An 18th Century pub, loads of character and staff were very friendly. Parking is a problem at the pub, however there is parking on the road which is well utilised. Breakfast was included, plenty of choice and a huge full English if you are doing a long walk! We stayed in the superior room which looked like it was newly refurbished and spacious.

Had a great, restful, couple of days at the New Forest Inn. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great side of traditional character. The food and drinks are great and they have a good range of vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. The deserts are a definite highlight! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We will be back in the future.

Our room was situated on the upper floor, there’s a side entrance to the rooms right next to the pub restaurant. The room was lovely and cosy, towels were neatly rolled and placed on the bed for guests to use. Shampoo and shower gel were all provided. Breakfast was also included in our stay as well. The New Forest Inn all day breakfast was fantastic!!! Very big portions, everything comes in double. Dinner at the restaurant was also delicious! Must try out their lamb dishes. We had a pleasant stay at the New Forest Inn and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for accommodations in the area.
