Te first morning breakfast was good and the waiter kept topping up your coffee/tea. The second morning service was very slow we were sat at the table for almost half an hour before our order was taken and they only came around once with coffee/tea

We stayed at a local hotel but needed another 3 nights, which wasn’t available, so we tried The Princess Royal and wished we’d stopped here for the whole time as it’s far superior, a nice and friendly pub/hotel, with great food😃😃

Great for a short stay

Lovely room, we had bedroom, living room and large bathroom. We did have an issue on the second night, we arrived back at the hotel just after midnight, the electronic entry card was not working so we could not enter the hotel. They have an emergency out of hours number, I dialled it a number of times, only to go to answer phone. We waited in the car, luckily a member of staff appeared and let us in. that said, I would recommend this establishment, food and service of the best quality.

Great pub/hotel nearby to Farnborough Exhibition

Lovely little pub which myself and colleague stayed in for one night as we were attending a Farnborough exhibition. 15-20 mins max away from Farnborough exhibition hall. Staff here are so friendly and helpful. Special mention to Blake behind the bar for looking after us all evening. The head chef was lovely too and personally came to see my colleague about the lunch she chose on the next day and tailored it to her liking. All in all nice spacious clean rooms which are separate to the pub so nice a quiet too and attached to an excellent proper pub! Well done to you all, would 100% come back after how you treated us at every step of the experience. Food was also very good too! 10/10
