Great place to stay as a stop off for a night en route to the Isle of Wight. Rich in history and heritage and has a rustic charm and character while being well appointed with high end bedrooms, modern bathrooms great showers and really comfortable beds. We had 2 rooms one bigger one smaller and both were great value. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and great service. Overall a very good experience.

Would not return

Our stay didn’t start too well, we had booked 2 rooms 6 weeks prior to our stay, one room for two adults and one room for two adults and a child. When we checked in we were given two rooms both with one double bed and no bed for the child. Luckily they had one room left which was big enough to accommodate two adults and child. The staff were very good and attentive. The room we had was very compact with peeling wallpaper hanging from one of the walls and dimly lit which is great if you just want ambient lighting but with no light by the bedside it was very awkward to read in bed. Bathroom was very nice with a lovely shower although the toilet flush handle was broken. Tea and coffee making facilities were great. The only other negative was the constant drone of what sounded like an extraction fan going all night. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel as I would not return.
