Nesting amongst the yacht clubs, the Mayflower is a little gem of a pub with hotel accomodation…read moreabove. There is a large beer garden, fabulous in summer to sit outside with a glass of pimms and some of the potato wedges which come with a mean sweet chilli sauce! The food is average, quality having depleted in recent months, a change of chef possibly??? Bar food is reasonably priced and they also have a resturant which is fairly pricey but clearly better quality food. The pub is clean and modern with a good selection of beer on draught and the inside seating is mainly wooden benches. In the winter there is a fantastic log fire, ideal for warming up around after a walk along the sea wall, that is if you can get anywhere near it!

The menu has pasta's,curries, burgers, fish, chinese dishes and traditional British. Something for everyone. There is an okay wine list, bit pricey perhaps. There is a large garden to the rear with a play area for children of all ages. There is also a bbq on offer in the summer months. The mayflower can get very busy in the summer when the sailing crowd descend in their droves. The rooms are decent, but the decor a bit tired.

Had some pork scratchings while waiting for my friend, they were tasty with ample apple aauce. Shared with my friend a pork roll and toastie. Both were above and beyond the stanrd. Pork roll with large with high quality, not ground pork. The toastie was also two steps above typical fare. Ser ice was both professional and friendly.

So cute!!! Very comfy 'home' feeling…read more We popped in here for lunch today based on a friends recommendation. It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

Pop in and quench your thirst with our excellent selection and rest your head for the night in the newly refurbished rooms. Our first weekend was a roaring success and that's just the start.

We were warmly welcomed and our room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff is very accommodating and friendly, (as are the pub patrons and most of the city's residents!) Each of the 10 rooms is unique and the common areas throughout this historic building are attractively appointed with maritime photos, pictures, artifacts, and books celebrating the city and its shipping industry. The restaurant provides a very hearty breakfast and in the evening, serves delicious English fare.

My colleagues who tried to use the work out room were frustrated that it couldn't be used without charging to the room. This inconvenience deterred them from using. The breakfast was good, but the service was slow. The people were pleasant, but be cautious if you're on a tight schedule

Came here on a business trip. The hotel is very quaint and rustic looking. There is a Fireplace in…read morethe main atrium/lobby that is running a real fire in the winter, so you can smell it all over the room. If thats your thing, its a very cozy lobby, with a couple of chairs in front of the fireplace and a couple of benches with tables for those that want to sit and have a drink or work. On the first day I was there, they were just starting a 5 week renovation of the Pub and restaurant area, although I never heard any banging or work from my room. The rooms were nice, appointed in the 1950s style with minimal amenities There is no safe in the room and only a couple of outlets that are strictly European. In the bathroom, there is a towel warmer that barely heats up the towels. If you want the Air Conditioning to turn on, you need to turn it on yourself. They do have flat screen TVs in the rooms and a trouser press, but that doesn't really work. Barely gets warm. I stayed here for 3 nights and was glad when I changed to a more modern hotel. If you like the quaint hotels for the architecture and charm, then this would be great. The service was very good. The breakfast in the morning was OK and buffet style with daily specials that they can make for you in the kitchen upon request. If you want coffee, they will bring that to you and you can request a latte, and it is considered a regular coffee, so there was no extra charge, if you get the breakfast included rate. Its not a great latte, but it should do the trick.

Be very careful about making refundable reservations at the hotel. I made a "flexible" reservation…read morefor two nights and for some reason I was charged $920 right away. As our plans changed, I canceled the reservation about a month ago and received cancellation confirmation email however no refund. I have been calling the hotel weekly for refund at late night and early morning hours from California. The manager is supposed to take care of this but the front desk staff cannot get a hold off the manager. I left him another message at 4:30 am in California (noon in U.K.) hoping the manager will be around. I was again told he is not around and "will call me back" in an hour. No call back again. Frustrated, hope you don't find yourself in this situation for your refunds.

