“The staff are great, friendly and helpful and the service brilliant. Very dog friendly and we will definitely visit again. The breakfast is superb and we were lucky enough to stay in strawberry season and had fresh strawberries with our breakfast. A good choice of main breakfast as well as yoghurt, cereal, toast and juice. Evening meals excellent value too. The position is perfect on the edge of the village, with the local post office/shop only 4 minutes walk away and the heath less than a minute away. The rooms are basic, but comfortable and have everything you need for your stay, with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus complementary biscuits and the bonus of a fridge. We have had a lovely few days and plan to stay longer next time. Well done Simon for doing a great job.” Read more

“We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely meal in the pub each night. Friendly staff and comfortable bed. A proper traditional country pub which is what we like :-)”

“Excellent little pub away from the New Forest's main tourist hotspots but within easy driving distance of all of the park. Delicious food served in generous portions, amicable staff, a roaring fire, dog-friendly - what's not to like?”

“Good British pub with good food and a welcome to go with it. ”

“Everything was great and you get a very warm welcome from all the staff”

“A really friendly 'local' pub with lovely rooms. We loved the fact that we had our own fridge and also a patio area to relax in. We were lucky to get the afternoon sun even though it was October, and the ponies came and said hello. We had breakfast each morning, with plenty of choice and they catered for special requests. The bowl of locally picked strawberries on the table was lovely and tasted gorgeous. We also had dinner every evening, a great 'comfort food' menu with specials. We both sampled the pie of the day, venison burger, Chicken burger with chorizo and mozzarella, and had roast beef on the Sunday. The beef was probably the best meat we have ever had for a roast in a pub. Great 'outdoor' room to sit in and chat to the staff and locals and also very dog friendly.” Read more
