Very disappointing lack of communication.
Pros:

The room was comfortable

Cons:

The toilet was not working. The water isolator had been turned off so someone must have known about the problem and not informed us. We only found out when we had already used it. When I turned on the water supply the water just ran straight into the toilet bowl without filling up the cistern. We had to turn the water off again and use the toilets in the pub. We sent a message first thing in the morning and informed the woman who checked us out. Nobody had bothered to get back to us. Very poor service.

Pros:

Thoughtful touches in the room like cookies and pillow spray, and breakfast was cooked to order which was great. Very nice pub stay in the New Forest with easy access to Roydon Wood, would recommend.

Cons:

For those without a car it is walkable from the train station but not along the main road which doesn't have a pavement

Fantastic stay in the New Forest - highly recommend for a country stay.
Pros:

Everything! Great location for walking trails, the restaurant served tasty food, and the service was so lovely - everyone was nice!

Cons:

A program in the room outlining local to-do's information/ reconfirming dining experience would be helpful. Also, there is no hair dryer in the unit. I would have appreciated that touch!

Pros:

The breakfast was amazing and also the staff were lovely too. Nothing was too much trouble. The only reason it was a little noisy was that there were some dogs in the other room. The hotel however put us in the furthest room so that was good. It didn’t make any difference to us as we enjoyed our stay at the Filly In. We have stayed several times before. Great food great staff and fabulous location.

Cons:

Nothing

The fact he knew there was a hygiene problem he still thought its ok to put guests in there !
Pros:

To be fair the staff in restaurant and bar staff, house keeping were lovely I give them a 9.👍

Cons:

We were given a room that had a strange smell to it once we walked in but we thought it probably go and left our bags and went for drinks but when we came back it was not good and a lot stronger,because cut was late we put up with it, but next morning we reported it to staff, apparently it was known to have hygiene problem with the main drainage
Why would you put guests in there,The young lady moved us which was ok
My main point was the manager said you can have a couple drinks on the house and something to eat and to be honest I thought he wasn’t even bothered about putting us in the room in the first place ! That’s my impression
Won’t be going back there shame as could be a really nice place
