We stayed 2 nights and would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were delightful, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was truly impressive. Well worth a visit!

Really enjoyed staying here. It was a one stop night for a trip through the new forest with the bike. We stayed here in a group of three, with another large party (6) following. All enjoyed the hotel. There was secure storage for the bikes. The rooms themselves were fine. Not 2012 furniture, but it did the job, digital TV,... More

Anyone visiting the New Forest from Easter onwards needs to understand that prices are relative. The Penny Farthing offers excellent value for money and is in an ideal location in central Lyndhurst. Our room was a good size, with a bath, over-bath very hot shower, immaculately clean suite and a good queen-sized bed. Not the most luxurious furniture but absolutely... More

We stayed here for one night during a visit to the New Forest. Friendly staff, good car park and easy walk to shops and restaurants. I found the room a little small and - being an older building - a bit on the noisy side when residents walked along the corridors etc.. The room was very clean and the hotel's... More

We've just stayed 3 nights here for our first visit to the New Forest. We had a lovely room (one double bed & one single) at the very top of the hotel in the converted attic. The 2 flights of stairs did not bother us, but if you have difficulties with stairs, there is no lift. The room was clean... More

Great staff, understood trhe meaning of "strong tea please". You may laugh, but 5 star operators I have frequented do not get that! Rooms very clean and modern. Furniture not the... More
