“Have known of hotel for years and the exterior has sometimes looked a little tired. I was pleasantly surprised by the internal decor etc. The staff were very helpful. Our rooms were excellent - far better than in much more expensive hotels in the area.Breakfast, again, was excellent.”

Situated on edge of New Forest. Pleasant walks available from outside the front door. No need to use car. Room was not up to expectations for 4* establishment.

Nice hotel, some elements look a little out dated but that can also be described as character! Room of good size, with good shower (although if you are tall then be prepared for slight flood as shower screen is a little low if you are not). We used the restaurant on one evening which had good quality food. Indoor pool facilities were good and very quiet on the days we stayed which was a bonus.

Excellent cutsomer service from the reception staff to te restaurant. Nice breakfasts. Comfortable beds. Great in-bath shower. Central location makes it a good base for a stay in the New Forest if you have a car / bicycle. Cricket on the lawn in the summer. Decor needs updating. In some areas it looked odd and would benefit from a sinle style rather than a mix of everything. Dinner in the restaurant was ood but not exceptional.

Breakfast was nice, towels were clean and shower worked. Rotten wood, old decor, uncomfortable bed, heating not allowed to come on until 4pm, kids running riot everywhere, balcony in middle of renovation, everything shabby and old. Awful.
