Pros:

Staff were great, and location was good.

Cons:

The bed had a coffee stain on it and the beds were two single beds attached together. Apart from that the room was clean and tidy.

We traveled with our dog, and it was perfect.

Lovely location, would stay again
Pros:

We booked this a few hours before turning up, as we didn’t know where we wanted to go or what parts of the New Forest we wanted to visit during our stay. When we got there we were staying in a lovely room and the entire place is beautifully old and charming with a lovely outside space, fireplace and very dog friendly. We decided to eat here so we could relax and not have to bounce around looking for food and we are so glad we did. Sometime when you stay in a pub the food can be very ordinary, but this was absolutely not the case, we had the pork steak, burger and ox cheek mac and cheese (which was incredible) all the food and drinks were amazing, especially the espresso martini which is a speciality of one of the bar team. We would absolutely go back and recommend it not only for its lovely accommodation but also if you’re just looking for a really good and wholesome meal with nice staff and vibes, this is a great choice.

Cons:

No issues no comment on. Everything was really good for the prices we paid.

Very enjoyable, but could have been improved by better room standards (just being picky).
Pros:

Amazing breakfast! Great staff and evening meal. Room was good but had a musky smell (room was Goose)

Cons:

The room in terms of the musky smell. Also a memory foam mattresses would have been better. My wife found the mattress a bit hard. Also the sound proofing between rooms wasn't great.,
