Pros:

We stayed for two nights in one of the rooms with a hot tub, luckily we decided to go for the hot tub as my wife had an accident just before our trip & was using crutches & these rooms are easily accessible, sadly she couldnt use the hot tub but i could 😅

The Three Lions is a lovely venue, plenty of parking, lovely grounds around the buildings with plenty of outside seating, our room was nice, clean & tidy & the small private decking area with seating & a hot tub was lovely to be out in & listen to the birds. We had breakfast & dinner both days at The Three Lions & the food was amazing, i couldnt fault any of it, well presented & just cooked perfectly, the staff were all professional, friendly & helpful, always welcoming & making sure we had everything we needed & that we were happy with the food.

We were very happy with our stay at The Three Lions & we are already planning another visit to The New Forest next year & we will definitely be considering staying at The Three Lions again, thank you to all the staff for making our stay absolutely faultless.

Great Accommodation and Pub
Pros:

The room staying in and the associated pub/restaurant were all very good. Clean, well presented room with all the things you would expect, including an electric fan to use when the nights were hot!

The pub had a great selection of drinks, including two real ales on draft. Due to other plans we did not eat an evening meal but were delighted with the quality and selection of the breakfasts.

The staff were very attentive and did all they could to make sure our stay was great.

Would highly recommend and would have no hesitation in booking again when i'm next in the area.

Pros:

Very informative staff and enjoyable breakfast.
Property has large car park and benefits from petrol station close by. Room we stayed in (Oak) was subject to irregular heating system noises which disturbed sleep.

Disgruntled
Pros:

The hotel is very expensive for one night granted it has a hot tub but the cleanliness is not the best in the hot tub or in the room itself. I arrived late and left early and should have said something then. Cobwebs everywhere in the room and a dirty carpet and towels. No sugar or sweeteners provided either.

A lovely weekend away
Pros:

This was an amazing, beauitful stay we will be returning.
Upon arrival we were kindly greeted and shown to our room. Very spacious, clean and private.
The hot tub was so relaxing and easy to use, we were in there for hours.
Breakfast very delicious with unlimited tea and coffee and worth the money.
The singing chef kept us entertained.
Also the food in the restaurant is top quality and worth the price.
The pub is out the way of the hustle and bustle but only a 20 min walk from the town fordingbridge.

Lovely stay with a hot tub
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at the three lions. The staff were all amazing and left us a card and some chocolates for our anniversary, which was really sweet.
The hot tub was warm and ready for us when we arrived. The only downside to this was there was no cover or canopy, and it was raining all evening so we didn’t get to enjoy this as much as possible.
The food was amazing, and they have a few games at the pub which made for a fun evening.
Unfortunately there is a light right outside the room that came on at some point during the night and woke me up around 2.30am, and made it very difficult to get back to sleep without a sleep mask.
However, overall it was a very nice night away.
