Nice peaceful stay and adequate for what we needed for a short time.
Pros:

It was a nice location and pleasant staff. Parking was easy and reception staff friendly and relaxed. Room was a decent size for the family. Breakfast was adequate but a little limited cereal-wise and some additional jams and things would have been nice. Outside area was really stunning with all the seats and areas to walk.

Cons:

The room was a good size but the thick wooden shutters on the windows were annoying and trying to get some fresh air and open the window was tricky. Taller people need to watch their heads in the family room with the twin beds as the roof alcoves are low. Felt a bit dated in parts.

Agréable séjour au calme au coeur de la New Forrest.
Pros:

L'hôtel, bien situé au coeur de la New Forrest, offre un jardin somptueux et un intérieur au charme quelque peu désuet. Il était très calme, de jour comme de nuit, et les repas étaient excellents (cuisine primée). Le petit déjeuner buffet était très complet et délicieux. Le parking (inclus) est généreux. Le personnel était accueillant et coopératif.

Cons:

Quelques faiblesses au niveau de l'équipement, un peu vieillot. Nous avions deux chambres (pour deux adultes et une enfant de 12 ans). Problème de douche qui arrosait toute la salle de bain de l'une, bruits d'eau divers et persistants dans l'autre. Difficulté également d'utiliser l'électricité; l'hôtel ne disposait pas d'adaptateur UK -> UE adéquat. Je retiens qu'il vaut mieux s'en équiper avant de traverser le channel.

An amazing weekend in a place we’ve stayed at twice now and would return! The staff and location are amazing. Perfectly
Pros:

Perfect location, brilliant friendly attentive staff

Cons:

I think a few small details within the rooms would go along way if improved. Conveniently located sockets, not lumping them all in one place and for example having a full length mirror with no socket near by in the “hallway”, a mini fridge, holes from pictures which have been moved or removed not filled properly

Nice place to stay, we only stayed one night but would consider staying again.
Pros:

Nice hotel, tastefully decorated. Garden looked lovely. Room was an adequate size, nice and clean. Breakfast had a good selection. Staff friendly. Looked as though you could hit the trails straight from the hotel.

Cons:

Shower a little lack lustre and our room did overlook the road but the road was quiet.

Breakfast was great and location was good, although a little too far from the train station/town centre for my 4 year old to walk it comfortably.
