The room was spotless, as was the entire hotel. All staff were very good as well. One small gripe, there was a booklet in the room about the Bell Inn, sadly the cover was sticky! But this did not detract from a very pleasant stay.

Unplanned stay, since our original spot didnt work out.. It turned out to be a lucky break. The area, New Forest, is beautiful, with ponies roaming wild, and an excellent pub across the road. Staff were helpful and rooms comfortable.

Nice stay

Nice stay: friendly staff, room nice but nothing too special and quite hot so wouldn’t want to stay in summer, pretty location but not walking distance to any cafes/villages etc. Quite baffled that the breakfast was £50 (£25pp) which was more than the beef Sunday roast….?!

An excellent overnight stay with a very good sized room. The food was too a very high standard and a good choice from the menu. Only issue I had was the bathroom was very hot despite the towel rail was not on and could not see how to turn the heating off , this is a minor issue but would recommend this hotel to anyone staying nearby

Excellent hotel for a short New Forest break

The hotel is lovely with horses and donkeys wandering around across the street. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming - we stayed with our cocker spaniel and could eat and drink at some nice tables near the log fire. The hotel provided dog treats and water bowls. The food was very good with a chestnut and wild mushroom gnocchi being a favourite. Room and beds very comfortable and decent Wi-Fi throughout.

At check-in they didn't have me down as a client. The clerk was very nice but had to make up a room for four. The rollaway metal beds were awful, mattresses were thin and the bed was small. Not a good nights sleep for the kids.

Great place expensive brekkie

Great place but breakfast is massively overpriced. One option of paying £29.99. Weather you want a limited continental or just scrambled eggs in toast it’s one price. Quite archaic.

The property was nice and we enjoyed the beautiful garden. The location was great too in the New Forest. Staff was very friendly and allowed us to store our bikes in a closed garage. The room we booked did not meet the requirements for a proper hotel room. It was too tiny and neither a chair nor a table would fit in. The bathroom was okay and we had warm water all the time. If you opened the window, there was a constant noise from a ventilation system which was installed right behind the window. We felt, the value for the money (average 100 pounds) we paid was not very good.

Unfortunately, a massive disappointment. Room was supposed to be a deluxe for four, could barely fit one bed in. Food & breakfast overpriced, room too warm, music playing from upstairs till late at night. One nice lady on reception; one rude with a poor attitude. TV in room didn’t work. This is a 2-star hotel really. I would expect a partial refund for what we experienced.

Nice place to stay. We ate dinner and breakfast there as well as stayed. The dinner was lovely. I felt the continental breakfast was a bit of a let down. They didn’t replace empty items for a long while, and I noticed people coming in to find no bowls or some items of food. Appreciate there weren’t that many staff in at the time but need to keep an eye on that. Cooked breakfast looked good. Room was very hot and had to have the window open all night (which wouldn’t stay in place and kept blowing open and shut with the breeze), didn’t cool the room down much at all, I don’t think this was weather related, it was just a very hot room. Luke warm shower and it took ages to get any warm water to wash in the sink. Bed very small for two adults. Our friend lucked out and had a huge bed to himself. Appreciate we just booked a double room and not king size but still a little disappointed in the room itself. Overall it was a great stay despite a few niggling things. We enjoyed the bar and dining facilities . Would we stay again? Absolutely. Lovely location and despite being situated in a busy road it was very quiet.
