We stayed here for a visit to the Bombay Sapphire Distillery nearby, and we saw on their website that this hotel was nearby. We spoke to them in advance to ask about parking and check in etc, and the lady couldn't be more helpful, offering we could leave our bags there if we arrived before the check in time of 2pm and they could arrange a taxi to take us to the distillery. Upon check in, we asked about a taxi and the lady explained that there was in fact a bus due in less than 10 mins, so we left the bags in the car and we hurried outside to catch it, 10 mins journey costing £2, saved us money! When we returned from the tour, we actually saw our rooms for the first time and we were amazed! They were located in an annexe overlooking the car park, but they had a shared terrace with seats outside too. The room was exceptional. Comfortable, clean and well appointed. The bed was soft and the linens crisp, TV on the wall, a brilliant tea tray with biscuits too. The bathroom was really nice too, with a huge shower with great pressure, and lovely toiletries included. Having the outside terrace made it feel really spacious, we even sat outside in the evening sun with a drink. Beautiful pint of butter incidentally! The roller blind and blackout curtains also meant we slept very well. The breakfast in the morning in the main pub was excellent too, tasty, fresh and delicious, brilliant bacon and not a catering sausage in sight. The coffee was also very good. The young guy serving us was helpful, friendly and attentive but without being overly fussy or false, just genuinely helpful. We would 100% recommend this place, also an Ideal staging post on a trip to the south coast, and one we will probably use. I've stayed in far more expensive accommodation and vowed never to return. This is honest, comfortable accommodation that delivers on every level.
