Great country get away

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are modern and really clean and the Inn itself is right in the heart of the forest which was so accessible for all walks. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the breakfast was brilliant and huge! Would totally recommend.

Well worth visiting!

We had a lovely three night stay at the New Forest Inn. The staff were extremely friendly from the start and made us feel very welcome. Our room, the cosy double, while small was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. The inclusive full English breakfast was generous and very tasty and food was available all day in the pub restaurant, with excellent choices. We have every intention of returning to this Inn for a relaxing break.

Our room was situated on the upper floor, there’s a side entrance to the rooms right next to the pub restaurant. The room was lovely and cosy, towels were neatly rolled and placed on the bed for guests to use. Shampoo and shower gel were all provided. Breakfast was also included in our stay as well. The New Forest Inn all day breakfast was fantastic!!! Very big portions, everything comes in double. Dinner at the restaurant was also delicious! Must try out their lamb dishes. We had a pleasant stay at the New Forest Inn and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for accommodations in the area.

This is a lovely old country pub with nice log fires, the rooms are nice clean and warm, they are dog friendly so as a dog owner it’s all you could ask for, after fabulous food you can go and walk it off in the forest, the staff are all nice and friendly, they are very attentive but not overbearing which is fabulous, it is great watching the donkeys walked passed at breakfast, would highly recommend and will be going back again soon

Smack bang in the middle of the New Forest itself, it would have been criminal of me not to explore the surrounding wooded areas as part of a long walk. My room was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The shower helped wash away the day's labors but the bed could have been more comfortable. I dined there on the evening which was ok but for breakfast, the eggs were undercooked and the bacon cooked to the point that you could only identify it via its fingertips. All in all, I would look to stay here again but would perhaps dine elsewhere.

Lovely pub and room, overall it was fantastic, the staff really make it what it is!!. If i had to moan, queen size bed was 2 tiny singles pushed together. And my side sloped down to the floor and it would be nice if the juice at breakfast was chilled. Howeverbreakfast and food in general was very good. Would definitely return
