Restaurant is rather like a long corridor with little character but with good views to the lagoon. Evening menu. Is quite short with about 6 main courses, started with scallops which were small but well cooked and accompanied with a curried flavoured parsnip purée and a limp parsnip crisp. Main course of hake was very good, but duck was quite tough, and both lacked sufficient vegetables. Sticky toffee pudding was good. Overall felt food and wine were overpriced for what was experienced. Service from the young European staff was friendly and attentive.

Lovely experience. Staff attentive and appropriately respectful. All courses of food were excellent. My husband said the scallops he ate as a starter were probably the best he had tasted.

We were welcomed and promptly escorted to our table which gave us an interesting view of the Fleet Lagoon. We were intrigued by the interesting old house but felt that the Annex in which we were seated was a little cold and uninteresting. The staff were attentive and polite and the food promptly served. The champagne afternoon tea menu was lovely with lots of home-made cakes And delicious sandwiches, the top up of the teapot was especially appreciated. A delightful and quirky hotel. We shall certainly return for any special occasions that we might like to celebrate. The pricing levels were appropriate. The setting for this lovely old building was excellent which made it a romantic place to be. Staff super friendly and efficient. What more can we say ?

Great evening celebrating a significant birthday. Champagne by the fire in reception before a super meal in the restaurant, topped off with a couple of Espresso Martinis! Lovely historical setting and attentive staff.
