Superb find

Staff were a delight the entire stay. Room (1) was beautiful and clean, with windows on 3 sides (excellent for a breeze), lovely roll top bed, comfy mattress and very nice modern bathroom. Bathrobes were a nice touch. Ate at the hotel Saturday night and it was superb. Scotch egg was delicious, pork fabulous and the pizza was gorgeous. Excellent wine selection and utterly superb soft drink (bottles in the fridge) range. Breakfast was really good. Yoghurt, fruits and cereal, then cooked options. Not excessive, but more than enough to start the day. Superb quality all round, would recommend.

Limited menu, i.e, we arrived at 2oclock, hoping to grab some lunch, but the hotel had finished serving, day and night menu the same, just wanted a few sandwiches!! There was no atmosphere here either, probably wouldn't stay again

Recommended base for local area attractions

We used the hotel to visit the Roman Villa at The Newt and also the Fleet Air Arm Museum as both are with 15-20 mins drive from this excellent value hotel. Great breakfast and we also ate dinner at the hotel both nights. Very pleasant stay with good food, great service and attentive staff. Note, aircon in the room is a standalone unit which we didn't need to use. Comfortable bed and quiet location and the room had plenty of storage. Recommended. We would stay again.

Couldn’t fault the service, staff and food!

Service, staff and food quite excellent. En-suite had an unfortunate aroma of mould / dampness and the room could do with a bit of a spruce up.

Charming

The hotel was charming as were the staff. Our light supper was very good but unfortunately the breakfast was not great as the poached eggs were over cooked and as we were due to leave straightaway we couldn’t re-order. We would still stay there again when we are in the area.
