Utterly wonderful, a superb balance between homely and luxury. So dog friendly throughout which was a real bonus, with plenty of space right next door to walk your dog. The staff were delightful and couldn't do enough. We'll definitely be back.

The White Buck was our first Fullers managed hotel and we were impressed with the service provided. Our reception host, Jenni, was attentive and helpful. We were placed in one of the external rooms which was fine, quiet and spacious. Food in the restaurant was a good standard, traditional modern pub food. We really liked the surrounding area and would certainly chose to start at The White Buck when we return.

The White Buck, Burley, Hampshire

Enjoyed a weekend break at The White Buck. Beautiful building, Lovely bedroom, bar/restaurant offering breakfast/lunch and dinner. There are also events that take place throughout the year. The White Buck is located in Burley, in the New Forest, Hampshire. Ideally placed for both Hampshire/Dorset coastline, and lots of picturesque villages and towns for sightseeing. Don't forget the New Forest ponies! Handy base if you want to get the ferry from either Lymington or Southampton to the Isle of Wight.

Came down for a wedding nearby and stayed at the white buck. The location in the new forest is lovely. The room was lovely, clean and well equipped. The food was delicious (surf and turf) The staff were all very helpful throughout. Dawn and Julie made getting up for breakfast a pleasure. Little touches like the milk in the fridge upstairs really did it for me as i love cold milk. Will defo be returning for a longer visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the white buck. The hotel rooms were spacious and quiet with good amenities. An amazing shower! Enjoyed the bar area with board games. Only downside was the quality of the food. It had good potential but just not cooked well. Although they were really good with allergies.

An Excellent Memory

We had an upgrade which we really appreciated. The room was quirky, old yet trendy appliances, lovely. The service was faultless and the staff couldn’t do enough to make us feel comfortable. Breakfast staff were particularly diligent, especially Jenny who was so attentive and thoughtful to our wishes. We will definitely return!

Room, breakfast excellent. Dinner not at all.

The room was excellent in every way. The breakfast was very, very good. The dinner, unfortunately, was not. They brought the wrong order and by the time they had corrected that the other order was cold and unappetizing. They apologized but did not make any effort to compensate in any way. They marred our 45th anniversary dinner.

The hotel is lovely and so is the pub garden and location. What spoilt it for us were the attitude of the senior staff on both the Saturday and Sunday. On two occasions we were over charged for someone else’s drinks and on both occasions we were made to feel like we were trying to get out of paying for a round of drinks when we had either paid already (and showed them the receipts for) or someone else’s drinks had been allowed to be added to our room. Spoilt what was supposed to be a birthday weekend
