A nice spot, good food, friendly service.
Pros:

The breakfast was delicious with many food choices including gluten free and vegan. Amazing room with separate area for other guests.

Cons:

Difficult to open windows. Thick layer of dust above curtains. Bathroom ceiling window needed cleaning and handle to reach to open. A fridge would be useful. Pillows were hard.

Good hotel in the New Forest offering great value
Pros:

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, food good (perhaps not great but better than expected). In all, very good value at the price.

Cons:

No problems at all, although picture is a bit misleading as the hotel does not sit in its own grounds

Pros:

Breakfast was good, full English and fruits. The location near brockenhurst is convenient. Garden is pleasant. Radio in room is a nice touch.

Cons:

No hairdryer in room. Despite asking one at front desk, they were not able to help. Receptionist also manages the bar so check in and trying to sort issues took a long time. Mattress was very old, had no give and uncomfortable. The towels had a strong chlorine smell
Room stuffy in summer heat and window was jammed. Rooms facing road have traffic noise. Bikes were not available in the hotel despite it being half term.

Pros:

Lovely room, excellent location, beautiful garden. AC served us well in 30+ degree weather.

Cons:

Breakfast focuses on heavy, cooked food, and they do well there. However fewer light options, for example no salad tomatoes or cucumbers. Beautiful, peaceful garden, but sometimes they decide to turn the music on there for no reason. Room window had not been cleaned in ages and had spider webs, but otherwise it was clean.
