We didn’t stay! On arrival we were told our room was hot but they could give us ice water. The room was stupidly hot and if we had stayed we would not have slept. I know we are having a hot summer but they could have supplied decent fans, and let people know before travelling for three hours how hot the top floor rooms were. No management on site, several other people complained and I felt sorry for the two young ladies on reception.

The room was clean and generally comfortable. The breakfast was excellent the evening meal at the bar was pretty good.
Unfortunately, I was there on 2 of the hottest days the Rooms did not have adequate ventilation a couple of small fans provided did nothing to help. 2 nights of very hot sweaty non sleep.

Terrible hotel. Would avoid!

Rang me on the day of check-in to say that the hotel was overbooked. I was then told that, as compensation for THEIR error, they would put me in a 'sister' hotel, which in fact looked like a 1970s pub and was not at all a like-for-like swap. Very unhelpful staff; offered absolutely no assistance in resolving any discrepancies, and had to escalate to Expedia to get anywhere.

Breakfast was good. A reasonable choice of cereals, juices, cold buffet and cooked options.
Carpets were tired and seen better decades.
TV balanced on old piece of furniture. Bolt it to the wall. Make the room bigger by getting rid of the unnecessary cabinet.
3 chairs in the room. But only a 2 person room. Clutter. Wardrobe to short to hang up a full length dress without it touching the dusty bottom.
Denise the receptionist helped us change room from our first night sleeping in a ground floor room with a bed that was solid. No give in it. Not a good night's sleep (room 60) moved to 2nd floor for our next two nights (room 29) better bed, comfortable. Slept well, thank you.
Shower in the bath. Slippery in first room. No non-slip surface. Old shower dials on wall but shower controlled through bath taps. Difficult to control temperature. Cold water pressure weak in both rooms.

No swimming pool or spa available. We booked this establishment as it had a pool and spa in October 25. We only get told the spa and pool are indefinitely closed in May 26. If we had known this earlier we would have moved to another nearby spa establishment with pool that we have stayed at before.

Really disappointed with our stay. One of the main reasons we booked was for the swimming pool and spa facilities, but a few days after making the booking we were informed they wouldn’t be available. Unfortunately, because I hadn’t paid extra for the flexible cancellation option, I couldn’t cancel and get a refund. Lesson learned.

I’d also be careful with the half-board option. We paid an extra £300 for two nights for a family of four, only to find an almost empty breakfast buffet one morning. I understand we weren’t the first ones there, but I would expect food to be replenished throughout the breakfast service.

For dinner, we were given a £50 voucher, but then told it couldn’t be used for children’s meals. I still can’t work out how that represents good value considering what we paid. We also weren’t informed that Sunday dinner service finishes at 4pm, so after spending the day out, we came back and had missed it completely.

I rarely complain or leave negative reviews, but this place really needs better management. After quite a bit of effort trying to find the right person to speak to, I requested a partial refund of £150, which was eventually granted. To be honest, I would have much preferred a stress-free weekend where the facilities and services matched what was advertised and expected.

Booked this hotel specifically for the swimming pool as I was travelling with my 5 year old who wanted to swim
We were only made aware the swimming pools been closed for 3 months when we checked in and had to drive to a leisure centre 20 minutes away so he wasn’t disappointed.
I expected the hotel to be dated so that was fine but there was rubbish in the bin when we got in our room and coat hangers on the lights.
This was our second attempt getting into our room as the receptionist told us the wrong room number initially.
Would’ve appreciated being told in advance about the pool closure.

Just before we arrived, I received a message to say the pool & spa were being refurbished, this was disappointing as it's the reason we booked over other hotels, but these things happen. On arrival we were told that there was a wedding and they were very busy with those guests. The room wasn't the cleanest, with cobwebs on the lamp & light fittings and one looked half hanging off, and I felt unable to request a fan after basically being told the wedding was their priority.
We had paid half board so went off to dinner where there were tables with half eaten food around us and cupboard doors hanging open, to then be told, the meal I'd ordered had just run out.......on a menu of about 6 items. It was at this point, my husband jumped online and booked us in at IHG Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth and we checked out, not even being asked why.

