to get started.

Fantastic staff. All friendly, welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our happiness and comfort. Lots of little details. Our room was huge, basically a suite with living room, dressing area and separate bedroom and bathroom.

Georgia

Staff were delightful We were not impressed with Monty's food or atmosphere. Unfortunately could not be accommodated for dinner on second night in the main hotel dining room owing to a private function, so have no experience of fine dining there. Disappointed to have to go to nearby pub.

Location excellent for exploring the New Forest and surrounding villages/towns. Breakfast was good-freshly cooked. My only point was that I had the crushed avocado with a poached egg on toast and the avocado was quite chilled - it would have been much better if warmed just to room temperature!

Our friends who were with us were accommodated in a room very very far away and up more stairs. Not too pleased about that. No lift. We understand listed properties as we live in one BUT it should have been pointed out more clearly on booking.

What an absolute gem of a place. As far as the hotel is concerned, we could not fault it. The complimentary morning tea/coffee delivery to your room, the personalised welcome and weather forecast notes were all symbolic of the extra thoughtful touches that oozed out of this hotel. The only negative is the choice of food. We wanted a casual easy eating/non-fussy menu for supper. Monty’s, the pub attached to the hotel, should have ticked the box. But unfortunately the menu was just too rich and very limited in choice- actually fewer options were available than were on the menu at the door. We decided to drive into Lymington for supper instead. But that was the only downside. This hotel and its staff are right up there with the best of them and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone - a class act.

The "comfy" chairs in the inner lounge were not very comfy to sit on because the deep cushions seemed to make you slip forward all the time.

It was a shame that the main restaurant was closed both evenings we were there. We did know before we went but the date was fixed as it was a birthday.
I loved all the little extras ege the offer for tea/coffee to be brought to the room, lovely biscuits and bottles of water replenished daily, and a little bag with water and apples for the journey home. It was my husband's birthday and there was a card and balloon in the room on arrival.

The room and bed was too small in comparison to other similar priced hotels and the room service menu is limited. No fridge in the room meant I had to keep asking for ice for the water provided.
