Premier Travel Inn Basingstoke - South, Basingstoke

Advantages: Good clean room
Disadvantages: Lack of customer service

...Hello and welcome. Thought that I would write about my experience at the Premier Travel Inn at Basingstoke. A week before I officially left my current job, I organised a leaving do with the people I work with in Basingstoke. Basingstoke!!! I hear you cry, well yes. I live just outside Croydon and travel 70 odd miles to Basingstoke about 3 or 4 days of the week. This was one of the reasons as to why I got a new job as the travelling was seriously getting me down. I thought to myself as the last train that I can get to Clapham Junction from Basingstoke is at 1036, there is very little chance of me leaving early on this occasion to get home, besides I am probably going to be in the kind of state that not many people would want to lay beside me, on this occasion this included the other half, as she suggested I stay down and travel back...

...On our recent trip to Las Vegas, we had to fly from London Gatwick. Living in Wales, driving up on the morning of the flight would have been fraught and not very pleasant, so we decided to do the decent thing and splash out and treat ourselves (!) to a night in a Premier Travel Inn.

.... The Walled Garden is easily identified by the large ornate front gates. All main bus routes from the town centre pass here on a regular basis but to be honest I don't think it's really worth spending travel fare on. *** What Is It? **** The fully enclosed walled garden is situated in Basingstoke, Hampshire. The land used to part of the historical Down Grange Estate in 1800 and originally served as a kitchen garden to The Down Grange House. As you approach through the entrance gates, it resembles something from “Narnia”, this is truly a delightful ‘secret’ garden that you least expect to find, just off Pack Lane. Today Basingstoke and Deane council own operate and maintain the Walled Garden as a public garden and wildlife area. Original features however still remain such as the yew hedges, croquet lawn and beautiful gothic... Read review
