Reviews and Ratings
Despite some minor unfinished details after a recent refurbishment, the hotel offered spacious and clean rooms with fluffy towels and bathrobes. The staff were very welcoming, almost to the point of overkill, but provided good service. The location was convenient for exploring the New Forest area, although there was an unpleasant odor of drains in the bedroom. The dining experience was of a high standard, featuring well-cooked meals with regional products. The facilities were decent, catering to the guests' needs.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but unfortunately, the construction noise from the nearby site was quite disruptive. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay more pleasant.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit outdated and the shower wasn't working properly, plus there was dust behind the beds. However, the service was impeccable, with friendly staff making my stay comfortable. The location was convenient with easy parking, though some renovation work was going on during my visit. The dining experience was excellent overall, but some items had high supplement charges. The facilities were decent, with a notable make-your-own pancake machine available.
The hotel is perfectly located near the sea and a park for lovely walks. The rooms were spacious and clean, but a bit on the small side. The service provided was incredibly helpful and friendly, especially for my little doggie. The dining experience was pleasant with good options, though improvements could be made. The location offers a superb setting for cycling, walking, and relaxation.
