This was one of the best places we stayed on our one month tour around Europe. Great rooms and the staff were amazing. Thank you to all that were involved with our stay from the front desk to the chef, excellent quality food and great value. Such a friendly place, highly recommended.

We booked a room with a hot tub for our little mini moon. What a little gem. The garden is a beautiful little sun trap to sit in the evening, breakfast was lovely. Everything was included that you will need for your stay. The robes and slippers were a lovely touch. We intend to book again for our anniversary next year.

Such beautiful food and amazing service. Velvet was our principle server, and she was so attentive, so helpful, that it made an already outstanding dining experience next-level perfect. We may live 150 miles from here, but this just may become our new local. If you are on holiday reading this, then book that table, you won't regret it.

We always stop here on our way back from the seaside for chicken burger and ribs. Amazing !

Burger was nice but nothing overly special. Probably wouldn't order it again. The beef was quite dense and dry and the pretzel bun was also quite dry. The french fries and onion rings were lovely though. We had passion fruit pavlova for dessert and it was gorgeous. Nice and fresh and full of flavour. Would definitely order again. Service was absolutely fantastic, all members of staff were really great. Would like to come again and try other bits from the menu.

We called in to get something hearty to warm us up. I opted for a South African dish, which I had never heard of - Bobotie. Lamb mince with almonds. It was delish. The Malbec wine 🍷 accompanied the meal perfectly 👌 Would recommend.

This was the first time we have been to this pub, we stopped on our way back from Bournemouth to Salisbury and have to say we were very impressed. The bar area is lovely and welcoming and we were greeted by a member of staff who asked if we were eating or just having a drink. We stated we wanted to eat and were shown to a lovely table and whilst chatting ordered our drinks straight away which arrived within minutes. The food was incredible and the size of the plates enormous, I had gammon, egg and chips which I would highly recommend and my wife had a rack of ribs which came with chips and a salad, she couldn't manage it all as the portions were so big, everything was cooked to perfection and I cannot recommend this place enough. We will be revisiting with family and huge thanks to the staff for a very pleasant visit.

Beautifully done hotel. All the little details around railway station and trains are well thought out and brilliantly executed for everyone to appreciate whether you're into trains or not. The room was lovely, with a rain shower wet room and nicely done. Restaurant was like a train carriage and food was very reasonably priced for evening meal and breakfast was included with room, all delicious. With only 5 rooms in the hotel, you get a great service, all staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. It's only a 18 minute walk into Fordingbridge town centre and great base for exploring this part of the new forest. We will definitely be staying again.

We went to the hotel for their Hungarian night. We were presented with 7 taster courses accompanied by wine. The food was delicious and the wine was amazing and very well paired. For a very reasonable price. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The room we stayed in was the Bournemouth Belle. It was spotless and really comfortable. We had breakfast the following day which was superb. We will be back!

I have cooked breakfast most times I come here. Every time it's cooked perfectly for me. even the eggs are always good and never hard. My family often try different things, but it's always consistently good. Well worth a visit if you're passing by!

Wow, what an absolute gem! Gorgeous interior with old beams. Fantastic coffee. Breakfast was amazing. They took some of my bacon back for extra crisping without making me feel awekward in any way for asking. Just the nicest staff and atmosphere. The breakfast punched way above it's price tag. Sausages weren't to my taste, bit too bready. I'm a fussy one tho, so that's probably on me. Definitely will come again.

Here’s a review based on your visit: --- **Review:** We visited the restaurant for breakfast on Saturday, 6th July 2024. We were greeted in a friendly manner, and the vegan choice for my wife was explained as a real vegetable sausage, which she enjoyed. My breakfast was equally enjoyable. We were also allowed to charge our phones, which was very convenient. Thank and bless you, the team at The Bridge.

So we popped to Fordingbridge to have an afternoon tea with my Mum, Wife and Dad on Mothers Day. Firstly the price was great £12.95 per person. Secondly the food was delicious, everything homemade and so fresh. I’ve paid an awful lot more for not homemade fresh food. Anyway back to the food - there was plenty to go round and all was delicious with a real good mix. Thirdly the setting was wonderful a lovely grade 2 listed building tastefully decorated right on the high street. The staff were so attentive and friendly and just the whole experience was perfect for my mum. I highly recommend Bridges for quality homemade food, great staff and a great atmosphere.

We wanted a little drive out, so we decided to go to this garden centre from Poole ( about 25 miles ) as we wanted somewhere we could also take the dog, when we got thier the staff was very kind and friendly as it was late afternoon about 3pm we decided on a late lunch/ dinner so I had the ham egg and chips and the other person with me only had a coronation chicken sandwich and she wanted room for Dorset apple cake unfortunately when she checked they had sold out but wasn't surprised as I like I said it was late afternoon, so she decided she would have a scone with cream and jam and I must say the food was delicious and all responsible priced, we both also had a coke We also visited the pet shop within the ground it's small but very compact and has most things. you would need for your pets . The dog got a few presents as it was his birthday and had a doggy ice cream. We didn't really have time to have a good look round the garden centre but we did have a look at a few prices on things that were around us like hanging baskets and they were very full at only £24.99 to me that seamed cheap so next time we need some flowers etc we be going to go back here again. Overall the staff were very friendly the cost was responsible and we even had people that lived thier talking to us so a very pleasant afternoon and we'll worth a drive out if you want somewhere different We will definitely be back

Have loved this place for years, even better now they've redone the toilets! Took my little boy here to see Santa Claus, amazing experience and the set up was lovely. Lunch afterwards in the cafe was as good as I remember it to be. Keep it the way it is please.

