Lovely place, great food and friendly staff

Great place to stay for Valentines day with good location. Lovely warm welcome from staff on arrival who showed us to our room. Stayed in room 5, gorgeous room which was very spacious.Cocktails were great and the food was delicious. Unfortunately we didnt sleep very well due to very hot room and faulty radiator. Comfy kingsize bed and great shower. Breakfast was delicious and member of staff was very helpful. Will definitely return

We were pleased that our room had a view over the marina, which was lovely. Fascinating watching the Isle of Wight ferry come and go. The ensuite was nicely decorated, and modern, but the overhead shower head could do with replacing as water came out of only about half the holes. Lovely toiletries provided. The room looked lovely, but there are many paint chips and scuffs. Downstairs, the food was really good. Breakfast also tasty, though I'd have liked cereals to be available as well. Overall, it served our purposes well, but the whole place could do with a big tidy up.

Found a toenail clipping & bugs in the bed

The pub is charming to look at and the meal was nice but our room was shocking. There was mould on one of the bathroom towels and when we woke up my partner found a toenail clipping stuck to his arm and he was covered in little black bugs! I complained and received a discount on my food bill. Strange customer service as my meal was the best part of the stay and received no complaints from us.

Hotel & pub full of character

A pub/hotel full of character and in a great location. The room was large, comfortable and well furnished and decorated. Great shower. We had a meal and the food was excellent so to the lovely breakfasts. The building as a whole needed a little tlc and gripes are minor. The manager was somewhat short and harassed at check in and again at dinner. The other staff were charming. Our stay coincided with bin day and the hottest day of the year - so with windows open it was early start for us. The TV didn’t work - not a big issue as we didn’t really need it but not ideal. Overall a good experience and perfect location to explore Lymington and the new forest.

Good points: We (1 adult, two kids) stayed in the Aston Suite and there was plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and large. The bathroom was in good condition and the water pressure was exceptional. There was parking at the pub and EV charging in the public car park at the back of the pub. Not so good: When i booked the room i received confirmation at one price from Expedia and another confirmation from the Mayflower for £25 more. I called to see what was going on and was told it was an extra guest fee, then it was for breakfast - neither was true. On arrival I was assured it was an issue with Expedia and i would only be charged the amount Expedia had confirmed. Luckily I checked my credit card before i checked out because I'd been charged an extra £36. Again told this is an Expedia issue. This all tainted the experience. The refund hasnt come through yet, so yet more chasing and complaining.
