The Angel & Blue Pig, Lymington

I booked a night at the hotel, and despite some signs that a decor update was needed, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. The location on the High Street, although potentially noisy, was lovely with excellent food and a great view of the Isle of White. The service, though lacking in staff, was pleasant and helpful but could have been friendlier. The dining was nice overall, although a bit costly considering no direct response to concerns.

The hotel is nicely decorated and cozy, with an enormous double bed in the room. Although the hand-held shower was a bit difficult to use, there was nothing else we didn't like. The relaxed ambience of the entrance and bar area, along with the helpful service, made our stay really pleasant. The location is excellent, right in the middle of town and close to various amenities, although the property seems to lack some investment from the management. The dining options were limited to continental breakfast, which was not clearly communicated during booking.

The room was a letdown with cleanliness concerns, but the service and location were decent. The dining experience fell short in terms of variety and speed of service, despite the good location and atmosphere.
