Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings
Fantastic staff, great location, and a really good breakfast! Only downside was the noise from other rooms and the lack of air con.
Perfect location for a staycation near the New Forest! The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were fantastically helpful and friendly, especially during a busy bank holiday weekend.
A good stay, really friendly staff! Breakfast was good, though the eggs could've been better. The bed was huge and comfy!
Decent value for money, but the restaurant let it down. We had to search for another place to eat because of a two-hour wait!
Had a great time! The breakfast was amazing, my room was spacious and comfy, and the staff were all so lovely and helpful. Parking was easy too.
