The Mansion At Coldeast - Southampton

We celebrated my brother’s birthday here with a Sunday lunch in one of the outside pods. we all ordered a starter, which were all excellent and a good sized portions . Then we had the set Sunday lunch Platter, as there were 8 of us we ordered extra roasted potatoes and 4 portions of cauliflower cheese. wow when the platter’s arrived it was extremely well presented and plenty of food. we certainly didn’t need the extra roasties or starters. we were offered boxes to take away our leftovers. we didn’t have room for pudding. overall a throughly enjoyable experience, no hesitation to recommend and will definitely be returning Food drinks: Wow food, drinks good as well

Very impressive building from the outside, but the inside does not replicate this. If offered room 205, request a different room immediately. One part of the room was a live building site. One window had no shutter or curtain to stop the morning light. Windows are single pane so noisy and drafty. The shower toilet is so small the door only half opens before it hits the sink! And the dining table looked like it was from a butcher's shop. Mishmash of cutlery, plates, glasses, etc. No washing up sponge supplied plus no tray to bake goods on in the oven. After one night we complained and got a marginally better room, but still not worth the £150 per night price tag probably worth half that at a push. Saving grace and winner of the second star are the staff and the food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is fresh and tasty. This could be such a nice hotel, but is a long way short of the mark. I saw another review that said visit the hotel but book into a Premier Inn I'd agree with that!

My friends and I had a gorgeous meal on Saturday afternoon. Our annual autumnal meal was made so special in the lovely pods. The roast dinner was great, as was our waiter, Harry. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed including more blankets, an extra heater, he changed the lights on our pod and took a photo for us too. I highly recommend for a lovely experience of dining outside in a beautiful setting Rooms: 5
