Audleys Wood Hotel, Basingstoke

Attended a wedding. Wonderful characterful property. Attentive staff and comfortable facilities. Lovely grounds.

As a writer and composer, discovering Hampshire felt like finding the quiet crown of England. When your soul longs for peace, inspiration, and a moment suspended in time, this place gently appears—like an answer you didn’t know you needed. Audley's wood reminded me that creativity often just needs the right space to unfold. And this hotel isn’t just a space—it’s a warm embrace. A sacred pause. A place where ideas come alive again. I originally planned to stay only three nights… but I’m staying four more. I didn’t expect to stay a full week. But when a place welcomes you with such grace, such excellence, such kindness—you don’t want to leave. You simply want to stay. Or return again and again. Here, I found the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever experienced. But more than the food, it’s the way people make you feel—like you matter, like you’re home. Thank you, Audleys wood For being one of my favorite hotels in the world, and for giving me one of the most beautiful, soul-nourishing moments of my life. With all my heart, Alex Sirvent

Exactly what I needed for a relaxed evening and best sleep I’ve experienced in a long time. From the incredibly helpful and supportive staff member who checked me in and the lovely gentleman who checked me, and the senior member of staff who helped me move my (excessive for the stay!) luggage from my room to reception ready to load up into the car to the happy, ever helpful and polite restaurant staff at breakfast and the light and airy breakfast room partnered with the outside, tables under sun brollies to guarantee a relaxed start to your day. Its location also guarantees long relaxed walks among the surrounding woodland

Beautiful hotel with lovely grounds in a converted 19th mansion. Great restaurant and bar, too.

Lovely hotel Staff very friendly and helpful. But a big bear of mine in hotel rooms is when the kettle & tea tray aren’t situated near a plug!

Gorgeous room with great amenities. Breakfast absolutely lovely with lots of choice and breakfast room bright and airy. Only issue was getting into the large bathtub for the shower, especially for the older guest. Overall a very friendly hotel stay!
