Short and sweet!
Pros:

Beautiful and comfortable.

Cons:

We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday only to find out they stopped serving food then, so rather disappointed not to be able to eat there. But other restaurants available a short drive away.

Great location, secure, friendly & pleasant overnight stay
Pros:

Great village location for visiting Paulton's Park and New Forest. Nice decor, views & comfortable room. Friendly staff / owners.

Cons:

Not the most sound-proofed walls, however, can't be held accountable for other guests' slamming doors. Lack of opportunity to discretly raise one concern the next morning.

Extremely pleasant spot to spent the night and spend time for a bite and a drink!
Pros:

The couple who run this place are very nice, friendly people; warm characters and in balance formal at the same time. The whole setup of the place (bar, restaurant, biergarten, place for kids to play, rooms etc) is really perfect. Clean, spacious new rooms. A lot of times a singers with guitar player perform at the terrace, they were really good; if you're not into music it's easy to escape from it cos there's places enough to sit. The surroundings are nice nature and the pub/hotel is situated in a small cosy village. The local pub visitors are very nice people too by the way.
The food is good; slightly higher of quality than pub food and very decent proportions. The breakfast (paid) is good.
Plenty of room to park the car; electric charging possible; silent at night.
Indeed a place for a king ;-)
One bonus; I sleep usually ok. Here it was the first time in literally months that I went sleeping and slept in one go; if only I could take the bed with me back home!
Compliments for the owners.

Cons:

I could really not think of anything unless it is that England didn't make the finals of the football; we did watch the finale and were happy that Spain won and not Argentina....

Very enjoyable and we may not have noticed any problem with the ventilation if it hadn’t been so hot. 
Pros:

Very friendly people and lovely new facilities.

Cons:

There appeared to be absolutely no ventilation system. The French doors out onto a patio were lovely but did not have a window when closed. There did not appear to be a fan or other aeration system. The lovely bathroom had a shaving mirror but there was no hot point for an electric shaver that we could see.
