We stayed for two nights in the early spring, and agree with other reviewers that the building is tired, shabby and in need of major investment. We would also agree that the standard of cleaning is inadequate and haphazard, and that fixtures and fittings in the bedrooms & bathrooms need to be radically improved. We raised these points with the... More

Dirty floors, dirty toilet, dirty bathrooms and dirty bed linen. The rooms were very tatty and old, and even the TV only had a few selected stations. The shower was completely useless. Dogs allowed in all rooms, not very hygenic especially as the rooms were not cleaned properly, remnants of previous visitors hairs a real health issue. The communal toilet... More

Staff very friendly when not on telephone talking about their home life. Hotel is in a lovely location but very tired and tatty. If we had not had a Groupon we would not have stayed in our room. Dirty carpet,Marks showing old damp on wall about 45cm high. Black mould round patio door which had no key even when asked... More

The new forest is a wonderful place to stay and the hotel is in a great location. However the hotel in itself was an utter disappointment. We arrived in a room that was tatty and dirty, the bathroom smelt of human waste and the shower rail was hanging off from the ceiling. I do not think the carpet had been... More

If you get a good 'deal' at this hotel don't discount it, however the 'deal' price is more likely to be what the stay is worth rather than a good discount. The best feature of the hotel is the location, and this alone makes it worth considering. You are right in the middle of the New Forest with walking trails... More

This is a traditional hotel within the beautiful New Forest. The warmth of the welcome more than compensates for the somewhat dated interior. The gardens are large and well maintained. The food is pleasant and plentiful with other restaurants nearby if your taste runs to the less traditional. The room was very comfortable and clean. I can recommend the stables... More

We had a 2 night stay deal via Groupon, and had a good time. Staff friendly and helpful, room adequate and clean and comfortable. We had a cream tea on arrival and dinner on both nights. Food good, but do NOT order the mushroom risotto, it was plain rice swimming in a white sauce with a few lost mushrooms in... More

We stayed for 2 nights on a Groupon offer. Our original room was too warm so we moved to another room for the second night. Both rooms were comfortable - the second having lovely views over the rear garden. The included dinner on the first night was better than we expected. Throughout our stay the staff were very friendly and... More

Very traditional Englsih hotel a little tired but comfortable. Staff very friendly. The food however was stuck in the 70's with prawn cocktail and fan of melon on a very uninspiring menu. White wine arrived at the table unchilled and waitress had to find bucket and ice to chill it at the table. Poched egg not cooked and served on... More
