Good to knows

We're excited to welcome you to South Lodge. Here's a list of our guests' most frequently asked questions, plus some 'good to knows' before you stay. 

Can you give me a sat nav link or post code?

Click here for directions through Google Maps, keep your eyes peeled for the sign to our hotel. Our postcode is RH13 6PS.

What time is check-in and check-out?

We invite all guests to check in from 3pm and ask that you have checked out of your room by 11am.

If you arrive before your room is ready, or want to use the extra spa time you have after check-out, we do ask you store your luggage in your car if possible to minimise contact with your belongings.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes, it's free of charge, unless you have booked a special rate, until 2 days before arrival, after this time the full charge applies.

Our spa packages request a 50% deposit but can be cancelled until 2 days prior too.

All other special rates cannot be cancelled or transferred, so please check the rate details when booking.

How can I pay for my booking?

As rummaging around for coins becomes a thing of the past, we’ve now become cashless, so take your pick of card, phone or even watch to pay!

Everything you have throughout your stay can be charged to your room and settled on departure. 

Bringing children aged 0-12 years?

We have cots available for free and z-beds for children for £40 per night, per child, including breakfast. Call us to check availability and capacity for your preferred room type

The spa is mainly an adult-only environment but children aged up to 15 can use the indoor-outdoor pools during dedicated splash times. These are from 8am to 9.30am and from 4pm to 5.30pm. 

Can I bring my dog?

Want to bring your beloved pooch? We have a selection of dog-friendly rooms. For £40 per stay (up to a maximum of two dogs) your furry friend can stay and we'll equip your room with a dog bed, bowl and some doggie treats! 

Dogs are welcome in the bar and lounge but if they are having a bit of a funny five minutes or causing upset to our other guests, we will kindly ask if you can relocate to another area - don't worry there are plenty of grounds for them to enjoy!

We offer complimentary WiFi throughout the hotel.

Which train station is closest?
