Myself and my friend visited this traditional pub on the high street of lovely Emsworth . It has an outside area too for seating . The food was of great quality with large portions and the choice was good , it is traditional English pub food . I had Mac cheese and my friend had a halloumi and pesto burger with sweet potato . We squeezed in dessert which wasn’t easy !! I had apple crumble and my friend had cheesecake , from a variety of desserts . Loved the food would recommend it and well priced too .

Arrived at this lovely venue to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary only to find that the 3rd party booking company that we used & paid had not advised us that the Hotel was fully booked. Fortunately the Staff at the resort on reception Adam & his female colleague sorry I did not take her name bent over backwards to try & find a room which they eventually managed with a lot of effort. The hotel was exceptionally busy due to a Wedding & a private party staying over. I was very stressed & upset as this was a special day for us but they made every effort with calmness & professionalism to resolve this problem that was NOT down to the hotel. Room & stay was great. I highly recommend this hotel & the staff not only on reception but throughout the whole hotel during our stay.

We were pleasantly surprised. We didn’t have high expectations bearing in mind its proximity to the A3, but we had an easy, pleasant check in, with full explanation. We were allocated a room on the first floor. On entry, we were surprised at the size. The rooms are large. Double bed, long desk and 3 adjacent drawers; plenty of space to store cases; fridge, wardrobe; safe; shoe store; easy chair with table. The en suite is a good size with shower over bath which functions well. A welcome pack of bottle of cider and nibbles. We had a few things not quite right: the safe didn’t work - it needed a new battery. This was quickly rectified. The sink tap was a bit loose; and so was the toilet roll holder. Not big things. The deal came with breakfast. This had full English including black pudding! It was plentiful and reasonable quality. A cafetière of coffee was placed on the table, so we had a mug and a half each. The staff were very efficient and friendly. Good selection of pastries and juices and a good functioning toaster. This is also a pub and restaurant. The front car park can be busy. The rear car park is for the hotel part and usually has spare spaces, but the spaces are relatively narrow. The pub serves good beers and wines and the restaurant has good food. Access to the hotel is very good as it’s close to an interchange of the A3. There is a little background noise from the A3, but this is low due to the A3 being in a deep cutting. The hotel has good walking and cycling trails being close to the South Downs Way and also to the Queen Elizabeth Country Park. Clanfield is the nearest village with a good pub (The Rising Sun, which also serves good food) and local shops including a Budgens and a Co-op.

I read a few negative reviews before arriving here and I was a bit worried about how my stay would go. I have to say all of theses reviews were proved wrong. We had a really good stay. Staff were friendly and helpful and the reception staff especially were constantly working on reception, in the bar and helping clear after meals and breakfast. Our room was very clean and convenient. The only issue is the separate charge for parking. Having to pay on a machine at a hotel is unusual and unnecessary.

I've been lucky enough to stay at Village Portsmouth around 6 times. Mostly on my own, sometimes with my wife and always when Portsmouth FC have been playing at home. This time my wife went swimming in the morning and said the place was spotless. The breakfast was plentiful as always. We were lucky enough this time to stay in a Club Room 525 which was clean and amazing, but all the rooms I've stated have been 'spot on'.😁 I've found that if you have a question or if something needs sorting out, if you speak to a staff member it's 'problem solved' ! 👍 they are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help. Jimmy is a kind guy, all the reception team are helpful as are the bar & restaurant staff. As soon as there is another deal coinciding with a Pompey game I/will be back. 👍
