A Lovely room
Pros:

The room was beautiful! The owners were kind and helpful! We were experiencing record heat temperatures and despite the lack of AC, they did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. Lots of free parking and an e-charging station

There was a nice pub and restaurant connected to the rooms. The location is right next to the New Forest and a short drive to Salisbury and Stonehenge. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing place.
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. We were shown to our room and it was absolutely beautiful, really clean and we loved the decor. We ate in the restaurant and we all enjoyed our food, especially my husband who is quite fussy when it comes to steak! Breakfast was also really good with a good choice and good value for money. The pub is situated in a lovely village and we would definitely recommend staying there, and hope to return to meet our friends again in the near future.

Beautifully maintained property, high quality food & wine in an English village
Pros:

The property served outstanding food and was beautifully maintained - located in an old English village that oozes history and old world charm. The food was outstanding and the wine list was impressive. The owners were helpful and advised on the wine as well as preparing top cocktails. The choice of two restaurant spaces for food and a large rear garden with ample parking added to the quality experience . Beautiful plants and flowers In hanging baskets and tubs abounded on the property. The room was spotless and styled perfectly. The super bathroom was the same. That bath!

Cons:

A perfect place to relax & stay. Top food with an excellent wine list.

A delightful stay. We’ll be back so thankyou!
Pros:

Attractive and welcoming. We loved the building and the outbuildings and the choice of outdoor areas. The bedroom was spacious, attractive and comfortable. A major factor was the warm welcome from all the staff and the attention to detail and care of us during our stay.
It’s in a beautiful village with glorious countryside views from the the pub. The food was delicious and the service fantastic and we chose to return for lunch even after we’d vacated the room.

Cons:

Nothing

Like a rundown nightclub in the morning.
Pros:

From the outside it looks lovely.

Cons:

Run down, boarding house. Noisy travellers party that went on into the early hours. The music was deafening, the place reeked of cigarette smoke, and the staff were unavailable. The room was filthy. The carpet had stains and hair matted in and sticky dust along the skirting boards and windows. Peeling wallpaper and dirty broken bath and shower. You have to go through an extremely noisy pub and wait until they stop serving to book in. The locals are staring at you, making you uncomfortably aware that you’re invading their territory as you stand there with suitcases waiting to be rescued. In the end we abandoned the place and booked into a proper hotel. Didn’t get the money back.
