Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers well-presented rooms that are clean and comfortable, although they may be considered expensive for the value. The service is professional throughout, with attentive staff, particularly in the spa. The location is ideal for exploring the New Forest, with the bonus of bikes for rent. The dining experience was extensive, although some delays were experienced. Overall, a peaceful break with both positive and negative aspects to consider.
The hotel rooms looked tired and dated, needing a refresh, and the overall experience was somewhat disappointing despite a lovely location by the ornamental pond. The service stood out positively, although there were complaints handled in a brusque manner. Dining was also disappointing with mean portions and poor service.
