EV Charging a Problem

Chose this hotel because they assured me they provide EV charging. On arrival I needed charge badly and found the chargers on site had no cables. This should have been made clear when I asked the wuestion at the time of booking. Local chargers were out of action, so immense range anxiety which almost caused me to return home early.

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.

The staff was very nice. The bedroom was very comfortable as were the beds. The breakfast was very tasty and affordable. Parking was conveniently outside. It was nice seeing dogs in the hotel. But unfortunately I stepped on dog poo on the short walk from the hotel entrance to my car which was not pleasant at all. The brown pebbles made it hard to see. All in all I would come back if I was in the are but careful where you step.

Hotel which caters well for dog owners.

Lovely staff,very clean,comfortable bedrooms,ideal for dog owners with a dog exercise paddock. The room was very warm. Dinner ok but nothing to write home about. Just convenient if you are staying there. Definitely would stay again.
