Very enjoyable. Donkeys wandering outside quite charming.
Pros:

Cons:

Nothing

Good place to explore New Forest
Pros:

Very nice touch - letters of Happy Birthday being put into my room before arrival!
Comfortable bed, central location to wander around and explore New Forest.
Good coffee and breakfast.
Conveniently located restaurant together with the hotel, so during winter months you don’t have to go anywhere if you don’t want to.

Cons:

Customers names displayed at the parking lot. In all my extensive travelling around the world I’ve never seen that.. something in me thinks it’s too much information shared with the whole village. Maybe it’s better to use Room names for allocated parking, not customers full names.
I had to use an electric heater as it was cold at night, but wall heaters didn’t work.
Too heavy air fresheners, had to switch both of them off.

Heerlijk verblijf
Pros:

Het was brandschoon en gezellig ingericht. Fijn bed en douche en een heerlijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Het plafond en deurposten waren vrij laag, regelmatig ons hoofd gestoten, maar dat was ook de charme van een oude Inn.

Pros:

All the staff was really nice and welcoming. The included breakfast was great.

Cons:

The mattress in our room needs to be changed, we had back pain from the springs poking at us. I was expecting much more at the price we paid. Normally $300 cad/night gets us outstanding comfort.

We enjoyed it and thank the hosts
Pros:

The restaurant served excellent food. The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The toilet brush was unsightly as not clean despite the room being clean.
It would have been helpful to have hooks in the bathroom for clothes when in the shower
