Stay away for family wedding
Our room was very nice, clean and had all the amenities you need. But for us arriving back after the pub had closed at just 10.15pm we had to use the night entrance and had to literally climb over all the dirty laundry bags that had filled the stairwell access to all rooms! In addition, a few minors for us - Toilet roll - absolutely shocking! Shower gel etc attached to the wall and very hard to get access to! (Lovely brand through) Poorly designed shower cubicle with poor flow shower head. Finally, not your fault but a really hard location to get a taxi to and from for any events you may be attending locally!

What a gem this place proved to be
Spending just over a week for the Farnborough International Airshow so wanted somewhere outside of Farnborough but within a 30 minute commute. What an absolute gem of a place😊, only 6 rooms but the rooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen team turn out fantastic quality food. Laurie and his team are incredible and so welcoming. I will certainly be making my reservation for the 2026 show.

Thoroughly recommend Binsted Inn
Clean well maintained suite of rooms. It seemed the accommodation was recently re-furnished. Fixtures and fittings were of a good standard. Toilets in the bar area were very clean with quality fittings. Live folksy live guitar evening, which we sadly missed. The lady who deal with us was very helpful Some more vegan options on the menu would have made us stay for dinner sampling some local craft beers.

Beautiful room
The inn is situated in a very quiet village. Really beautiful interiors and rooms are gorgeous. We ate in the restaurant and it was very busy so service was a bit patchy. The young staff members were very nice but not very organized. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

Great little stay!
Beautiful pub and very clean modern rooms! Unfortunately it sounded like a radio was on in the pub kitchen from very early and there were times where we had to wait at the bar for some time as it was left unmanned. Otherwise, amazing food and a lovely stay!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Our stay was mixed. Our bed was very comfortable although one hears the noise at night from the pub. The room was clean and well equipped but the shower was not great. Water pressure very low and so so hot water. Perhaps most disappointing was the breakfast. It starts at 9am which is quite late. One morning we missed altogether because we had to be up and out before then (and no offer to give boxed provisions). The next morning we got to breakfast at 9am sharp and by 940am we were still not served. We had an appointment at 10am so when the meal did arrive it was a less than optimal experience. And no offers to refill our hot drinks. Staff were not unfriendly but were far from welcoming. I would not return and would choose another spot in a lovely area.
