Good hotel in a very good location
Pros:

This is a very comfortable hotel within the New Forest. It is a quiet peaceful hotel, and the food is of a decent quality. The pool is a nice addition. The hotel has nice grounds in which to walk, especially if you take a dog. Shakira and Tom were especially exemplary employees who went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable.

Tucked away but very accessible
Pros:

We had a two night stay and it was very enjoyable. The hotel is tucked away down a windy bumpy lane but it was very accessible from the main road at the top end of the New Forest.at Cadnam. The Bbreakfasts (fulll English) were a good start to the day and the pillows were gorgeous - I you like soft pillows. We slept well and it was very quiet and relaxing. . A short drive to Lyndhurst the" Captal" of he New Forest. Well worth heading into the heart of the Forest down some unlikely lanes and especilly the more elevated area. Just watch out for the Ponies and Donkeys.who'll just amble out when it suits them. I think there 5,000 in total(?) . .

Beautiful stay with average food
Pros:

Everything except food

Cons:

The food served was terrible. We ordered a basic club sandwich and it was served with a chicken bone in it. We had to cancel our dinner because of this experience.
The morning continental breakfast was average.

Great location, friendly staff and a great breakfast.
Pros:

The location was great, close to New Forest national park and easily accessible for Lyndhurst and other villages and towns. Staff were friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast is worth paying the upgrade, it was lovely.

Cons:

The property is in need of an upgrade especially outdoor garden seating where the rattan has all broken on the seats. Carpets throughout the hotel are worn and paintwork to windows and doors needs attention.

Beds need an upgrade
Pros:

Visited this location having received a gift for the traitors event and overnight stay. The event it self was very good and credit goes to the team building company for that.

Unfortunately having advised that my dietary requirement were chicken or vegetarian but no mushroom (as most veg options are heavily based on mushrooms) I was served pork belly, and on asking if I could switch for the vegetarian option the server went off to check and came back with a clip board and told me that I had ordered the pork, which I hadn’t as it was a set menu that wasn’t shared before hand and that it would be 20minutes. This wasn’t ideal as everyone else had almost finished and I would end up missing part of the event waiting for my food.

The hotel it self is nice, as a listed building there are quirks, so if you like ultra modern this is not the place for you. Sadly the beds could do with an upgrade as the one in room 7 was most uncomfortable and you could feel every spring, sore back in the morning.
They may well be replacing the mattresses as there was a visible pile of mattresses in the grounds - not quite the countryside view one would expect.

Breakfast was included, but it did seem quite expensive if you were room only, but there was a good choice of cooked options, and the cold buffet had plenty of options.
