5 /5 Victoria Kalaker: We booked a night here very last minute on a Friday after work, having found a great-value deal through Booking.com. Unfortunately, we hadn’t noticed that the bar was closed and food wasn’t being served. Dean kindly called us beforehand to explain how to access our room and to let us know about the bar and food situation. We were a little disappointed at first, but he then offered to open both the bar and kitchen, explaining that he already had three other guests staying and could accommodate us as well. What a thoughtful and generous gesture.
The accommodation was outstanding, with beautiful evening views across to Portsmouth and the soothing sound of the sea as we fell asleep. The food was absolutely superb — we started with homemade soup, bread and olives, followed by a burger for my husband and the most delicious pie I have ever tasted for me. It was a chicken and chorizo pie, and the pastry was perfectly crumbly, melting in the mouth — truly scrumptious.
Dean was incredibly attentive and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious and immaculately clean. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, with a wide selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, nuts and seeds, along with plenty of hot options. I highly recommend the bacon, egg and avocado on toast, served with warm vine tomatoes. The attention to detail throughout our stay was exceptional.
Winter can be a challenging time for businesses like this, but with deals and experiences like this, everyone should be booking a night away here .
