Weekend break in New Forest

Nothing not to like. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Michelle was really chatty and helpful. Great receptionist and bar tender 😆 Breakfast was excellent well cooked and tasty. Pool was clean and enjoyed a lovely swim. Would highly recommend this hotel

10/10 Exceptional

I like the friendly, helpful staff, the ambience, and the location which is quiet but very close to the centre of Lyndhurst. I've now been three times and intend to go again. It would be good if they added a cheaper continental breakfast as well as the full breakfast menu.

Good location but old and tired accommodation

Nice reception area and good bar/restaurant but the accommodation is very tired and worn. The bathroom was pretty unpleasant.

A refreshing change

What a refreshing change. Wonderful, helpful, welcoming staff. It was such a pleasure to stay here and we would definitely go back! Some more lighting out on the patio would be good but just a small Observation, it didn’t impact our stay.
Amanda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in a convenient location, within easy walking distance to the village centre. Excellent pool (but the changing rooms could have been checked a bit more often, as the shampoo/body wash dispenser was empty, and there were some tissues on the floor). Very friendly and helpful staff. Liked the option of asking for fresh milk for our room. Good breakfast, with an excellent continental buffet available and hot meal options cooked to order.

Lovely stay. Will book again.

Stayed for one night as a little stop over on way to Cornwall with our young Labrador. The hotel is really lovely and super dog friendly with welcome treats and a little pup pack of goodies in the room. The staff made such a fuss of Zoey dog. Really lovely people. We took a 5 minute stroll into the village for a walk and dinner at a pub. The location is perfect. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the bar terrace but there were no noise issues. Next morning I took advantage of the hotel pool for 30 mins which I had all to myself. Breakfast was delicious!
Lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was good, although the ladder to the bunk bed was loose and the kids were somewhat nervous about it, and the extractor fan did not work in the shower. Breakfast was lovely, but our main meal however was poor. With the dinner not matching the description on the menu and generally not of good enough standard for the price.

4/10 Fair

Massively understaffed. Waited 20 mins at front desk for because the person manning the bar was having to do everything. Kitchen closed at 8:30pm despite advertising 24h room service, presumably due to staff shortages again. They need a maintenance person on staff to take care of damaged walls, broken extractor fans, dodgy lightbulbs etc. Lots of little issues that detract from an otherwise pleasant property.

Hi, We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to going on a cruise from Southampton and being midlanders we wanted to do the lion share of the journey the day before departure so we choose this reasonably priced hotel. We had a family room which catered for 2 adults and 2 kids (11 & 9). Room ws fine. Clean and ample size. The kids beds are bunks tucked nearly in the corner. We didnt wat in the hotel or book breakfast as we were checked out early the next morning but we did eat tea at the 2 minute walk Waterloo Inn (decent pub grub). Upon our return from food we went in the pool. This is fine but there was nowhere for parents/guardians to sit and watch the kids should they not want to get wet. Seating innthe pool.area could be better. As could a repair job on the sauna and shower. All in all though this was a pleasant night stay with friendly staff and convenient to Southampton docks (20 mins)..

Unfortunately, another property of this company in dire need of upgrade / tlc. Extensive peeling paint in bathrooms, worn carpeting. Door locks that failed every day (magnetic cards). Modernizing and general maintenance/ upkeep recommended. Comfortable rooms though and nice pool. Didn’t make up for the overall experience. They could do so much more at their properties if they tried. And no flexibility on check in - despite room being ready, there wasn’t the staff to check them. So rigid 3pm check in regardless. A negative in customer service. Will look elsewhere, smaller boutique hotels on my next visit.

Bed Comfy, breakfast very good. Expeller not working in bathroom so room was a bit musty.

Always a relaxing stay

Good except the key cards were a bit of a pain and the bar staff although very nice needed to be better trained. Shower in my second room (12) was very weak and not always very hot.

Good size room with four poster bed and view over the courtyard. Plenty of hanging space. Decent size indoor swimming pool. Changing Rooms very hot, so went back to our room to shower.

Dissapointing

Disappointing. My expectations were higher based on the scores. They only could serve pizza at dinner, so not a restaurant. And they failed to tell me there was a pub 100m away that served food. Walls were thinnsh, i had noisy neighbours and had to get reception to ask them to be quiet. Adjacent plumbing noises also went right though the room. Staff friendly and place was clean, and the room was comfortable.
RICHARD, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

My partner and I booked this hotel for a single night trip for my birthday in order to recharge in the country for a while and get away from the city, and unfortunately we left feeling like the hotel was the worst part of my birthday. Having stayed in other hotels by this local chain before we had high hopes that the hotel would be organised, clean and a well needed break for the night, and a spot we could go to to go for a swim, relax and just enjoy the location. The main area of the hotel is clean and well presented, so we were initially impressed, and the receptionist was helpful with advising where everything was and what we needed. Very quickly after arriving at the hotel we decided to go for a swim, and upon getting back to our room post-swim we realised our shower had no running hot water. This took 3 trips to reception to resolve and the keys we were given to other rooms didn’t work - when resolved the room was moldy, dirty, the carpet hadn’t been hoovered, the bathroom backsplash was half missing, and the paint everywhere was filthy. On top of all of this the communication was terrible and meant that we were rudely awoken at 8am with the cleaning team accessing our room, clearly not advised we had been moved. The experience completely ruined the birthday celebrations and given how lovely the other hotels in the chain are we were deeply disappointed.