One night stay for a family wedding that was held on site, the room was clean and very comfortable, the food provided for the wedding breakfast was well cooked and very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The building is a converted old country house and as such is a little tatty around the edges but this just adds to the charm.

The room was spotlessly clean on arrival and fresh smelling. The common areas were clean and well decorated.Strangely although there were 4 containers of shower gel, shampoo etc. there was no hand soap. As we were only staying one night we managed to get around this. The grounds were lovely but the outside of the back of the building has paint peeling. We had lunch which was decent and a good value. A couple of negative points. The pool and spa are closed until further notice. We were advised of this before our stay with a note saying that the pool and spa are complimentary elements so no refund or reduction is possible. Surely a hotel with Spa in it's name has this as central to the experience not a free extra? This didn't affect us personally as we didn't have time but is worth others being aware of if booking. We arrived back from an event about 11.15pm and would have liked a drink from the bar and some nibbles but were told by the person on reception that the bar closes at 11pm. With big events on locally it be good if it stayed open a bit later.Breakfast the next morning was very good with plenty of options available.

Hotel is no where near where it is stated . Staff checked our luggage till 3pm. They only had one other guest staying at the hotel and our room was clearly ready however, they made us wait until after 3pm to check in. The lounge they said we could wait in had a few of their employees spread out all over the room and at 3pm when we walked from the tiny table we were waiting. The only other guest walked right in the front door and they took their registration before us. In addition, they gave us the wrong room type that we booked. They corrected quickly as like I said, we were one of two other guest in entire hotel. The spa, pool and all amenities were closed for repair.

Very traditional building. Old but well maintained and presented. The location is very secluded and peaceful. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food quality is outstanding and reasonably priced for a city spa hotel. Compared to the Holiday Inn nearby this place is definitely a step up and we would opt to stay here again.

Our room was clean, warm and well-lit. We had selected a superior twin, but the view from the room was dreadful ! We were next to the boiler and there was ducting all over, rubbish and the exterior of the building at the back is very shabby. Just to note - there are no usb sockets in the room, so you need to bring your own adapter. There is also no phone - I suppose because everyone has their own these days. The furniture was all dark wood, which is fitting for the age and style of the building, but there were no coasters or mats for hot drinks, which was worrying for putting a mug on the bedside table. We had to use magazines. There was only one comfy chair. The room service was a bit below par - no spare toilet roll, glasses were not washed and beds were not made. Breakfast was good, choice of food was good and service was good. Tables and cutlery etc were all clean and tidy. We had one evening meal in the restaurant, which we booked prior with reception. I had a confirmation email, but the time was totally wrong, so I had to go and tell them. They said, not to worry, they would inform chef what time we would actually be dining. When we arrived at the restaurant, they had no record of our booking. Service was chaos, in spite of there only being three couples dining. Fist choice of food was unavailable, and we waited 45 mins for mains. No-one returned to ask us if the meal was okay, which it wasn't. No-one asked if we wanted desert, so we left.

Well the hotel is pleasant and characterful. The heating was stuck on in the room with only a small window to open. Unbearable poor nights sleep. On complaining nothing could be done apparently so we were moved to another room. Which was much better.

Solo traveller on business with this being the 4th different hotel in a week. Nice warm welcome and friendly staff. Had an executive double which was spacious and the bed was very comfy. It’s an old hotel with wood panelling in the bar and restaurant which tells you the type of character property this is. Stayed on a £40 half board rate which gave me £25 food & drink allowance for dinner… this is a bit rubbish as the cheapest main was £19 and a pint was £6 so that was the allocation gone. They obviously make money on the starters and dessert's but this is wrong in my opinion, I understand there are supplements with most of these deals but at least give a guests a choice of 2 or 3 courses so they at least have a feeling of value. I had fish and chips and it was Ok, not brilliant which makes me feel like I’ve been taken advantage of. Would I stay here again, probably not but for a business stopover close to my first meeting, it was fine.

Staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was clean and tastefully furnished.

The hotel is advertised as Spa with pool. But the pool is undergoing a major refurb. This is only notified on the day of check in. So it’s a bit disingenuous to advertise the pool.
I’m sure it will be fine once it’s operational.

