Fernbank Hotel

Fernbank Hotel sits in a leafy residential part of Basingstoke close to the town centre, giving the stay a quieter conservation-area setting without putting the centre out of reach.

Fernbank Hotel is a bed and breakfast at 4 Fairfields Road in the Fairfields Conservation Area of Basingstoke. The building is a large detached Victorian house that was later extended, so the stay has more of a guest-house character than a chain-hotel feel. Some rooms retain original features from the house, while other rooms have been refurbished in a more modern style.

Rooms are en-suite, with either a shower room or bathroom, and the bathrooms include heated towel rails and complimentary toiletries. The beds have pocket-sprung mattresses with a memory-foam top layer, plus duvets, cotton sheets, and plenty of pillows. Rooms also include a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a hair dryer, ironing facilities, and tea and coffee making facilities.

The stay works well for guests who want breakfast handled on site, because Fernbank Hotel has a breakfast dining room serving continental and cooked breakfast. The property also has free on-site parking, with off-street parking behind the building at the end of a long driveway. Basingstoke town centre and the railway station are within walking distance.

One firm limit is arrival access: there is no 24-hour reception, and guests arriving after 10:00 pm need to arrange entry in advance or they cannot gain entry.
