Actually if I were to make a suggestion when booking tell them you want a ground floor unit. I think you will be happier. But Room 2 I can for sure say is not a nice room. I was turned off immediately when I realized that the bathroom floor was carpeted. I was never barefoot while in the room and... More

Staying here for a few nights, been woken up in the morning by water pumps running at 7:30 a.m, woken at night by same noise. Expensive for what you get, rooms are cheaply outfitted tv sometimes work. Walls are scummy and not clean. Rooms are also cold. Stayed in a travel lodge last week for quarter the price with much...

This pub serves the best carvery I have eaten out. Booked for table of 12 at 12.30, when the carvery starts, so everything lovely and fresh. Meat (gammon, turkey or beef) was cooked to perfection. LOADS of fresh vegetables to choose from. There was a large party of 70 in the function room and they were expecting another function of... More

Booked for weekend of 17th & 18th September. With both the Southampton Boat Show and the Goodwood Revival on, we were lucky to find anything in the area so weren't expecting too much based on the cheap price quoted and the reviews on here. On arrival we were pleasantly greeted, the booking-in formalities quickly completed and we were helped with... More

The room was reasonably spacious but all of the inadquate furnishings were of cheap and poor quality. There were no chairs in the room, so that it was not possible to sit at the dressing table. The bed was like a bouncy castle so that every time one of us moved in the night, the other was woken. The pillows... More

Good to see some positive reviews coming in on the spinnaker, we booked rooms for ten, the owner gave us the cheapest option which was very refreshing...then we read the reviews, but hey it was only one night! When we arrived the staff were not gushing with enthusiasm but polite and helpful, it is slightly dated but its not filthy... More

I was a little anxious about our stay as I had booked and paid for our accommodation here before I saw the reviews on Trip Advisor, however I was very relieved to find that the chalets were spotlessly clean and comfortable, while the staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed in the chalet furthest away from the pub and... More

Athough a little worn, the bar area was clean and the staff were attentive. Drinks were well priced and the catering staff attended to our specific needs. My single chalet room was very small but clean and soft, white towels were provided. The shower was mould free! The bed was a little hard for me. I found the staff to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Spinnaker for 3 nights in July so that we could attend a friend's daughter's wedding. The woman on reception was less than welcoming and told us we needed to pay ahead for the room and 3 days worth of breakfasts. She gave us a key and gave us instructions on how to find... More
