Lock in a great price for The Navigator – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

This was a superb overnight stop not far from the ferry port at Portsmouth. It is modern, very clean and the quality of everything from the bed linen and the toilet paper was first class. The food in the restaurant was good with the meat sourced from local farms and the Beaulieu Estate. It was a lot cheaper than staying in a Travelodge at this time of year (July) and with considerably higher standards of comfort.

Beatrice, United Kingdom

As a group of 8 (4 rooms), we were afforded a nice table away from the general bar hubub. The food was enjoyable, along with resonable priced wine - which flowed very nicely thank you. Our group has enjoyed this type of gathering many times over many years, and a Friday night room and dinner/drinks package may attract us back.

Phil, United Kingdom

I slept in room 4, which was at the front of the building, overlooking the road. Immediately under my room is a covered area for smokers to use to kill themselves at the same time as drinking and talking loudly. Noise from the main bar area also came up into the room. There must have been a function as the noise eventually stopped around 12.40am. !!!!!!!!!!! Traffic noise then woke me up on and off all night and the double glazed window seemed to have little or no noise reducing powers. I will request a room at the rear in future.
Breakfast was good, with Tasty quality bacon and and sausage with all the trimmings!! Lovely room.

There could have been and extra chair and a luggage rack/holder. Otherwise everything ends up on the floor!
The room was entirely practical with a decent sized bed and good bathroom facilities. The restaurant served great gastropub meals. Breakfast in the morning was great as well.

The restaurant menu was somewhat limited and rather expensive. There were no cheaper bar meals available. There didn't seem to be provision for making (enough) tables in the restaurant available for residents.
The staff were friendly and helpful at all times of day. A problem with restaurant space was solved.
