It had easy access to the room but I didn’t ask for a walk in shower so we could not use the facilities. Our own fault. We were in the area for a party so did not use restaurants or spa facilities. My husband fell out of bed as he has Parkinson's disease and we were helped by one very special, kind young man, Stephen, who picked him up and made him comfortable in bed. Also called back to check things were okay. Other staff checked us in the morning and were very kind. There was no fault with the hotel but the staff made everything much better for us.

Enjoyable One Night Stay

Our room was really large and had a balcony which was great. We appreciated the coffee pod machine and the fan (it was a hot day when we stayed). The decor was somewhat old fashioned and the bathroom was in need of an upgrade. Lovely hotel grounds with a fantastic view over the Solent. We enjoyed the outdoor pool.

The description is very misleading as it seems to be a beautiful country house and yet the accommodation is in these very basic modern huts. The pool also appears to serve as a public leisure centre so it’s full of kids and so busy that it’s hard to even get a seat despite being a guest of the hotel. The changing rooms were filthy with water all over the floor and there were no facilities around the pool area for any drinks or refreshments. Our room was not clean with an empty beer can left in the cabinet and dirty hand prints all over the mirror. It was very disappointing and I would not recommend this location.

Beautiful, old building set in lovely gardens. There was a lot of open space and the accommodation was well spread out. It was nice to have a terrace to sit and enjoy a coffee. The Spa was very nice but I can imagine it gets very busy at certain times of the day.

One night bed and breakfast stay. Excellent facilities including both indoor and outdoor pools with spa facilities. Very comfortable bed and well equipped room. The only slight criticism was the bathroom could do with a refurbishment. (Room 18). We choose to have an evening meal at the ferryman pub, just a short walk away but the cooked breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.
