A great long weekend in Brockenhurst
Pros:

Quaint, classy food and accommodation , welcoming host.
A very pleasant way to spend a New Forest break. Named parking place is a great idea. Prime location in Brockenhurst makes travelling around very simple.

Cons:

Nothing really, our (very nice) shower needed a bit more "go" and some extraction would help with ventilation, to stop any build up of mould.

Very pleasant, food in the restaurant Friday was absolutely delicious
Pros:

Clean and tidy very plush carpet ! Nice touch having your own car space

Cons:

Breakfast , pre order night before but limited. As the man said first come first served - we arrived quite late 7ish due to traffic, was offered too late for us the following morning as we needed to leave earlier than offered, he did however sort something out but only continental (which was nice)
