The staff were lovely. The beds were comfortable and the pool was really warm. The grounds are beautiful with a stunning view out to sea. On the flip side things needed tlc. The room was apparently an updated room but things were broken or old and the room had no heating other than one small electric radiator that looked like it had been there 30 years. For a modern room the TV had seen better days. Took me back 20 years! The food was heavily overpriced, especially the breakfasts. It was a mediocre buffet breakfast at £26pp!! I've had far better at a premier inn.

This place is deceptive. The whole country manor image draws you in. Then you find out the rooms are out the back and are no better than a two star roadside motel. Breakfast restaraunt feels like a commercial cafeteria although food ok. Very clean and staff are outstanding. However you are paying four star prices for two star accommodation. The stars are because they have a pool and a spa not because they have nice accommodation. Very tired and disappointing. Overall poor and overpriced.

Lovely surroundings and nice place. Breakfast was not as good as there were no plates, tables were not being cleared quickly, had to wait a long time for a table, staff milling around looking busy but not appearing to do much.

Interesting historic main building set in beautiful grounds with views of IOW. Good facilities. All staff helpful and friendly. Our hotel room was in a lodge type building in the grounds. Spacious but dated. Bathroom has seen better days. Good food but very expensive. Lovely dining room, beautifully set tables but spoiled by grotty menus covered in finger marks and smears.

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.

Linen & room clean . Great water pressure with shower. Lovely to have Birthday card & gift. Outside stairways looked like some needed replacing. Brilliant breakfast , but dead & alive flies evident on inside of windows.
