    Lovely location and rooms. Breakfast needs a rethink.

    Curtains in bedrooms needed attention as were too loose and so let in too much light. Toilet needed plenty of pumps to flush properly. Breakfast menu was a bit too fancy and took a long time to cook. . Fruit and breads on breakfast menu didn’t appear. Had to ask for toast as it wasn’t ever offered.

    Location. Evening food menu was great for choice. Rooms were pretty and clean with a great view. Bed was fine.

    Beds were too soft for my liking - I like my mattresses firm. The cups weren't cleared away from our room & the water wasn't replaced, but it was very quickly resolved by the Manager (Rob) who was fantastic.

    Lovely place - food was exceptional & staff friendly & helpful. We chose it as a base for a few days while we were on the Island to be able to clear out my late aunt's flat - it was a 5 minute drive away. Our room had a spa bath, which was a lovely extra as we were aching at the end of each day after clearing the flat

    There were a couple of little things like no toilet roll in the room, a glass left in the room, and the bath needing plunging but that didn't bother us, we loved it.

    Nice and clean, nicely decorated. Good value. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfas. Had a fab window looking out to see.

    The parking is limited but just enough. For the summer the blinds may need to be a touch thicker.

    The breakfast was fabulous, the food quality was great and the coffee very strong (how I prefer it). The pub food during the evening was excellent and the choice of beverages was great.

    Breakfast was a bit limited presumably because the pub was actually closed but certainly adequate. The cooked breakfast was nice.

    Beautiful location on the seafront. The actual pub part was closed so it was very peaceful. Car park and WiFi were good

    When booking , thought we had the room with the bay window but still had a great view. Realise due to time of year that it was closed some evenings which was also a shame as the food is really good and we would have used the Boathouse for our evening meal.

    Location is wonderful for its views across the Solent. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Rob’s legs don’t stop , he’s always ensuring you and other guests have exactly what they want !!!!

    Room needed new windows and most wouldn’t open as they were gummed up with paint or cracked.

    Friendly staff, but late in the season so the place was virtually empty, think I was the only person in for food that night, which was actually very good.

    Boathouse Out of Season

    There was no heating on in the bedroom or bathroom making it quite chilly (November). The duvet was very thin (low tog) and we had to add a blanket to the bed. In hindsight, as the Boathouse closes some of its facilities (bar and restaurant) mid-week out of season we should have booked somewhere else. To be fair we were offered this opportunity at the booking process but we were only staying one night.

    The location overlooking the Solent. Good hot and cold breakfast choices. Friendly staff.

    I realize that room is limited, but some sort of side table to put a glass on would have been nice.

    Breakfasts were very good, but rather large.
