Since Britannia have taken over its gone way down hill. The food was shocking, luckily they haven't had it long enough for it to become shabby, but give them time and I'm sure they'll bring it down.

Came for a two day golf break with seven friends. Having read previous reviews I admit to being a bit apprehensive, however apart from not being able to get a coffee when we arrived at 11am everything was pretty much spot on. The rooms were spacious and clean, plenty of tea & coffee quite adequate for our needs. There was a reduced menu for the evening meal, but there was enough choice to suit everyone. Breakfast was either full English or continental. The staff, from the front desk to those working in the bar and restaurant couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Yes the hotel is a little dated in terms of decor and need some refurbishment, but this in no way impacted on the enjoyment of our stay. Everybody was in agreement that they would come again. For the price we paid, which was £69 per person for bed, breakfast, evening meal and two rounds of golf it was unbeatable value.

We only stayed one night B&B so couldn't really rate the facilities,bars and restaurants. Also because of the present situation most facilities were restricted. However our room was nice, lovely comfy double bed each and the breakfast was excellent. Staff were excellent too.

Excellent rooms. I had booked 3 doubles for the 6 of us but because of Covid I additionally booked 2 more. The original 3 were all excellent, with twin double beds and lots of room. Bathroom very good, but be warned bath could get very slippery and there was no anti slip mat. The additional 2 rooms turned out to be suites and were again excellent. Breakfast was full English or continental and both were good value and good enough. The sausages were weird and I would suggest changing the brand used. You will see what I mean

Although tired, room was clean and comfortable. Hotel was operating under COVID processes so I didn't expect it to be a normal visit. Bar food is very basic with 'out of a packet' panini. Evening menu basic, but well executed. Bar understaffed so service very slow - they could literally double their takings with a couple more staff which is a shame when they are targeting high volume society type traffic.

Unfortunately I have to complaint about the service at the hotel, the hotel itself was fine, rooms where perfect and very clean and the facilities or swimming pool, gym etc was more than adequate. My complaint is regarding the evening meal and service, on arrival we where asked to select what we wanted for Dinner so it can all be sorted mainly due to the new COVID restrictions which was fine, we had confirmation that our dinner reservation was 7.30 so all good. Once we sat it took nearly 20mins before both tables where asked what drinks we would like, it then took another 10mins to get these by which time 6 out of 8 of the party had got starters whilst 2 where waiting! These did finally turn up but after the others had finished. We we tried to order more drinks but due to lack of staff and any sort of management this just seemed impossible. Our main meals on one of the tables then came out at 8.55pm and 10 mins later 3 more meals came out, the final meal seemed not to be appearing when finally a waitress came out and advised that they had run out of his but there was a spare burger which he said yes too, by the time this came out we had all finished our meals and his was Luke warm at best. We still struggled to get drinks and the final straw was the waitress coming out at 9.45 to advise there would be no 3rd course because the Chef had decided to leave and said to her that she can either do them or tell everyone there is none. So as u can imagine this put a bit of a bad edge on our weekend god trip, so I feel it only right to send this email as it is not what we expect.

The worst hotel experience I have ever had. Here are some of the low-lights: Despite travelling all morning and arriving about midday, we had to wait around for 30-45 mins to check in. On Friday evening we came down for dinner about 8pm. We had booked and reserved a table in the restaurant. We were told that there would be a wait of about an hour and a half. Whilst inconvenient, we accepted that, took the menus handed to us and went outside to enjoy a drink. About 45 mins later the chap that gave us the menus and reserved the table said they would no longer be serving food. A first for me in any hotel that I have stayed in in any part of the world. We were forced to get a taxi to the nearest town. The cost was around £150 not to mention the time and inconvenience. On the Saturday my party of 4 arrived at breakfast to chaos. There was 1 person running around trying to clear tables show guests to their seats and deal with any questions. About 20 or so members came in and helped themselves to the breakfast buffet and cleared it out meaning we had to wait for 10-15 mins whilst stocks were replenished. The breakfast was very average and the bacon was practically raw. There was stale coffee in a large canteen and the "hot" water for the tea was luke warm at best. The room was average with no air conditioning and a window that opened approx 2 inches. The staff were quite pleasant and apologetic but there was simply just not enough of them to do the job. I shall be asking for a full refund as my two days away were completely spoiled by such shoddy treatment. Apalling. I also know were were not alone - anyone I spoke to said the same thing about the service.

