Mid week break

A lovely hotel in the beautiful New Forest. Dog friendly and seemed very popular. Decorated nicely and some modern fabric choices on furnishings. Relaxed completely in the pool and sauna and felt invigorated by the hot tub. Would stay again if I could afford it, but it is a little pricey for my budget.

Lovely friendly hotel in lovely surroundings. Great restuarant on site too. Room quite small but views brilliant. Shower not that powerful but functional. Would have been nice to have body lotion in the bathroom too.

With the new Forest ponies on the doorstep and a stream to paddle in - it’s a great location and super friendly staff too
Sarah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth paying the extra £30pp for the spa, very nice and clean facilities but not worth the extra price just for a sauna and steam room, did enjoy sitting in the relaxation room but still not worth £30pp just for that. However the pool and jacuzzi already included in the price were not ok. Pool very small, shallow and cold, not able to swim in it. Jacuzzi also way too cold for a jacuzzi and is tiny, says can fit 6 people but only it you are sitting on each others laps! Very basic, area around the pool cramped and not very relaxing, was not what I was expecting from the photos. Rest of the hotel very nice, dinner and breakfast both lovely although dinner portions on the small side. Room and hotel itself very nice and clean, bar area around the fire very nice and cosy. Some staff a bit clueless but all friendly and polite. No fridge in the room which I always find slightly annoying. Overall very nice stay just disappointed in the spa and pool as booked for a nice relaxing spa break which we did not feel we got. Fine for a normal hotel stay with no expectations of a nice spa.

Bev, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Arrival - good. Simone looked after us well and we managed to check in early. Afternoon Tea - good. Honestly, for me I would prefer to be asked whether I wished to dial up the savoury or the sweet as this offering was too sweet for me especially the chocolate ganache Bedroom - ok. Bed linen had black mark on sheet. Bed frame had wear marks, shower glass had water marks, shower fixture was loose. We were in Room 3 - the noise from upstairs gave the impression there was a baby elephant stamping above us - not conducive to a relaxed environment. Breakfast- good. Fair selection on offer - surprised to hear Capuccino was a supplement, but ok. Bar - good. Enjoyed the music and the bar staff were helpful and sat in the tent and used heaters Pool - good. Changing facilities good too. Parking - good. No issue finding a space on site. Checkout - I do not recall going to a hotel that had a 10:30 am checkout time especially on a Sunday morning.

Lovely stay. Nice ambiance. Busy due to Easter weekend with lots of lovely dogs however service was brilliant with very friendly staff. Food delicious. Room was adequate but not a great view - a wall so that was a shame - I wonder how rooms are allocated? Bathroom was fine but very small. Thank you for a lovely stay.
