Independent, Blackfield, Southampton

"Staff were friendly throughout. Hotel was clean, well decorated and comfortable. The spa was fabulous and a welcome addition after a day of walking in Winchester. This is likely more of a personal request but since they have communal changing areas, bigger towels for those guests that just can't quite fit normal towels would be an appreciated addition - it's the little things! "

"All in all, our visit was enjoyable, the food was delicious and the people were very friendly. We were very impressed by the hospitality shown to us by the staff (my wife is disabled) and we will definitely return to the hotel in the future."

"Two night stay at Marwell Zoo.Nice 'safari' style hotel situated right next to the Zoo. Plenty of convenient parking and quite an unusual hotel but also very nice. Pleasant comfortable room and bar area. Nice but unexceptional breakfast, but overall very good value!"

"Excellent location, amazing staff esp the chatty ladies at reception who helped with bags and even upgraded us! Very short walk from the outlet place and port, also around 15m from town and bit more to the pier n beach. Limited parking is the only thing but we got on right outside luckily! Will come again! "

"bed was so comfortable that I had no problems falling asleep"

"The food was delicious. The room was small but clean and comfortable. The Spa was very relaxing - needs a bit of updating but had a great time. "

"Just pure class!"

"Hotel room was fine. Staff was very cordial and helpful at all times. Cafe and bar area was enjoyable. Nice breakfast was served. Only issue was we could have used a newer or better mattress."
