Check in was easy and they had given us an upgrade which was a bonus. Room very comfortable and clean. Tea, coffee machine and proper milk. A very special treat were some sweet treats. Had an evening meal and both chose burgers which we enjoyed. Small menu but was ok. Excellent sleep in a huge bed, room very dark so slept in. Breakfast had a good choice that was cooked to order. Can recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast. All the staff were friendly and worked hard. Thank you
Perfect for meeting up with friends. Liked variety of menu choice - and we all enjoyed our choices. Breakfast was expensive as all items individually priced (fruit over £5 which I chose to add to muesli). Nice relaxed feel; staff lovely and room very comfortable.
Great stay, very comfy but just to say the Snug Room is very snug, we are used to a king size bed, so a double up against the wall was a bit too cosy for us.
Restaurant lovely and we would definitely stay again but probably pay for the next room size up.
Not quite the country pub I'd anticipated. Room was small and the bath tiny. My husband had to crouch to fit under the shower
Food average and not especially hot. Breakfast good
Wine overpriced
Useful place to stay for visiting Portsmouth but too corporate styled for me
Wonderful stay at The Ropemaker
Rooms beautifully decorated,a very comfortable bed for an excellent night's sleep & little treats in the bedroom
Excellent and very attentive Staff. We'll be back for sure
Wow
This place is one of the best places we stayed in
Very welcoming, very clean and tidy room with good size shower and bathroom
Service excellent, food excellent, nothing was to much trouble
They cater for your dog/dogs and a lovely little seize for them waiting in the room
Fantastic overnight stay, staff were excellent, food was amazing and lots of little touches to make my stay more comfortable. Will plan to stay there again next time I’m in the area.
