Lovely hotel and plenty of room for 3 of us, just a little stuffy with the option of a relatively noisy fan.

Good for a quick stopover

We went for the really fancy room as we were staying with our dog so wanted a bit more space, they provided a little dog package which was lovely but a bit expected due to the £20 charge which seemed a bit high. Unfortunately though this room was right by the door to the floor and so it took our dog quite a while to get used to the constant banging of this door of people in an out. The room itself was spacious and nicely styled but again unfortunately the room was at the front close to the road which was also a little noisy. All in all a nice stay for a quick stopover but not sure I’d stay longer than a night.

Check in was easy and they had given us an upgrade which was a bonus. Room very comfortable and clean. Tea, coffee machine and proper milk. A very special treat were some sweet treats. Had an evening meal and both chose burgers which we enjoyed. Small menu but was ok. Excellent sleep in a huge bed, room very dark so slept in. Breakfast had a good choice that was cooked to order. Can recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast. All the staff were friendly and worked hard. Thank you

Perfect for meeting up with friends. Liked variety of menu choice - and we all enjoyed our choices. Breakfast was expensive as all items individually priced (fruit over £5 which I chose to add to muesli). Nice relaxed feel; staff lovely and room very comfortable.

Comfortable, clean and lovely restaurant

Great stay, very comfy but just to say the Snug Room is very snug, we are used to a king size bed, so a double up against the wall was a bit too cosy for us. Restaurant lovely and we would definitely stay again but probably pay for the next room size up.

Not quite the country pub I'd anticipated. Room was small and the bath tiny. My husband had to crouch to fit under the shower Food average and not especially hot. Breakfast good Wine overpriced Useful place to stay for visiting Portsmouth but too corporate styled for me
