Fabulous
Fabulous hotel. Beautiful, clean, comfy rooms. Little extras in the room were a lovely touch. Bed and pillows super comfy. The room was large and well decorated and maintained. The hotel was very well presented and in pristine condition. The staff were all lovely. The restaurant served delicious food. Slightly more expensive than normal but well worth it. We would go back for sure.

Great stay in Emsworth
Really nice stay at a fairly new pub with rooms. Room was very comfortable and staff were excellent. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. Breakfast was also excellent with local meat products. Good range of drinks in the bar with a choice of real ales and craft beers.
