When looking for our wedding venue we knew exactly what we wanted- nothing that we'll be paying off for years to come, not a big chain hotel but something special to us. And we certainly had that at Stanwell House!

From our first visit to the hotel (a wet dark evening) we knew there was only one place we'd be getting married. Both Annette and Lucy were amazing- calmly replying to the many emails sent, giving advice and help where needed. The food was amazing, the chief did an amazing job and all our guests came away full! We were very lucky with a sunny day, which only added the lovely venue as we were able to enjoy the garden!!

Asked recently If we'd change anything about our day, I said absolutely nothing. The staff did over and above what they needed to do in making our special day special. I wld highly recommend anyone having a wedding to have it at Stanwell.

Stayed at Stanwell house last Monday for business. The standard never changed, very high quality overall. Nothing to fault and believe me I have stayed in planty of hotels in my life.
Restaurant food is beautifull and top mention to the lady who runs breakfast.

I recently stayed for a long weekend at stanwell house, they offer so much more than I would expect from a small boutique hotel. From the personal service at check in and the suburb room our stay was a joy. They have a range of rooms we stayed in the original Georgian part of the hotel which was great, I understand there are two new fantastic garden suites which we hope to stay when we return in the summer for an anniversary. We ate in the bistro one night which was great ( not cheap but well worth it ) the service was first class, we also had lunch on the Saturday in the conservatory which is a lovely room and buzzing from none guests who wanted to escape the street market which is a great draw locally ( this does make parking a problem but the hotel has a small car park ) My wife and myself have for the last few years visited the new forest and unfortunately not stayed here before, many of the close by and highly acclaimed hotels are loosing thier share of the market and I now know why! This hotel is such a great place to stay and being in the heart of lymington high street there is so much on your door step for a weekend away. We didn't need to go to our car once something that can't be said for the competition! thanks to the owners and staff who really do try and make your stay special. Keep it up.

Had a lovely stay in this hotel, the staff were friendly and amenable. We ate in the main restaurant on the first night, the food was very good albeit slightly overpriced. The breakfast was good and plentyful.
The rooms were clean and warm and well maintained. The only downside to it is the lack of parking, although I was aware of this beforehand so hardly reason to complain!
There were plenty of restaurants in the town and with regular ferries to the IOW, this sleepy town was an ideal getaway for a pleasant weekend.
