Cheap prices on food but presentation of menu was not... More

This place had 4 spare rooms on early May Bank Holiday and the pub we had booked into failed to honour our booking so we were relieved to find any rooms after a 55 mile cycle. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms spotless, plenty of hot water for easing our aching limbs and lovely peace and quiet in the... More

I must admit when I saw the website picture I was expecting a quaint old Inn with rooms but it is rooms and a restaurant with a makeshift bar in the conservatory. The elderly couple running the business were very nice, friendly and accommodating. The rooms are in a separate building and are functional. We found the rooms very quiet... More

Place definitely needs investment, a fresh eye & energy. Rooms are spacious & quiet but bathroom not as clean as ought to be. Reception area very shabby and worn - in need of updating & elbow grease.Very extensive menu should be reduced in order to provide more fresh food, food takes ages to arrive, very small portions & quite expensive...

It was lovely inside and felt like "grannies living room" it had that sort of feel to it. However the service was a long time, approx 40 minutes and the fish and chips I had was identical to the birds eye battered fish and McCain's chips. Similarly the soup for starter was definitely from a tin so will not be... More

This establishment is shabby, grubby, run-down and neglected. There is a very stale smell inside the premises. The proprietor has been there for thirty years and it shows; there has been. a distinct lack of investment. It could be such a lovely place if only some money was spent on it. The food is mediocre but very cheap. I imagine... More

I can't say it was the worst B&B I've ever been to, but just after beautiful and cosy Little Heathers in Brockenhurst, this was a disappointment. Rooms are very basic, old and definitely need a refurbishment. There's this distinctive smell inside the rooms, it's damp and a smell of old furniture or something. The bathroom has a feel of very...

It is great change to stay in a family run B&B and to have personalized service, rather than be one of many nameless faces in a hotel chain. Owners were lovely people and made the stay very welcoming; all too willing to do anything to make your stay more enjoyable. Great home cooked for. The hotel is outdated and could... More
