Less Country Inn, more cheap hostel, go elsewhere

I was hoping for a lovely country inn weekend experience in the New Forest, while celebrating a birthday with family and friends. This was anything but! It felt like a cheap hostel. A very bright emergency light above the light fitting made the room bright and eery making it very difficult to sleep, compounded with short curtains which let in more light at dawn and very audible noises from the room next door and the kitchen appliances beneath. To be fair the pounding music did stop at around pm, but that did not matter in the end. The room décor was not so much ‘country inn’, more Home Bargains end of line sale, with cheap, rusty fittings that were a bit wobbly, cheap flooring that was an attempt to look like wood but was not even installed correctly and a failing mattress that had no support. In addition, breakfast was really poor. Served ham despite telling the staff I did not eat meat and wanted the veggie alternative (although to be fair even if I did eat meat, I wouldn't eat it). The second pass was barely edible. Access to the rooms from outside was also unsafe as a dodgy door lock was open every time I went downstairs, even late at night. I was exhausted the next day from lack of sleep and had no choice but to cut my stay short and cancel further plans I had. The staff said management would get back to me that day, she couldn’t help, offered no alternative but of course that was fobbing me off, as I heard nothing. I called a few days later to hear some other excuse.

Lovely position overlooking the small green, with horses and foals, stocks and central tree. Our room was over the bar and we could hear conversation until about 10.30. Breakfast was not available until 8.30 which delayed us but cooked meal was good. Clean and comfrtabke room.

Excellent stay great value for money.

Really comfortable rooms especially the bed. I travel a lot for work and this is one of the most comfortable beds I have found in a hotel. Nice location in the New Forest. Food was great although I did not get to try the breakfast as it did not start until 8.30 which is a bit too late for a business traveller.

Overnight stay

Lovely large room which was comfortable to be in, the bed bedding and pillows are comfortable and clean. The towels are of a good quality however the bathroom was disappointing. The white woodwork/panelling under the shower door was dirty and the skirting around the shower was dirty, disappointing that there was only an overhead shower and not a small hand shower for people that didn’t always wish to wash their hair. The pub downstairs although has a rustic image in my opinion was beyond rustic and pretty neglected in that the dining chairs could do with recovering or replacing most of the tables were okay but were possibly a bit tatty too.
