Pros:

SO much attention to detail, spare specs available, as were wellies in a wet time. Last time we stayed was years ago. Lovely garden, friendly staff, a special mention to the gentleman on breakfast service, his gentle sense of humour and care for the guests was first class. Would we stay again? Certainly.

Cons:

Just nit picking really but the bathroom radiator towel rail would have been better 6" further from the door. When the towels were on it and the door opened they were knocked to the floor, too close.

A wonderful peaceful spot in the heart of the New Forest.
Pros:

A lovely hotel, set in a wonderful tranquil spot just outside Brockenhurst. So nice to wake up and see the New Forest ponies roaming right outside the hotel! Beautiful gardens with lots of outside seating and plenty of car parking space. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, everything was superb. The bedroom was newly renovated and had some really nice touches (including Nespresso coffee machine, DAB radio, Dyson hairdryer) and a huge bathroom. All the staff were wonderful, very friendly and always wanted to help. We'll definitely go back.

Cons:

It's hard to be critical of this hotel. Maybe you could argue that it had limited facilities (no gym, no pool) but the tranquility and the ambiance more than made up for that!
