A fabulous piece of charming old school grandeur
Pros:

Lovely, traditional hotel which has been kept up to date without losing the period features. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. They even added in breakfast when hearing it was my wife's birthday. Even better, the Portsmouth FC team were also staying and we got to have our photo taken with them! The location is fantastic and there are lovely walks from the front door.

Cons:

Nothing really.
