We stayed for one night ahead of a cruise in Southampton, and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The drive to the port is around 20 minutes, so it's an ideal out of the town location for the port. There's a few stairs to the rooms, but a staff member offered to carry our suitcase for us, which is unusual and welcome nowadays. It's very much a family hotel being part of Peppa Pig world (Which we didn't know when we booked), so do expect some excited children in the dining area. :D The dinner and breakfasts were particularly good. Overall a great experience, and we have booked again for our next Southampton visit next year.

Great position for exploring Paultons theme park & the New Forest. Our children & grandchildren stayed in Paultons campsite which was a few minutes away so really handy. They all visited the hotel for a couple of meals & drinks. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming.

Nice stay

The room was comfortable and spacious but i could hear the phone conversation of the woman in the next room word for word. Noise from bar below but all was quiet during sleep time. Had dinner here and it was good.
