Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the food, especially the exceptional dinner and the perfectly cooked Full English breakfast. The rooms are often described as comfy and spacious, with some noting features such as a large double bed and a luxurious carpet. The location is convenient for the South Coast and IOW ferry, and the outdoor seating area at the rear is a popular spot, though a few guests have mentioned disruptive noise from slamming fire doors during the night.

limited hours room service
the location proved ideal for my needs.
I found the room service disappointing. It was available only during very limited hours. this restriction made it difficult to get meals when i needed them. i had hoped for more flexibility regarding meal times.
