Cons:

Lovely stay in a great location
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming – every single person we met was lovely. The room was very cosy, comfortable and full of character.

The pub was also fantastic and had such a warm, cosy atmosphere. We really enjoyed spending our evenings there before heading up to bed.

The location was very convenient too – just a short and easy walk from the train station. Overall, a really charming and comfortable place to stay.

Cons:

There honestly wasn’t much we didn’t like. If I had to mention one small thing, on our last night we had new guests staying in the room next door and we could hear quite a lot through the wall, so the soundproofing may not be the strongest. It wasn’t a major issue for us, though.

great location for New Forest Show
Pros:

Fortunately the weather was good so we could eat outside in the pleasant courtyard. The location was excellent for my purposes, visiting the New Forest Show.

Cons:

Very dark dining and bar area. No provision for me leaving before 8am - by good fortune we found a gate open