I did not stay at the Red Lion as it is quite local. However, this review concerns the restaurant…read moreas we ate here quite recently. We were attracted to the usual two meals for £9.95 and thought it would make a change from Wetherspoons. We tipped up not expecting the place to be very full nor did we reserve a table. Wrong on both counts, the Red Lion was very busy (it was a Saturday night) and we really should have reserved a table. That said the waitress was very helpful and after a 15 min wait we were called to our table. We were in a party of four and two of us had lasagne, one had scampi and one steak pie. All the food was really good and the general consensus was that it was above average for the price. We also had starters and I can heartily recommend the goat's cheese parcels. There was a good selection of drinks with a couple or real ales such as Abbot. I guess the drinks were normal hotel prices and pretty reasonable. The restaurant itself was very pleasant and the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was piping hot and served in a timely manner. Well worth a visit if you are in Fareham.

Executive lounge is closed due to pandemic. No pool, they have a spa/whirlpool but at additional cost. Walking distance to TK Max (TJ Maxx) but that appears to be the only decent shopping store nearby. They play cricket in the bowl. It's was fun watching but still understand the game :-) As a Diamond member, really bummed that lounge is closed and the only replacement is a drink coupon - how is that a fair adjustment?? Shouldn't it be a $20-30 credit at the restaurant? However, the breakfast buffet is quite nice, the food is very good with a great variety.

The hotel is modern, and has a very spacious lobby and dining area. they have a bar, which has a very limited selection, but did the trick, for food and drinks. They don't have many chairs at the bar, which I did find odd. The room had the standard amenities but no safe. The room did have many outlets, so it was convenient when there is an outlet not far from the bed, so you can charge your phone. The room is a decent size and the bathroom, is a typical Holiday Inn bathroom, with a Bath/shower combo and a towel warmer. The breakfast area had a good selection of food and the coffee machine made a pretty good latte. The WiFi did stop working at 1AM, while I was still working and I found that very annoying. When your an international traveler and cant sleep, but work, you need the WiFi

A weekend away seeing two of our best friends get married was ruined from the moment we set foot in…read morethe hotel. Many bad points: - "greeted" by a rude, obnoxious and condescending staff member at check-in. We were provided with plenty of backchat, a raised voice and flippant remarks. - Was told on booking that we could check-in early due to the midday wedding. However (rudely and unprofessionally again), we were told this wasn't possible. He shrugged off the mis-information because he "wasn't the one to tell [us]" in the first place. - Therefore we had to get ready in the toilets! (And there were tens of other guests who also had to do this). - He was very unhelpful and unsympathetic - Had to take big heavy bags to the wedding with us - could not trust the rude member of staff to keep our bags somewhere safe - Was forced to check-in at midnight (due being at the wedding all day) - Booked a double room on the website, was given a twin room. - Uncomfortable beds and pillows. - Signed up to the H.I loyalty scheme when booking this room, and was not given/made aware of complimentary wifi. - Lunch the next day was very slow service. - Bought a "breakfast burrito", however 3 out of the 7 ingredients were missing, and it was not brought to our attention beforehand. - Condiments not up to standard. When asking for a replacement of salt, sugar was provided instead, consequently ruining an adequate meal. TWO plus points: - The night manager and lunch manager did provide a few complimentary items and a discount on the room to make up for the disappointment (but the damage had already been done.) - Breakfast the next morning was lovely, with lots of choice It really is such a shame that we had so much of a terrible time, as it really tainted the whole of what was meant to be a very special weekend. I would not stay at a Holiday Inn again, and most definitely not here!

Rooms were clean and very comfortable, if rather 'chintzy'. There's a gym etc and spa - with swimming pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool. Breakfast is served in a room overlooking the beautifully manicured grounds and consisted of a cold continental buffet and then waiter served hot food (choice of full English, kippers, porridge etc). The hotel is very near the ferry terminal for Isle of Wight ferries and a short drive to Lymington itself. There's a nice pub though on the way to Lymington (called the Waggon and Horses?).
