Style over practicality and comfort
Pros:

Room well appointed, if a little tired.

Cons:

Cramped and stuffy, couldn’t open windows. Bathroom v small could hardly move and putting a bath in there made it hazardous as there was barely room to safely climb in and out of the shower. Had to get out of bed to turn off lights - ridiculous

Pros:

Sehr schönes, altes Gebäude mit ausreichend Parkplätzen. Unserem Wunsch nach einem ruhigen Zimmer hinten raus wurde nachgekommen. Vorne zur Straße nicht empfehlenswert.
Historischer Charme, schöner Frühstücksraum.

Cons:

Frühstück in Buffetform, könnte noch etwas verbesserungswürdig sein. Kaffee am 2. Tag superstark, selbst mit Milch kaum trinkbar. Rührei nicht so toll.

It Ain't Half Hot
Pros:

Lovely old building, great location, good parking, filling breakfast, nice cocktails

Cons:

The room was unbearably hot unfortunately, a good few degrees hotter than the ambient temperature (i.e. outside and in corridors). This because all of the windows were sealed shut except for one which had a limiting strap on it so couldn't be opened more than a crack. Didnt sleep a wink.

All in all nothing to fault this venue will always be where I stay when I’m visiting Lyndhurst!
Pros:

Great suite, really clean.

Staff were ALL so welcoming.

The dinner at the restaurant was superb again excellent service at the table.

I had two bikes to store and this was no issue they were kept safely for both days in a secure locked room which we could access at anytime.

Cons:

The only downside was the parking quite tight and spaces were limited.

Great stay
Pros:

The location, beautiful old building and pretty, secluded garden.

Cons:

The layout of the bedroom...the chest of drawers would be better under the mirror by the bathroom door with the tv mounted on the wall

pompous and soulless
Pros:

Location

Cons:

People working there need to be kinder and more empathetic. The room wasn't like the one shown in the booking app. My little window was blocked by a scaffold. Nobody told me that or offered any compensation for not even having access to natural light.
