Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and quiet rooms, though they may feel a bit snug for taller guests. The service is top-notch, with helpful staff offering local information and even providing charger loans. The location is ideal for exploring the New Forest area, and the dining experience offers a mix of quality food cooked to perfection. However, some room aspects may need attention, and the overall breakfast experience was a bit rushed.
The hotel rooms were clean but slightly worn out compared to the website description. The staff was friendly and keen to assist, though some minor issues arose. The location is stunning, especially for nature lovers, but the dining experience was underwhelming.
The hotel offers a traditional room experience with some room for improvement. The welcoming service and ideal location are standout features, but the dining experience may fall short at times.
