Great room and very friendly staff A late bar which is always great. Breakfast was poor as there was little food left. It was exceptionally busy due to a temporary campsite nearby- I think a lot of campers had sneaked in as room numbers were not checked.

Busy hotel and the included breakfast was pretty chaotic the first day. Lisa worked her wonders and found us somewhere to sit and looked after us on subsequent days. Being from Canada we missed having a fridge especially as the weather was hot otherwise this was a comfortable hotel walking distance to a Sainsbury supermarket and being nextbdoor to the M27 motorway.

They didn’t provide the room service due to the shortage staff. Breakfast area was crowded and miss managed we had to wait to find a table for long time. Lots of people arrived at the same time between 8-9 am and the hotel staff could manage properly the tables was dirty and the foods quality weren’t good at all. It doesn’t worse For the price of 125£ per night
