A convenient place to stay in a quiet and beautiful part of the New Forest.
Pros:

We really liked the location. It was quiet and within walking distance of walking trails through the New Forest. We drove easily to Lymington, Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Ashurst. There were lots of options for good food in the local area.

Staff were easygoing and friendly.

Cons:

They were in the process of renovating the property which we were not informed of. This involved drilling. Fortunately we were up and out most of the time, but our corridor had bare boards.

We visited during the May heatwave and were given a fan on request.

Breakfast was reasonably priced but there were no croissants, but cereal or toast, yogurt and fresh fruit. We didn’t have the cooked breakfast.

Shocking property in a pretty location
Pros:

Lovely location

Cons:

It was tired, old and dirty. The rooms were desperately in need of an update. Bedding linen poor, bathrooms barely functional and carpets dirty.

Don’t stay at the lodge. Not as it seems on the pictures
Cons:

No hot water and building works whilst staying.

No compensation was offered because we booked through Booking.com. Not sure why this is. Sounds like a convenient excuse
