Best hotel stay in the area!

Amazing stay with a smooth check-in and check-out! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating; they let us borrow adaptors and helped us book a taxi. Location-wise it was a 15-minute walk to the high street, so it was quite convenient. There was a nice picnic area outside, where we ate for lunch.

A very pleasant hotel with friendly, efficient staff and very clean room. The mattress was a little firm for my arthritic shoulders but that is a personal preference.

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.

Travelled with a dog and found this the most dog friendly hotel that I have ever been to. Animals and people treated very well and room very clean and comfortable. Even have a dedicated and safe external paddock to exercise your dog. Would definitely return.
