A real home from home.
Pros:

The hotel was a "home from home" while moving house. The hotel was a real haven from all the mess of moving house, and I asked for a bath in both our rooms and got it, and that was bliss.

Cons:

The food at dinner was ok but not great. It might be better in the summer months when they have more guests eating in, and when upgrading the running of the kitchen is more cost effective. The pub down the road is very busy so the costumers are there, its just a matter of capturing the market.

Lovely place
Pros:

Very comfortable room and the staff were lovely

Cons:

There could have been more variety on the dinner menu but we understood why as the restaurant is very small so it wouldn’t be viable to do much more - what we did eat was very nice

Lovely peaceful stay at the Manor, very cosy room and the breakfast each morning was lovely!
Pros:

The staff were all lovely and helpful, and the breakfast was amazing, a wide range of choices and lovely food. We ate in the restaurant one evening which was also lovely. Really nice atmosphere and a good location to explore the new forest

Cons:

WiFi not the strongest in the bedroom upstairs but not a major issue as could use data- WiFi downstairs in lounge and bar area was good.

An interesting place to stay
Pros:

It all went very well thank you. And we liked the hotel and the area.

Cons:

The only thing was at breakfast. I ordered a yoghurt and cooked breakfast, but the yoghurt was not brought until the cooked breakfast was brought. Also we weren't aware before arrival that we were on the 2nd floor with no lift. As we are over 70, we would have appreciated that information, and possibly the chance to have a room on the 1st floor

Pros:

Lovely staff & beautiful grounds. My little boy & I had a lovely time.

Cons:

The wifi in the bedroom didn’t work consistently. A breakfast buffet style would have probably worked more efficiently than full waitress service, although the service & food was good.