This was our 3rd visit to the hotel but the 1st since it has become part of the Britannia chain. In the past as a Marriott hotel, we have had a superb time. The food was great in the past as was the hospitality.When we arrived and went up to our rooms, we noticed that the corridors were lined with empty beer and wine glasses, which were still there on our departure. Dinner was pretty average on the Friday evening but served quite quickly, which was a different story all together on the Saturday when we had been sat down for an hour and only had our main course. I had ordered taxis for us to go out and had to change those times and then had to leave before the desserts came out as the taxis we had reordered for half an hour later had arrived. This was totally down to a staff shortage and lots of other guests were complaining as well. We had a bit of a fright when we went down for golf on the Saturday afternoon for our 3 tee times only for the guy in charge to tell us that we were not on the list for that day or the next. I had to go back to my room to get the details to show him. He then managed to squeeze us in at a later slot for both days. The course was great and in very good condition but due to the experience at the hotel we would probably not stay there again. I just want to add that any problems were down to the hotel and communication between departments and completely out of Your Golf Travels hands.

We were very disappointed in our stay at this hotel. Although the rooms were clean and comfortable, we found the food and drink available to purchase expensive. We had a very poor experience with our evening meal. The service was very slow, as a group of 12 people only 7 starters arrived initially. We had to wait a further 30mins for the remaining 5 starters, that had to be sent back as the soup was cold. When we got our main courses 90 mins after sitting down, the food was dry and disappointing. The hotel was not keen to offer any compensation to our group for this very poor meal.

Our weekend away with friends (4 golfers in all) at Meon Valley was very enjoyable...despite the weather! We were fortunate enough to play the championship course at Meon Valley on the Saturday. This is a good test of golf for all levels of golfers, with some stunning par 3 holes and some dog leg holes which were really challenging. At Meon Valley it’s more about where to put the ball rather than simply standing up and blasting it! The hotel was great value for money – dinner was well served, there was a good choice on the menu, wine was a little pricey, but overall the dining experience was very good. Breakfast was a feast, with anything and everything you could think of to choose from! The people at Your Golf Travel were great to speak to, knowledgeable and very responsive to our requirements (Golf, beer, food, bed, more golf!). It’s always reassuring when everything clicks into place and we will certainly be in contact with you guys for our next golf break.

Lovely course, well laid out with a good mixture of holes and some nice par threes. Our first round was good with no hold ups, however on our second round we experienced some delays. Overall the course was in reasonable condition, my only moan was the amount of un repaired pitch marks on the greens, nothing to do with the greens staff, just the uneducated, lazy golfers preceding us. We as a group would definitely play here again.

The course is excellent for a play and pay and had some very interesting holes which you learned how to play on the first round. Pace of play was slow on day 1 ( Friday) and took our 3 ball approx 4 hours. We were waiting on every hole from 10 onwards. Day 2 is was very slow eg 5 hour round. We were waiting on every hole from the 2nd onwards. My advice would be employ the starter to go around and penalise the groups who have dropped 3 holes in the first 12 holes !!! As was the case with the group infront of us

On arrival we checked in to the golf shop, who had no record of our bookings for our two rounds of golf, so please make sure you take some form of confirmation with you. We had to settle for tee times that were spare rather than the ones we had reserved. The golf course is lovely and the reason why we came to Meon, so thats a good start. Unfortunately if you are playing on a Sunday expect a 6 hour round, we gave up on the 15th after over 5 hours. No marshals to monitor play so this took the shine off our experience. We had a little moan to the golf shop who gave the impression that it was tough luck. On the Monday I explained our experiences to the golf shop staff and said that we had booked through YGT and the reply was " Its nothing to do with us". No apology, no lets see what we can do to make your experience better. Unfortunately this has made me rate the staff lower than I would normally. Im sure this is a one off experience and anyone thinking of going to Meon should judge it for themselves, for the record Mondays golf was the usual 4 hours

Having booked 2 rounds on the 18 hole championship course with confirmed tee times, we were very disappointed that no tee times had been booked and we had to play on the 9 hole academy course with front 9 holes only of championship course. This 9 hole course was not of the same standard as the 18 hole course, and we were disappointed with the course and greens. The main course was in good condition, however the overall experience was let down by the lack of organisation.
