8/10 Good
"Stayed in room 46, was very comfy, nice bed and pillows, Dyson fan which was most appreciated. Room was quite noisy with the staff banging around with trolleys early doors but luckily we needed to be up. Breakfast was amazing, lots of choice and plentiful. Nice bar. Pool area needs a loo it of love and attention, cold jacuzzi and steam room wasn't steamy at all. But nice setting on the top of Hayling Island, lovely bar over the bridge too The Ship Inn, watched the F1 and world cup there, nice food. Would stay again"
