The hype
Great for a social weekend with mates, but couples seeking romance often leave disappointed by the noise and tired spa.
Old Thorns Hotel, Golf And Country Estate
$115-180/ 晚
如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You're a golf group or hen party looking for a loud, all-in-one resort where the drinks flow as freely as the spa treatments.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- Massive 18-hole championship golf course designed by Peter Alliss
- Self-catering apartments that are perfect for large groups
- On-site Starbucks and Sports Bar mean you never have to leave the complex
快速概覽： It’s less 'serene country manor' and more 'Vegas-style resort in the Hampshire countryside'—expect noise, crowds, and a lot of fun if you're in the right mood.
由 @Louisecarolann 評論: I found this hidden gem in Liphook and was blown away by the amenities. The thermal suite has an ice fountain, the pool is massive, and the gym looks right out onto the golf course. For £12.50, it's an absolute steal for a day of self-care.

Reality check
The 'resort' label is doing a lot of heavy lifting—service can be impersonal and the sheer scale means long walks to amenities.
- You are planning a stag/hen do or a golf trip with 4+ people
- You want a lively atmosphere where you don't have to whisper
- You prefer a casual 'Sports Bar' vibe over stuffy fine dining
清潔與維護
7.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable in rooms, but common areas (hallways, stairwells) can get scuffed and crumb-filled during busy wedding weekends.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms in renovated rooms are sparkling; older rooms and spa changing areas have reports of moldy grout and hair in drains.
- Maintenance: A major weak point. Expect peeling paint in corridors, broken spa jets, and the occasional out-of-order lift.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade. Crisp enough, but spa towels can feel thin and over-washed.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of expensive diffusers; hallways can smell of stale beer or food late at night.

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is the spa free for guests?
Pool and gym access is usually included, but robes, slippers, and specific treatments cost extra. The 'Wellness Suite' may also have a surcharge depending on your package.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Hit or miss. Superior and Deluxe rooms generally do, but many Standard rooms and the Eco-Pods rely on fans, which can be brutal in summer.
Is it pet friendly?
No, Old Thorns has a strict no-pets policy.
How far is the train station?
Liphook station is about a 5-minute taxi ride or a 30-minute walk (not recommended with luggage).
Can I walk to a pub?
Yes! The Deers Hut is a fantastic traditional pub just a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel entrance.
Is there EV charging?
Yes, there are Tesla Superchargers and standard EV points in the main car park.
內幕秘訣
- ✨
The 'Sports Bar' serves food later than the main restaurant and is often cheaper/faster.
- ✨
If the main pool is packed with kids, check if the 'Wellness Suite' offers a paid upgrade for a quieter soak.
- ✨
Apartment guests have their own dedicated parking area—use it to avoid the main lot chaos.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'Eco-Pods' are basically glorified sheds; only book if you truly want a camping experience.
💡The walk from some rooms to the spa involves traversing public corridors—bring a cover-up unless you're brave.
💡The on-site Starbucks is a massive bonus, as the in-room instant coffee is mediocre.
💡The 'Champagne Bar' often closes earlier than you'd expect, funneling everyone into the loud Sports Bar.
💡You can hear the driving range 'thwack' from some golf-view rooms starting very early in the morning.
