We had a brilliant time here. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was huge and had loads of useful things like water in the fridge, a fan, iron and ironing board, air con. We ate dinner there which was lovely and very reasonable. Drinks in the bar whilst playing scrabble was a fun evening too! Breakfast was really good, lots of choice and very tasty. It was super dog friendly and we loved seeing the dogs getting their sausages in the morning! All the staff were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!

Only comment is more staff required for checking in purposes as other staff working really hard. We were acknowledged but had to wait quite a while also other customers waiting to pay their bills.

Great Stay Overall

We stayed in the Goldilocks room the room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed... The bed was clean, but we could feel a couple of springs when lying down. Breakfast first morning was a 6/10 the bread looked and tasted cheap. The bacon was streaky and fatty. Second morning the bread was better quality but bacon still streaky and fatty 7/10. There is lots to do in the local area including the New Forest and a short drive to sea.

Fantastic service, food and drink. Room was fabulous and well resourced. My only very slight issue was that breakfast did not start until 8am, in saying that the continental breakfast the night before for us was excellent.
