We stayed here prior to going on a cruise from Southampton which it is very convenient for. When we arrived we were informed that we had been upgraded to one of the rear rooms and were shown to the room by a lady who made a point of informing us about the Fire Procdure - I think that this is...

This was a first visit - (beware if you are late as there is no mobile reception, certainly with Orange). It had a small open fire, a few tables in the bar area, a pool room and a sofa / armchair in the larger eating area.
