Overall, this was a nice place to stay. I had Room 10 and unfortunately there was something dripping outside the window the whole time though, which woke me up a few times in the night. The room decor could do with an update/redecoration. The bathroom too. But it was ok for what I needed. It would have been nice to see a Bar Menu out somewhere to know what food was available. Any staff I encountered were great. Thank you!

I like the friendly, helpful staff, the ambience, and the location which is quiet but very close to the centre of Lyndhurst. I've now been three times and intend to go again. It would be good if they added a cheaper continental breakfast as well as the full breakfast menu.

Dissapointing

Disappointing. My expectations were higher based on the scores. They only could serve pizza at dinner, so not a restaurant. And they failed to tell me there was a pub 100m away that served food. Walls were thinnsh, i had noisy neighbours and had to get reception to ask them to be quiet. Adjacent plumbing noises also went right though the room. Staff friendly and place was clean, and the room was comfortable.

Very pleasant, and peaceful. Could do with a little tlc to the public flooring areas and a few more staff on hand to help those who seem to be having to multi-task across all areas, and to alleviate queuing at busy check-in/check-out times …but all very pleasant.

A refreshing change

What a refreshing change. Wonderful, helpful, welcoming staff. It was such a pleasure to stay here and we would definitely go back! Some more lighting out on the patio would be good but just a small Observation, it didn’t impact our stay.

The hotel is in a convenient location, within easy walking distance to the village centre. Excellent pool (but the changing rooms could have been checked a bit more often, as the shampoo/body wash dispenser was empty, and there were some tissues on the floor). Very friendly and helpful staff. Liked the option of asking for fresh milk for our room. Good breakfast, with an excellent continental buffet available and hot meal options cooked to order.

Lovely stay. Will book again.

Stayed for one night as a little stop over on way to Cornwall with our young Labrador. The hotel is really lovely and super dog friendly with welcome treats and a little pup pack of goodies in the room. The staff made such a fuss of Zoey dog. Really lovely people. We took a 5 minute stroll into the village for a walk and dinner at a pub. The location is perfect. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the bar terrace but there were no noise issues. Next morning I took advantage of the hotel pool for 30 mins which I had all to myself. Breakfast was delicious!

Hotel was good, although the ladder to the bunk bed was loose and the kids were somewhat nervous about it, and the extractor fan did not work in the shower. Breakfast was lovely, but our main meal however was poor. With the dinner not matching the description on the menu and generally not of good enough standard for the price.

Massively understaffed. Waited 20 mins at front desk for because the person manning the bar was having to do everything. Kitchen closed at 8:30pm despite advertising 24h room service, presumably due to staff shortages again. They need a maintenance person on staff to take care of damaged walls, broken extractor fans, dodgy lightbulbs etc. Lots of little issues that detract from an otherwise pleasant property.

GOOD AND BAD

Stayed here for four nights, disappointed with our room, it was classed as a snug, they weren't kidding you couldn't swing a cat in the bathroom. Also we had no hot water despite complaining about it. We ended up having a hot shower in the dressing room by the swimming pool. The first night we was there we had an evening meal in the dining room, service and food was excellent. We had breakfast in the hotel every morning again the food was excellent the service was 2nd to none. It's a pity they couldn't get their hot water sorted out. I'm not sure if I would ever recommend this hotel to anybody.

Hi, We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to going on a cruise from Southampton and being midlanders we wanted to do the lion share of the journey the day before departure so we choose this reasonably priced hotel. We had a family room which catered for 2 adults and 2 kids (11 & 9). Room ws fine. Clean and ample size. The kids beds are bunks tucked nearly in the corner. We didnt wat in the hotel or book breakfast as we were checked out early the next morning but we did eat tea at the 2 minute walk Waterloo Inn (decent pub grub). Upon our return from food we went in the pool. This is fine but there was nowhere for parents/guardians to sit and watch the kids should they not want to get wet. Seating innthe pool.area could be better. As could a repair job on the sauna and shower. All in all though this was a pleasant night stay with friendly staff and convenient to Southampton docks (20 mins)..

Unfortunately, another property of this company in dire need of upgrade / tlc. Extensive peeling paint in bathrooms, worn carpeting. Door locks that failed every day (magnetic cards). Modernizing and general maintenance/ upkeep recommended. Comfortable rooms though and nice pool. Didn’t make up for the overall experience. They could do so much more at their properties if they tried. And no flexibility on check in - despite room being ready, there wasn’t the staff to check them. So rigid 3pm check in regardless. A negative in customer service. Will look elsewhere, smaller boutique hotels on my next visit.

I booked this hotel expecting 4-star standards, but the experience was very disappointing. There was no housekeeping throughout my stay - the room was not cleaned, the bins were not emptied, and towels were not replaced. For accommodation advertised as 4*, this is simply unacceptable. Basic facilities were also lacking: the shower had very poor water pressure, and the water was never properly hot, only lukewarm at best. These are essentials you’d expect at any decent accommodation, let alone one rated four stars. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone expecting genuine 4-star comfort and service.

Always a relaxing stay

Good except the key cards were a bit of a pain and the bar staff although very nice needed to be better trained. Shower in my second room (12) was very weak and not always very hot.
