Pros:

The accommodation was faultless, plenty of room. Large car park which was great. 20 mins run into Southampton cruise terminal. Staff very helpful.

Cons:

Knowing the hotel was full that night the hotel didn't organise enough food, everything on the menu had run out which was so disappointing, this let the whole stay down. Surely they can keep frozen food in the freezer, such as scampi, fish, chicken Kiev, quite a let down for us.
