Yateley sits in a quiet pocket of Hampshire where the Blackwater Valley meets the Surrey border, all common land, woodland and country lanes. The Casa Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western occupies a red-brick building parts of which date to the seventeenth century, its oak beams and open fireplaces softened by well-kept gardens. The rooms balance vintage character with modern comfort, and the Italian kitchen, Sapori di Casa, brings a little warmth to the evenings under those original beams. Step outside and the air smells of cut grass and pine; Yateley Common Country Park, with its heathland and ponds, is close by on foot. The location quietly opens up the south-east. Royal Ascot, Windsor and Farnborough are all within reach, Sandhurst is next door, and London is about an hour away with Heathrow closer at twenty-eight minutes. It makes an easy base for a race day, an air show or simply a slower weekend. Book your stay at The Casa Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western and let this corner of Hampshire slow your pace.
