Great little spot for relaxing, exploring and enjoying Hampshire and the New Forest.
Pros:

Great location nice atmosphere good food and selection of drinks, well laid out with the restaurant and bar separated from the rooms, and a lovely comfortable room.

Cons:

Very little to moan about, the toilet seat in the bathroom was a bit loose but apart from that all great.

Adorable local Inn with great proximity to cruise port
Pros:

This inn is adorable and totally local. It had an incredible historic feel while being up to date and in great condition. The decor was thoughtful and having the local pub onsite was so special. We were there during warm weather so we really enjoyed the pub garden and afternoon cocktails as well as a chance to chat with locals. The food at the pub was incredible for both breakfast and dinner. We stayed here in an advance of a cruise out of Southhampton and it was a nice alternative to the bustle of the port area and only about 15 minutes drive to reach the cruise drop off area.

Cons:

We really enjoyed everything about the property, but with the warming world, they may want to think about investing in air con. It was quite warm in the rooms and difficult to cool off with just a couple of fans.

A gorgeous stay right before our cruise
Pros:

Beautiful hotel and Pub. Very pretty

Cons:

Purely the heat in our room. There was a fan already in there but with the heatwave- throughout the night it was just a noisy distraction moving warm air around. The room itself was stunning. Maybe invest in low noise fans/air conditioning

Fantastic!
Pros:

We loved The Pilgrim! Our room was great, and spotlessly clean. The staff were really helpful with everything - letting us store our bikes in their garage when we weren't using them was especially appreciated!

We had dinner and breakfast at the inn, and everything we had was delicious.

Genuinely can't recommend this place highly enough for a New Forest trip. We'll definitely be back!

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great!
