Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 hotels in Basingstoke, a small sample. Our Luxury slot prioritises five-star hotels and accepts a four-star only with a score of at least 8.5. Audleys Wood met that with 8.9, the joint highest score in the sample.
Praise for staff and breakfast, at a price just under the median, made it a sound choice for the top slot.
