Chalkcroft Lodge - Andover

The owner was thoughtful and helpful.

Upon arrival, the accommodation was cold, and we found ourselves without water initially. While the owners did address the water issue, the overall cleanliness was lacking. The windows were dirty, and the interior felt stale. The lack of basic amenities like a kitchen further complicated our experience, leaving us dissatisfied with our stay.

We had a reasonably large apartment facing garden. We got a bathtub too. The location was nice, really close to beautiful surroundings. It also was in an idillic area.

Everything was amazing during 1 day, truly enjoyed its stunning and quiet location near to beautiful surroundings and the seaside. There were a fridge, an electric kettle and a microwave in my reasonably large room. The stay was LOVELY.

Can't recommend highly enough for a cursory stop

Charming location, comfortable apartment, complete with amenities like free Wi-Fi and tv, perfect for a quick stay before heading out to explore the nearby picturesque village.

All good.

We truly enjoyed being here.

I stayed for one night while riding through the area. The accommodation was a converted barn that felt secure and spacious enough for a group of five. I appreciated the local pub nearby for its home-cooked meals. Unfortunately, the lack of a kitchen and some maintenance issues made things a bit challenging, but overall, it was a memorable experience.

Comfortable beds and excellent host recommendations!

The quirky spiral staircase added a unique touch to the space and provided a bit of character. The garden setting offered a nice spot to unwind after a long day in our travels.

Unfortunately, the place had some real maintenance issues. For starters, there were damp smells filling the living room and the carpets were heavily stained. The absence of a kitchen made basic tasks inconvenient, as we had to rely on water upstairs and risked hearing private conversations from the owner's side due to a large window overlooking the living room. The bathroom was particularly troublesome, with a wobbly toilet seat and exposed electric cables posing safety concerns. The lack of basic amenities like milk or sugar for coffee added to our dissatisfaction, especially for the price point. It was a mixed bag of experience, with potential but needing serious attention to details.

The surroundings were beautiful, and I was lucky to have such attentive hosts. They even recommended local dining options. The apartment was very comfortable and cozy.

No kitchen provisions.

Andover's hidden gem 🌳✨

The spiral staircase was such a cool surprise, and super spacious for all of us! Loved the quiet little garden around, perfect for sipping on beers after a long day. Harriet was like a chommie.

Could've used a sink downstairs, ja no, made washing up a bit of a mission.

a good escape with attentive hosts and unique spiral staircase

Chalkcroft Lodge offers fine surroundings, super comfy beds, and attentive hosts who genuinely care.

The beds were 'super comfy' and I loved the quirky charm of the place. A bit too hot without summer quilts though!

Chalkcroft lodge was a hidden gem! The hosts were super helpful and cute. The place is really spacious and has a nice layout, def one of the best spots for a mini break. You got everything you need for a short stay, including comfy beds and a beautiful setting. Plus, the local pub had fab home-cooked food, awesome after a long ride.

Only downsides were no kitchen and the quilts were way too thick for the heat. Could've used summer quilts instead.

Loved the spacious layout, quirky spiral staircase, fine surroundings, and had fab walks to a nearby pub! We were hosted like family by Giles and Harriet!

The accommodation offered a very nice and comfortable atmosphere. The owner was thoughtful, providing excellent recommendations for nearby pubs that served good meals.

I faced intermittent WiFi, which left me uncertain about staying entertained.
