The room was very comfortable and the hotel is in a beautiful setting. The staff are friendly and the place is dog friendly. The breakfast was amazing.

Excellent stay in a lovely old building in a quiet spot next to some lovely country walks. Lovely to have free access to the Club for swimming (NB over 18s only - but we had pre warned our teenager to avoid too much disappointment). Very welcoming for our dog - just had to keep to the main bar and lounge area for eating but they are lovely spaces. All staff we dealt with were super friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything, so a big commendation to everyone, especially Socrates who made us feel especially welcome. Standard rooms were simple and functional but very clean and good value for money. Excellent breakfast buffet.

Unfortunately a check in mix up left us in a small room, when we’d booked and paid for a suite. The evening receptionist mixed up our booking with another with the same surname. After several trips down to reception to highlight the mismatch in the room given and the room booked, and no response other than ‘oh that’s definitely a suite’ we were given no choice but to wait until the morning to speak to the manager, who realised the error made and offered us a full refund. The wrong room had damp and mould on the wall, heavy condensation inside the double glazing, and a ‘lovely’ view of the bins and the accompanying noise of glass bottles being thrown in the recycling bin at the end of the evening. I’m sure the other party had a lovely evening in their ‘free upgrade’ suite!

Good hotel in a good location. Nice. Quite.

Some finishing in bathroom could be better. Also, tea tray on unit, however plug on kettle did not reach sockets behind, therefore had to place on floor, using another socket to boil the kettle. This does not seem ideal from a safety point.

No parking near hotel car parks , had to park over 100 yards away, not sure if this is a car park for Southampton cruisers. Unfortunately no lift to a high second floor and no help with cases. Looks like gardens have not been looked after for some time. Breakfast Buffett was a plus though.

As expected from the pictures and reviews. Clean room which was a bit dated but otherwise absolutely fine. Good pool. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Would stay again.

Good hotel with good facilities. Thunderously expensive bar though. There cannot really be a justification to charge such extortionate prices. Hotel prices are usually high, the prices in this bar are higher still!
