Positive Reviews

positive:

Lovely sea views.

The Spyglass & Kettle is just across the road form the cliff top so there are some stunning views of the sea and coast to be had from the garden and some of the guest rooms. On a clear day you can even see the Isle of Wight.

positive:

Restaurant and bar are just the ticket.

As you would expect, the food here is good hearty fayre, with everything from a butchers choice, sharers, mains and burgers to lighter bites of jacket potatoes and sandwiches served up right throughout the day. There's a really good selection of local ales proffered at the bar too. Top Tip: try a pint of 'Ringwood Old Thumper'!

positive:

Staff are very affable.

Friendly, courteous and laid-back; the team at the Spyglass & Kettle do a fine job of making you feel relaxed and welcome at all times. Excellent customer service skills here.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Parking is pretty limited.

There is no allocated parking for hotel guests; you just have to take your chances with finding a space in the normal pub car park. If the general car park is full then you should still be able to find a free space in the surrounding residential streets.

negative:

Evenings can be noisy.

The guest rooms are located directly above the main pub/restaurant area so you can expect a certain degree of hubbub to filter up into your accommodation during the evenings. It's worth bearing in mind that the pub hosts live bands most Friday and Saturday nights.

negative:

No lift to the upper floors...

...And the stairs can be quite challenging for those who are not as sprightly as they once were.
