Despite the amount of money the Balmer Lawn charge for the use of their hotel, the wedding staff are completely incompetent!! The banqueting manager, Jon, is absolutely useless and has no idea how to manage anything. The day was a complete farce. The wedding co-ordinator was nowhere to be found, the staff didn't do any of the setting up...or packing... More

It is a shame that you thought it appropriate to write this review on here without even trying to discuss your issues with myself first, as many of your claims are completely untrue and unsubstantiated. You claim that our banqueting chairs are not up to standard, when the truth is that they were not to your taste or chosen wedding... More

Balmer Lawn is a star in the New Forest, the High Tea is worth the visit alone, never ending tea and an excellent variety of cakes and treats. Staff we meet and dealt with were all attentive, helpful and friendly. The rooms we had were modern, clean and smart, with pleasant toiletries, tea/coffee & biscuits. As the third floor is... More

As it was a special occasion we upgraded to a four-poster room with balcony overlooking the front of the hotel. On arrival we wanted a light lunch and enjoyed an excellent snack in the bar area -...

My sister got married here on the may bank holiday. The whole day went perfectly. We arrived before check in and our room was ready, which was great. The room was gorgeous and spacious, the only thing I would say there was a uninsulated rain water down pipe inside the wall which you meant you could rain dripping all night.... More

We visited for the bank holiday weekend, and the hotel was full. When we checked in the lady on the front desk seemed very harassed, didn't give us any information about the hotel/ breakfast/anything really.
