Perfect pet friendly stay in Brockenhurst
Pros:

We loved our stay at The Huntsman, our room Mallard was clean, cosy and they kindly provided us with a dog bed for our Vizsla. The room was extremely comfortable and the roll top bath was perfect to unwind after a long drive. There is a Nespresso machine in the room and a great variety of teabags. We really appreciated the dog treat gifts it was a really kind gesture. We paid the additional for breakfast and there was a wonderful buffet of fresh pastries, fruit, cereals, fresh bread, variety of spreads and yogurt as well as a cooked breakfast made to order. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting the New Forest with your dog or for a short getaway. If you’re travelling by train Brockenhurst station is less than a 5 minute walk away and if travelling by car there is plenty of parking available. It’s also a great pub to visit the open fires, good vibes and even has a bowling alley for private events.

Cons:

We liked everything, the staff and owners were really friendly. We did wish we got to meet the owners Vizsla Copper but hopefully we can see him next time.

Second stay at hotel, unlikely to return for a third as seems standards are slipping. Very accessible to New Forest, lim
Pros:

Good location although our room was at the front so lots of noise from traffic

Cons:

I emailed the hotel 3 weeks in advance to request help with decorating our room for our daughters birthday, did not get a response. Our room was a little dusty. Need to invest in decent windows, the sash windows let lots of noise and cold in.

Excellent accomodation in the heart of the New Forest.
Pros:

The room was really lovely. It's very clean, comfy bed, spacious and well decorated. They leave fresh milk and there is a nespresso coffee machine. The breakfast was also excellent. Although it is on the pricy side for what it is, we would definitely stay again. The location is perfect.

Cons:

The accomodation is really lovely. The only thing to mention, we had a drink in the main pub and had planned to have dinner, however there were lots of fruit flies and they kept landing on our drinks - in the middle of winter...! It put us off eating dinner there which was a shame.

Pros:

We had a superb time staying over at The Huntsman and at their NYE celebrations. We were in the area for NYE dinner at The Pig, but ended up coming back to The Huntsman early because we had had such a fantastic time earlier and being there for the midnight countdown and beyond. The staff were wonderful and incredibly friendly, and the rooms were cozy and very comfortable. What an unexpected find - highly recommend!

Cons:

Everything was perfect!

Lovely room
Pros:

Its a beautiful building and the rooms were really nice.

Cons:

Unfortunately bed was too soft for us. The room was small and macerator in toilet loud (we understand why there was one).
The breakfast was disappointing. Paid for bed and breakfast and I asked for select items off full English and got 1 of each. Not even larger portion. So disappointing.
Breakfast ingredients were great quality though just quantity was disappointing
