Bartley Lodge Hotel

This is a very comfortable hotel within the New Forest. It is a quiet peaceful hotel, and the food is of a decent quality. The pool is a nice addition. The hotel has nice grounds in which to walk, especially if you take a dog. Shakira and Tom were especially exemplary employees who went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable.

We had a two night stay and it was very enjoyable. The hotel is tucked away down a windy bumpy lane but it was very accessible from the main road at the top end of the New Forest.at Cadnam. The Bbreakfasts (fulll English) were a good start to the day and the pillows were gorgeous - I you like soft pillows. We slept well and it was very quiet and relaxing. . A short drive to Lyndhurst the" Captal" of he New Forest. Well worth heading into the heart of the Forest down some unlikely lanes and especilly the more elevated area. Just watch out for the Ponies and Donkeys.who'll just amble out when it suits them. I think there 5,000 in total(?) . .

Lovely room. Beautiful location. Friendly staff.

Had a really enjoyable stay here- fab location, beautifully peaceful, comfortable room, staff attentive, breakfast and dinner both lovely - cannot fault our stay and will definitely stay again- actually we would have extended our stay had work commitments not called us home.

Staff called before our arrival to confirm booking and ascertain bedroom preferences and time we’d like breakfast etc. very welcoming.
Room tastefully decorated spacious and comfortable bed.
We arrived at 9 pm ordered coffee which was served with homemade shortbread. Receptionist efficient and friendly.
Excellent value for money . We will definitely stay again !

Gorgeous building both interior and exterior, beautiful grounds and the garden. I felt truly relaxed after my stay there.

Everything except food

The location was great, close to New Forest national park and easily accessible for Lyndhurst and other villages and towns. Staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast is worth paying the upgrade, it was lovely.

Everything and even the electric car charging facilities

Visited this location having received a gift for the traitors event and overnight stay. The event it self was very good and credit goes to the team building company for that.

Unfortunately having advised that my dietary requirement were chicken or vegetarian but no mushroom (as most veg options are heavily based on mushrooms) I was served pork belly, and on asking if I could switch for the vegetarian option the server went off to check and came back with a clip board and told me that I had ordered the pork, which I hadn’t as it was a set menu that wasn’t shared before hand and that it would be 20minutes. This wasn’t ideal as everyone else had almost finished and I would end up missing part of the event waiting for my food.

The hotel it self is nice, as a listed building there are quirks, so if you like ultra modern this is not the place for you. Sadly the beds could do with an upgrade as the one in room 7 was most uncomfortable and you could feel every spring, sore back in the morning.
They may well be replacing the mattresses as there was a visible pile of mattresses in the grounds - not quite the countryside view one would expect.

Breakfast was included, but it did seem quite expensive if you were room only, but there was a good choice of cooked options, and the cold buffet had plenty of options.

We liked everything- friendly people, beautiful location, comfortable accommodation and good breakfast.

We booked Bartley Lodge as part of a package for a place to stay after visiting Paultons park and it was far more than just that. Staff were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was spacious and comfortable and the hotel and grounds are beautiful! We were spoilt for choice at breakfast and really enjoyed an evening meal on one of our nights there too. The children were also very well looked after which made this an extra special place to stay - there was a lounge with toys for them to play with and it was no trouble at all when we asked if we could have some milk for them before bed. We will absolutely be returning here for a longer family trip.

The room was up two flights of stairs. My partner, who has limited mobility, did have some difficulty.

The room was a good size, with all of the usual facilities. No biscuits with the hospitality tray, but not a big problem!

There was a step up to a small alcove, with a sofa, which we tripped over a few times.

The room was warm and we had a window open all night.

The main issue with the room was the bathroom. The shower head would not stay in the shower head holder, and kept falling out as the clamp mechanism had weakened through wear.

There was a fair amount of black mould at the base of some of the tiles in the bath area, and also by the sink. I am susceptible to this as it causes me to cough.

The service at the evening meal was erratic. We had a table booked at 7pm and it was not too busy. The main course and drinks were served reasonably quickly and cleared away. We were given a dessert menu and then seemed to be forgotten. After 30 minutes I went to find a member of staff to order dessert.

Service at breakfast was similar. Again, reserved a table for 7:30am, when it was not too busy. It was 20 minutes before we were offered coffee, and a long wait for the cooked breakfast. It was 8:45am by the time we could leave the restaurant.

Although we don’t live far away, we would not visit this hotel again.

Tala and Jaden 5 star review for amazing service

Wedding great night especially with Emma Tala and Jaka
Lovely customer service

We enjoyed the Feast of the faithful, immersive event it was thoroughly entertaining, my dietary needs were catered for and the food was delicious. Great events team great hotel staff.

Love this hotel for the staff and location. Especially Jenny on reception and in the dining room. Always willing to go the extra mile and always with a smile on her face. The Restaurant staff were lovely as well. We have stayed a couple of times
before as a big family weekend. This time just an overnight stay before we board for a cruise. Things we noticed this time round. The bedroom (room 43) though clean could do with an update, it was looking a bit worn, nothing that a lick of paint wouldn’t cure. It was the Orangery that looked like a deep clean and a lick of paint wouldn’t go amiss. Chairs were stained and though not massive, cobwebs on the windows. My husband spotted a bad spot in the main dining room whilst waiting for his toast, a really large gathering of dust on the skirtings. There was a wedding at the hotel the night we stayed but as a normal guest it didn’t impact on our stay.
