Everything was amazing and well above what we were expecting. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, nothing was any trouble. The room was beautifully decorated.
Nothing could have been better to be honest.

3.0 / 5.0
- Lovely decor and furnishings.
- Friendly staff.
- Nice bar area with a great atmosphere.
- Delicious snacks and coffee in the room.
- Lovely toiletries in room
- Shower had very low water pressure, hot water tap in bathroom seemed to have an air lock and spluttered water with enthusiasm.
- Noise of doors closing was intrusive to getting to sleep - I couldn’t tell if this was on the floor we were staying or whether it was above/below us.
- wait time for breakfast was excessive; 45 mins from ordering to hot breakfasts arriving. When it arrived breakfast was tasty although sausages very peppery and the black pudding slice was more of a shaved slither.
- hot chocolate with breakfast was very watery with little chocolate taste
4.5 / 5.0
Great friendly staff
Location on the main road a surprise - should have checked. And ear plugs by the bed was a worry, but was not as noisy despite being at the front of the property as expected.

Housekeeping staff went above and beyond to let us into our room 2 hours early after a long trip from Scotland.
I didn't like the lack of choice on the menu.

Free wi-fi.
Hairdryer, ironing facilities
Housekeeping good.
Quiet
Location suited us.
Strongly resent paying £5 per night to park the car when staying as a guest.
Toilet seat was quite badly stained, probably from cleaning products.
Would prefer walk in shower, not over bath.
No shower caps, safe or fridge.
No lift.
Bar seemed expensive.

Having to pay extra for parking was unwelcome and pushed the total price up significantly. There is loads of room for parking...it is hardly inner city !

Receptionist - impolite, getting angry when we tried to explain our situation
4.0 / 5.0
Nice hotel. Liked the restaurant (great cheese soufflé). Fan in the room a nice thought given the heat. Left a tip for housekeeping which is unusual for me but reflected that they did a great job.
Pity restaurant costs are added to room bill if you want. Staff felt a little reserved, so the atmosphere felt a bit like being on your best behaviour at your Aunt's house. Both fairyminor issues but opportunities to be even better.

The staff were very friendly. Nice bathroom
We found the room very old fashioned and dated. The room we stayed in also really smelt of old cigarettes which wasn’t nice.

The hotel was well located, the staff were excellent friendly & helpful. The only issue I had was that the bed was too small as my feet were sticking out of the end of the bed.
Bed was too small, my feet were sticking out of the end & I’m 5ft 11inches.

Great location near to Emsworth with a good pub near the hotel. Spacious room. Helpful staff.
Room was very hot even though the radiator was off. £5 per night parking charge wasn't mentioned until we paid. Breakfast was expensive for what you got.

Did not stay for breakfast
The bar shut early and it seemed night porter hd to cope. He was lovely but very little ambience. There was no wi-if information in our room.
