The Spyglass and Kettle By Greene King Inns

Staff veryp

Older property with a pub below. We liked our stay except for the sloping roof (ceiling) room, where we kept banging our heads.

Firstly we have stayed here before and had a wonderful experience. The property is old and consequently does not have that modern minimalistic feel to it. I think the beds could do with replacing as you can feel the springs through the mattress topper. The stairs are a challenge on par with climbing Snowden. So why did we come back? The Staff and ambience and the quality of the food and the feeling that you belong here and so welcomed. I love it. The patrons are warm and friendly and happy to chat with you. The staff are wonderful and I have to say that Ben is amazing. He sees what’s going on around corners and they all work hard. We were sorry to leave and will definitely be back.

It's the location that brought me here. Across the road from the cliff tops with adjacent bus stop to take you to Christchurch or Bournemouth and Poole. It's a pub. Some friends and I had a very nice lunch on a hot busy day. I needed ice to keep medication "refrigerated" and the bar staff and housekeeping staff were extremely helpful. Cleanliness was good. The room had been cleverly modernised but was basically in an old building. You couldn't see the beach because it was at the bottom of a cliff. But you could see the sea. I'd stay again.
