    We were absolutely gutted to arrive on Tuesday and find out the pub wasn't open at all that day. We were only staying one night and had planned to eat and drink at the pub. Very disappointed to not have been told about this and given the option to change days.

    The location was brilliant, close to local pubs and a nice walk into both Portsmouth and Southsea. The room was lovely and would definitely recommend staying here. We will stay again but definitely be checking if the pub is open next time rather than believing all the emails.

    Nothing really. I was very happy. The sash window did rattle a bit as it was exceptionally windy that night but nothing a small piece of well placed card didn't solve immediately.

    Great communication and could not d enough to help a female in need of urgent accommodation when her accommodation that was pre booked fell through at 3pm the same day of check in.

We will be returning soon thankyou To the Wellington! Staff and had a lovely homely stay with you 😘 Vanessa & Lesley xx

    The room we stayed in had no toilet in the room we were told the toilet down the corridor was solely for our room and we had the only key. This was un true as the key did not work and the people in the next room were using it even though they had a toilet in their room
