The Lismoyne Hotel

What this hotel calls "Traditional - Elegant - Stylish" I would call "Dated - Rundown - Tasteless". I stayed here on business and it was one of the worst I have stayed in a long time.

The room seemed sadly left in the past and whilst nostalgic (my late nan had a similar bathroom) it wasn't comfortable. The room was very hot and stuffy and left my cloths with a musky smell which I noticed when I moved onto another hotel. The surrounds however were beautiful particully with the aged tree at the front.

Finally the breakfast was also dissapointing with very limited options compared to similar costing hotels. In my opinion this hotel needs investment as it has the potential.

Terrible. They price gouge and the room is awful. Bad mattress, no air conditioning, leaky plumbing and poor amenities. Also charged me for nights I did not stay even though I gave them ample notice per their own policies. Do not stay here especially if you are going to Farnborough air show. Pick another hotel.

We got married at the Lismoyne Hotel in July 2022 and I can wholeheartedly say that if you are looking for a wedding venue I cannot recommend the Lismoyne enough!
The staff were absolutely amazing on the day, nothing was too much to ask. The day ran so smoothly with their help and all the staff were so kind and friendly.
The food was delicious with decent sized portions and the chef was very accommodating for vegan/vegetarian and gluten free alternatives.
The rooms were comfortable and well priced for our guests including breakfast the next day.
If you are looking for a good value location for your wedding day I would very much recommend this hotel :)

My wife and I spent a very pleasant afternoon indulging in Afternoon Tea which we both enjoyed. Hotel surroundings and rooms were just as we hoped for. The staff were very friendly and attentive and available to make our visit enjoyable. Thank You

Excellent hotel in a nice setting with helpful, professional staff. Booked last minute after travelling down for a weekend at Goodwood Revival for just one night, after moving on from an awful hotel at Winchester from the Friday. Astounded by how pleasant this place is for the price. Clean, comfortable well appointed rooms, exceptional staff, good food, excellent bar and a nice setting in a handy location. I wish we had found this hotel in the first place, would have paid double to the Lismoyne, to not stay in the first hotel for the first night and spend the whole weekend here. I would actually consider booking this hotel again just for weekend away. No complaints at all, can’t fault the place. Especially for the price.

A hotel with character! Some lovely staff on reception, bar and younger wait staff. Three course dinner on Thursday night was excellent. Will definitely visit again.

We visited for afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon. We were sat at an uneven table of which I had to sort out myself. (not a slight wobble, but more so a kids slide) We did ask for it to be rectified of which they managed to get someone from maintenance that then adjusted the 3 inches of napkin that I had placed there 20 mins previous. The waitress then managed to deliver the desserts, then sandwiches but no tea until we asked. 3 of us asked for coffee but were not offered a refill. However one of the cups had coffee stains and lipstick on it, of which we then had to ask for a replacement. After at least 10 minutes of waiting, we had to get up and go to the bar and get a replacement cup. No apology at all. We were there for over 2 hours and not once were we asked if we were ok or needed anything else. They were not busy. There were three members of staff chatting at reception for most of our visit. We asked if we could pay and they said yes but did not tell us that we had to go to the bar to do this, so we waited and waited. The sandwiches still had the crust on the outsides which is not a typical feature of afternoon tea. Sandwiches for 26 quid should not have their crusts on FFS. I'm sure there will be other things I remember but this will do. So, if you want to take people you really want to get revenge on, for example a dysfunctional relative or friend, then go forth and get booking. If not, avoid.

We visited for the New Year's Eve function. Overall I can't recommend this hotel. On arrival we were told there was no room booking in our name, despite advising they had confirmed the booking to us. Eventually the error on their part was blamed on a staff member 'who had left'. As the hotel was not full we were able to get a room. The evening function was reasonable, though not that special. Marking this as poor is very much in recognition of the fiasco that was breakfast! The buffet was empty with guests waiting for it to be restocked. All the while more guests waited. By now no juice, no glasses. Again a queue of waiting guests. Each time things were replenished it was soon empty. No tea or coffee at the tables. When the coffee arrived, no milk. Complaints that the milk eventually given was off. Insufficient cutlery on tables, the list goes on. Was jus waiting for John Cleese to arrive! Overall a shocking breakfast experience. Room OK but a musty, smokey smell on stairs, carpets. A tired hotel.
