Ian

Liked: Cleanliness
Stayed just the one night (room only). Room was a good size and there was everything a guest would need. Shower was excellent. Have to take issue however with the hotel’s policy of allowing dogs in rooms. Appreciate this is walking country being on the edge of the New Forest but animals should be quartered in a separate outside block. There was nothing in the room booklet about dogs and a brief caption stating ‘dogs welcome’ on the hotel website. My wife and I would not book again for this reason. Overpriced in our view at £161 per night, excluding breakfast.
