Very noisy room
Room was ridiculously noisy with the windows open and it was far too hot with them shut. They should have a air con unit in the room rather than just a normal fan. Room wasn't serviced even though I put the thing on the door to indicate that I wanted it cleaning but it was ignored.

The added extras like complementary sloe gin, earplugs & joss sticks. However it was extremely hot but if we’d opened the window it would have been too noisy.

Very good location, clean and well appointed rooms. My only suggestion is change the kitchen service call bell. Eating in the restaurant is like dining in a hospital ICU !!!!

Lovely accommodation and welcoming staff Arrived 18:30 to find Sunday food serving was finished however staff asked chef if he can do me something to eat which he did and was lovely food. Few things I question- I stood at bar to order drinks and food and service charge added on automatically without me realising I prefer to tip afterwards if appropriate then ordered again at bar dessert again service charge added on which I questioned this time and asked for it to be removed which it was however it should not be there automatically!! Room cleanliness overall good but small windows room was hot and no fan leaving windows open right next to seating area and smoking area isn’t great so at least get a fan in the room The shower tiles lower down lots of mould get your cleaning staff actually cleaning the tiles lower down as slimy mould can be remover with a bit of elbow grease On entering room it smelt damp However this did not affect my stay and would stay again if the above notes were improved this could be 5***** Very accommodating staff

Absolutely lovely night at this hotel. Rooms are lovely and clean and very well furnished. We was returning from the aisle of Wight festival and they kindly let us check in very easily and early. Food was also amazing. We will definitely be returning.

Room was excellent very clean and everything you need. Arrived late 11pm and met by friendly team great welcome. Breakfast was not the best and let the stay down overall. The smashed avocado on toast was like a thin spread on the toast. The streaky bacon was very fatty and should’ve been much crispier. The best part of breakfast was the scrambled egg which was really good.

Beautiful accommodation and surrounding area however we did not sleep a wink the one night we stayed. We had an early start due to travelling down to visit a family member in hospital. We felt misled due to where the rooms were situated (directly in front of the beer garden) This was occupied even after the garden ‘closed’ predominately by staff members who had clocked off but were incredibly loud and smoking right outside of our window. At breakfast we had to keep asking for someone to come outside and take our order, my partner and I felt judged and as if we were not welcome. I would make clear to anyone booking that this site is not LGBTQ friendly and to be mindful that the rooms are directly adjacent to the beer garden. We were disturbed up until around 2 am. I expressed my grievances in a polite and friendly manner, however the staff were dismissive and did not take our concerns seriously. I would not stay again and wish for someone to reach out regarding this as I made a complaint, to which no one has contacted me about.

Despicable form over function
Our whole stay was marred by the total lack of privacy for the en suite facilities. It had an extremely ill-fitting sliding glass door which meant you were forced to see hear and yes I am afraid smell everything that your partner was doing. About the most unromantic experience I can think of. Basically for the level of privacy the toilet might as well have been next to the bed. The door performed none of the functions normally associated with a door.