We went there with some friends for an afternoon tea which was fantastic, the food was lovely. We stayed overnight and our room was very spacious clean and tidy. The only thing I would say was the spa area was terrible, the changing rooms were not very nice, the changing room doors were broken, the lockers were in a terrible state and the windows around the pool had lots of leaks, moldy and not fitted properly. But otherwise all good.

Stayed new years eve, and day so probably not usual for the hotel but also couldnt eat in the restaurant at 7 on jan 1st. Girl behind the bar smirked and said 'chef has gone home' shrugging her shoulder's. No notice about this or communication that there would be reduced services over our stay.

When we arrived we paid for an upgrade that should have cost £10.00. The next day £15.00 was taken from my bank. When we spoke to the manager, she said it would be returned, this has yet to happen.
The room was stifling hot, even in November with the windows open. We asked for and were provided with a noisy fan, which helped a little.
The bed was probably one of the most uncomfortable we’ve attempted to sleep in, the assistant manager agreed that they were awful.
We were looking forward to a well earned break, without the children, and chose this hotel for its Spa and Pool facilities.
On evening one, we needed to avoid the pool due to classes taking place.
On morning two, we were asked to vacate the pool for yet more swim classes!
All of the above points were discussed with the manager at the time of checking-out.
She explained that she has no authority to return any monies etc, even the overcharge payment. Apparently, the boss won’t give that level of autonomy, even to the manager, which we found rather odd, clearly a lack of trust between owner and staff.
We would use this hotel as our regular place if we had been treated better.
Very disappointing stay, very disappointed with the staff, and very disappointed with the lack of use of the Spa facilities.

The hotel is stunning, the staff are lovely,
However, the day i stayed there was a huge wedding going on and i wished i knew this before i booked! Had Noice, arguing throughout the night, kids running up and down outside my room, then a fire alarm got set off at 5 something in the morning! So I literally had no sleep, so I just got changed and just left! I asked the receptionist why the alarm went off for ages in my room? She replied, sorry one of the residents from the wedding party decided to have a hot shower and steamed his room up!! I emailed the hotel to have a little rant , but they just apologised without any further action! So obviously I wasn’t very happy and thought it’s sad, I really liked the hotel, but because what happened and the outcome, I won’t be experiencing that again and will be choosing somewhere else for my regular stays now. The wedding was on a Friday and went on until the early hours! It’s a massive shame because it’s a stunning hotel.

With the exception of the lady on reception who appeared to be the only capable member of staff the stay here was so bad it was almost funny. Dinner was a complete disaster as very young staff had no idea what was going on as apparently no gas. Different staff telling us different foods available and we were told no coke or Pepsi only appletise or lemonade although there was Pepsi in the bar. A party of 25 ish arrived so was then deafening. A waiter apologised for the 40 minute wait but said they were trying to get starters out to the large party. It was agreed we would be refunded for our meal/drink . I told the receptionist the following day as we were still charged for a glass of wine. She said she would remove it but it was still charged to my card after departure. I wasn’t surprised that having emailed since leaving I didn’t even get the courtesy of a response. The building is lovely but needs refurbishment. There was a bucket in the reception catching water and furniture and carpets need replacing. Constant queue at reception with varying complaints and no sign of any management. Waited 20 mins trying to get served at a bar with 1 member of staff who was apparently attempting to do orders for a wedding so gave up. Such a shame as it wasn’t particularly cheap but poorly managed and sadly neglected.

No concerns regarding the room that was lovely, but do think they need more experience staff in the bar and just a small detail they need a little sharper knives with having children and elderly food was very hard to cut up with a blunt knife. Massive choice of breakfast but left out to long so bacon was rock hard, and eggs over cooked such as shame just small details could make the hotel outstanding. With a little updating but overall value for money.

I did not like:
1. My repeated telephone calls and messages from 10.00 am were ignored until 6.30 pm
2. There was no hot food and it took one and a half hours to produce a cold salad.
3. The room was dirty.
4. There was no hot water in the morning. The staff admitted that they knew about this but took no steps to advise guests.
5. Several days later I am still awaiting a receipt for money I should never have been asked to pay. There was no value for the £181 paid.
I will never recommend this hotel.
