Lovely location and staff.
Pros:

The location of the Woodlands Lodge Hotel was superb.
The staff were absolutely fantastic and so friendly.
There are some great paintings dotted about the property that make you giggle.

Cons:

The property is slightly shabby and could do with updating, if it wasn’t for the staff and location I’d have been very disappointed.

Lovely location, great staff and good food and facilities.
Pros:

The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, the bar and restaurant were good. Staff were helpful when my mother in law had a fall.

Cons:

The floor in room 6 was very hot and room 7 was cold. The lights in the hall did not stay on long enough and my mother in law lost her balance and fell.

Good from start to finish
Pros:

Breakfast was cook to perfection and location was excellent if we had better weather we would have walk through the garden to the gate to the New Forest. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Am a bit unsteady on my feet sometimes and would have loved to have a grab rail in the shower.

Don’t waste your money.
Pros:

The ladies were lovely and very friendly and helpful, and the cooked breakfast was nice. Could do with a few more additions to accompany the cereals like rasberry’s and other fresh berries. Very sparce choices if you didn’t enjoy a cooked breakfast. Bed was comfy too.

Cons:

A very tired hotel, and had dirty carpets and dirty windows almost as if they have never been cleaned. They had paper covering a boiler of some sort. Room was disappointing for a deluxe room, not sure if it has ever been cleaned thoroughly either as found a piece of someone’s clothing left behind the bed. Expensive for the state of the hotel, would not be returning.

A convenient place to stay in a quiet and beautiful part of the New Forest.
Pros:

We really liked the location. It was quiet and within walking distance of walking trails through the New Forest. We drove easily to Lymington, Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Ashurst. There were lots of options for good food in the local area.

Staff were easygoing and friendly.

Cons:

They were in the process of renovating the property which we were not informed of. This involved drilling. Fortunately we were up and out most of the time, but our corridor had bare boards.

We visited during the May heatwave and were given a fan on request.

Breakfast was reasonably priced but there were no croissants, but cereal or toast, yogurt and fresh fruit. We didn’t have the cooked breakfast.

Don’t stay at the lodge. Not as it seems on the pictures
Cons:

No hot water and building works whilst staying.

No compensation was offered because we booked through Booking.com. Not sure why this is. Sounds like a convenient excuse
