Had a lovely family Sunday lunch there today 15th May '11 to celebrate a birthday. Everything was cooked to perfection, it was faultless, we all enjoyed it very much. The ambiance of the place was just right and the staff were very pleasant and friendly. The Marina and the boats in the sunshine just outside made a really lovely setting and made it a very special occasion. I saw a couple of the 10 new beautiful bedrooms they are in my opinion worthy of a 5* star Gold Award, they are spacious and nicely furnished with soft thick carpeting and beautiful linen on the beds.
The ensuite bathrooms have a large bath and shower and top quality fittings. I believe the Inspector is coming this week to rate the rooms, I hope they are awarded the top rating. The rooms have everything including a wonderful view of the Marina.
I myself did B & B for 21 years and had a 4* silver award, so I know what I'm talking about. I can imagine that it would be handy for people going on cruises across in Southampton or people visiting the Boat Show in September. Not to mention tourists visiting The New Forest and Corporate business people in the area. It would be hard to find a more comfortable place to stay, with the added benefit of the superb restaurant downstairs....
