“Don't go there to eat”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011 via mobile

Nice looking place nice garden, ordered the food thinking it must be of good quality as the burgers were priced at £7.95 and a baguette peiced at £5.50 then things went down hill very quickly. My blt baguette was awful half stale bread cold stringy bacon with 1 slice of tomato and salad which was soaking wet all over plate soaking the bread. My wife and son had the burgers, very pink in middle slapped on bed of soaking wet salad again,very poor quality of food for those prices wished we had driven on to burger king! Did not complain just won't ever go again, Prezzo in high street twice the quality and twice the value.

“Weekend Stay--very good, but needs a little "attention to detail"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

My partner and I confirmed two nights, a Saturday and Sunday night. The rate 85.00 per night for double with a full English Breakfast. We were in a double room overlooking the marina which was quite lovely. The value for money was good. The rooms were at first glance relatively clean and tidy. The only criticism I have for this part would be, that the bathroom which appeared fairly new, had significant mildew on the tile grout within the shower area. A little bleach and muscle would have taken care of that. Also, in and around the tub, were someone's (not ours) body hair. I needed to clean the tub area before using. The room provides a kettle and teapot with cups and saucers for making tea and coffee. I found both the kettle and teapot to be dirty and needed to be cleaned before we could use it and also the teapot was chipped and cracked at the spout. We found the staff to be attentive and curtious. The morning breakfast was very good and quite yummy. The location was very good as it was within walking distance to the marina and the town center full of shopping and eateries, if you fancied eating somewhere other than the hotel/pub. We did have one evening meal at the pub, our order was processed quickly and our meal was fine, good value for the money. I would recommend this property to others, and feel that the owners and staff do want to provide you with a lovely experience and will address any needs or concerns you may have and also to rectify them in a favorable way for all.

“Corrected their error !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2011

Further to my previous review, the venue manager has since received a letter from our sailing club. On reflection they accepted our complaint and refunded the deposits. Credit where it's due - literally !

“Charging coverage.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have used this place a few times in the past with yacht crews but I am totally unimpressed with their attitude this weekend. They insisted that my four yacht crews had to pay a £5/head booking charge in case we didn't turn up. This was done but then due to the bad weather one of the crews didn't make it, the other three did. They were totally unwilling to budge despite the £300+ we spent there and the fact that they instantly placed another group on the very table concerned. To do that and then insist on us paying cover is a great way of making sure we don't go back or any of the 1,500 members of our club. It's your loss Mayflower...
