonably priced but the fish and chips in the restaurant were fantastic - ate it both nights.

Checking in was quick and easy. Condition of room was good. I would have stated excellent but for inadequate lighting, no desk light, and no light above the wardrobe mirror door. The condition of shower sealant was black in a few places. We had to walk to the club house in the evening in the dark. The Street lights leading up to the clubhouse were inadequate as you couldn't see the path you had to walk on. Easy to trip up just before the entrance of the club house.

Could not fault the service, the room, food or golf course (which for most is probably the reason to stay). It is a tucked away, which adds to the beauty and peacefulness. However, we could not get a taxi at short notice, so you really need to be prepared to drive or organise in advance - obviously not the hotels fault. There is not much outside seating to enjoy the weather and views when not golfing but I would stay again.

I returned to the hotel as it's convenient for Basingstoke and in a nice setting. The beds are comfortable and they have different pillows to suit your needs. The hotel was generally clean although the shower could use a deeper clean around the edges.

Shortly after arrival, my wife had a messy accident. This was dealt with promptly, professionally and in person by the receptionist who reflected great credit on the hotel, his manager and himself. As I had no issue with any element of our stay, i can only award the hotel a maximum score but we regard this stay as outstanding and will go out of our way to revisit any time we are in the area.

My only point to mention was, when we arrived after a long drive we couldn’t get anything to eat, the restaurant was closed, went down to the club house, but told they were also closed as they had to prepare for a wedding party! Had to drive to find a pub! The drive entrance could do with a little more lighting, especially the speed bumps! But had a very comfortable two nights! Would recommend!

Was looking forward to the stay thinking it would be of a good standard. May as well just gone to premier inn where at least the staff have manners. Room had mould on walls and bed was uncomfortable with holes in the bedding. And van parked outside our room. Alarm kept sounding from around 11 pm. On contacting reception the man on the phone physically laughed at me about it. It took 3 phoncalls to eventually get this sorted. So got no sleep really was really annoyed and upset. No managers on checking out and still awaiting a response. Also the onsite restaurant was closed as they had set it up ready for a wedding the next day and the bar menu very limited

Location

Set in quiet countryside near Basingstoke and handy for Highclere Castle and Stonehenge, many appreciate the peaceful setting. It is somewhat remote, so driving is typically needed, and path or driveway lighting can be dim.
