Staying for the weekend, we were happy with the peaceful location and comfort of the rooms. But, oh, what a shame about the restaurant and pricing. Both my wife and I are not large eaters - usually giving the desert course a miss - but I have never known such small portions at dinner. As all vegetarian meals on offer... More

I arrived here on the 7 June one night stay as I was on business. The hotel is down a long winding road but easy to get too. Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly member of staff who was very polite and helpful. She even offered to take my bags to my room which is rare. The room... More

We had stayed here many years ago. It is within walking distance of Burley, but beyond us now. We had a friendly greeting by the reception, but there was no lift and no offer made to help with cases. The room was a standard one and was adequate but small, but good size bathroom All clean and comfortable. We understand... More

Stayed here for two nights last week whilst on business. Initially very impressed... Beautiful location, attractive grounds and reasonable price for a hotel with a pool and sauna (single room £61). The staff are very attentive and helpful. So far so good. However, a friend and I both ate in the bar on Thursday about 2pm and chose the Baked... More

Our short break in this hotel was a delight. Location is great -- you can walk straight into open forest. The room was comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. And the food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner. We shall certainly be returning ourselves and can recommend it to others.

really nice hotel, very clean, friendly & helpful staff. Cooked breakfast very hot and fresh. Really relaxed atmosphere, and the staff seem to cover all jobs so you do sometimes have to wait for attention, but it is a small hotel and thats part of the relaxed setting, no one was hurrying to do anything :). Dogs are allowed in... More

This is a lovely hotel, set off the beaten track about a 10 minute walk from Burley village. The staff were all lovely, really friendly and helpful and the food we had in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast was wonderful. We stayed in room 12, and unfortunately this was a bit of a disappointment. The décor was... More

BOOKING After reading all the reviews I telephoned the New Forest Hotels booking number with the original plan of booking a one-night "dinner, bed & breakfast" deal at the sister hotel the Bartley Lodge. However the booking agent was kind enough to inform me that on the day of my planned visit a wedding (with disco until midnight) was taking... More

All those little things that can make such a diference - were missing. Like staff: more often than not, the reception and bar were like a ghost town - and this was at times like early evening and morning check out time, when they could surely expect to be busy. There were bells to ring for attention, but these didn't... More
