About French Horn Chalets
Alton sits on the edge of the South Downs in Hampshire, a handy base for walking country and local attractions, and it's here that French Horn Chalets offers straightforward, adults-only accommodation attached to the French Horn pub. The chalets are simple and comfortable, each with an en-suite bathroom, free WiFi and drinks in the room, with breakfast included and 24 hour reception on hand.
The pub itself is the main draw, with a bar and garden that welcome dogs and a kitchen known for generous, carefully presented plates, including a well-regarded Sunday roast and fish pie. Prices at the pub run a little higher than some might expect, but the portions and quality are consistently praised. Staff are attentive and happy to help with recommendations for the area.
Free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go, and there's a golf course nearby along with further restaurants, pubs and entertainment within reach for evenings out beyond the chalets themselves.

What guests say
A bithday sunday lunch for 11 people, superb service, beautiful food and portions, toddlers very well catered for. Weve always had a great time here, will be returning soon. Highly recommend this pub.

Stayed a night in one of the two chalets. Although very small (two people would really struggle!), it was spotlessly clean and attractively decorated. Enjoyed the fish pie for supper, and breakfast was beautifully presented, just for me as the only overnight guest. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend for an overnight stay.
