Well placed for the town/sea front, the beautiful New Forest & the ferry to the Isle of Wight. Clean, tidy room and very friendly & helpful staff. Property has been modernised in certain areas especially the bedrooms. Good car parking. Simple but satisfactory breakfast and adequate evening meal. Happy to recommend this for all the above & would certainly be happy to stay there again. Very good value for the money.

Lovely large room at the front of the pub overlooking the road. Stayed on a Friday night and was slightly worried it would be noisy but it wasn't at all. Very peaceful. Didn't eat in the restaurant but the drinks were good value and the breakfast was first rate. Would say far much better than many farmshops we've visisted. Lovely young lady hosting breakfast.
