Beautiful building ang grounds. Plenty of car parking spaces.
I stopped on a standard room which was fine, not the best I've stayed in but certainly not the worst. The bed was comfortable enough but it was very hot and there were no thin sheets available so it was either a thick duvet or nothing. As the room didn't have aircon it wasn't the best night's sleep. To be fair this is probably only an issue two or three nights a year as the the weather was freakishly warm for the U.K.
I stayed two nights and the menu in the dinning room was the same both nights which was disappointing. Breakfast wasn't great. The scrambled eggs were grey unappetising. It took an age for the staff to bring out items once they run out.
The bar area is nice and there is plenty of outdoor seating. However, by 10pm this was covered in plates and glasses which attracted the local wasp and hornet population and didn't really make for a relaxed evening drink.
Sadly I didn't get chance to go to the pool or spa so cannot comment.
All in all it's a very nice hotel with great staff and I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed stopping here. I'll probably stop again when I next have to travel to Southampton.