Excellent course you won't find a better golf course in this area for £26 unbelievable standard of greens and tees were top notch I've played many courses that charge 60 -100 that would be shamed against this course 100% RECOMMEND!

Played here today as a 4 ball.....course was lovely, been here plenty of times, but not for sometime! Greens really good, fairways had what looked like wild pig areas, where they had been dug up and damaged by the creatures. Given this is a municipal course it's brilliant, the workers do an amazing job. The negatives for me are the fact that other players, whether a member or a pay and play visitor there is absolutely no need to be so lazy to not repair your pitchmarks, or rake the bunker when you've hacked your 1st or 4th attempt out! They've left masses of rakes out there, it's literally a 4m walk to a rake use the thing and replace it. It really is not hard, COVID is no longer an excuse! Likewise divots, replace them....if you don't then I hope you find your drives in every one of them on day 2 when you're leading the first day of the club championship. Yes a rant, but in no way at the club or anyone who has the decency to tidy up after themselves.... It is for all those who think as it's a cheaper course they're entitled to hack it up and leave it to the staff to fix. Grow up and fix it yourself you lazy gits!

Great golf course set in lovely woodland surrounds with plenty of challenging greens. The greens, fairways and bunkers are well tended & manicured. The staff and members are welcoming and friendly. The clubhouse offers good value food & drink with seating inside and out. Buggies and other equipment can be hired.

The 5 hole pitch and putt is brilliant with kids. It is harder than it looks for non-golfers thou! They also have free table tennis tables (borrow t the bats and balls from the golf shop). 3 tables so easy to get a table.

Really happy with the service provided, professional, helpful, efficient and informative. Our initial phone query was dealt with very quickly, and the plumber who attended was able to identify and solve the problem. Thank you Jon for your patience in explaining both the problem, and solution you proposed to us. Would recommend.

I had a problem with my toilet in that the flush button on my cistern was no longer working and therefore the water continued to flow and I had no way of stopping it. The Sani Solutions service engineer quickly identified the problem and fitted a new flush valve and the job was completed in no time at all. I would certainly recommend Sani Solutions to other customers.

Ben from SanifSolutions was brilliant. With the problem I had when I was at home alone he was calming and patient talking to me on the phone giving me instructions what to do before he arrived. He was efficient, polite and understanding. The cistern was replaced and I can thoroughly recommend this company. The office member of staff was very efficient.

A good course with some long holes, especially when the wind blows and a few picturesque holes. The greens were tricky with a variety of subtle and not so subtle breaks. It was very dry given the amount of rain there had been prior to the round. I'd like to play it again in the Summer.

Cannot praise this course high enough played on the last two days (November 2024) the fairways were good & the greens were excellent, the course is well set up & well maintained, some lovely features with Centenary Walk & the 1921 Club House. Excellent. The clubhouse was welcoming & Mark the pro was very helpful.

Loved the course. Great condition. Wide fairways, excellent greens, stunning views despite a heavily overcast and damp day. Clubhouse welcoming. I would love to be a member if I lived out that way. You will not be disappointed. There were no photos as the weather was unfortunately very poor today.

The club is in a beautiful location with far reaching views and was a perfect venue for a celebration of our mother's life. The airy function room easily accommodated our 40 or so guests, the buffet was varied and plentiful and the bar well stocked. All staff were very professional , efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Review of the pub & food rather than the accommodation as we didn't stay there. Can't praise the staff here highly enough, they are all very friendly, extremely helpful, and understand all there is to in regards to customer service. The food quality is excellent. Very fresh, good portions, and an excellent choice - the "standard" menu alone would be more than ample, but then there is a specials board with some great "alternative" cuisines, when we were there, American and Polish dishes were also available. Shame we couldn't try more of them - the chef knows what he is doing. I had the steak & kidney pudding, which seems to be harder and harder to get these days - it was a great size and tasted amazing. If I could look for any improvement anywhere, it would be to offer more dessert choices, but really, those they have are great. Summary: Amazing staff, great food, great service.

Ferndown Forest Golf Course & Toptracer Driving Range

Forest Links Rd, Ferndown BH22 9PH, UK

P: 01202 876096

Not given the course a go yet but have to give a major shoutout to the pro shop and fitting studio they have on site, came in after a few uncertainties about my clubs. Within a few shots the pro Steve who had been monitoring me very quickly picked up the issues I had with my setup and as he brought up, nothing was wrong in the selection I had both head and shaft wise but all it required to get me striking it much more consistently was to set them up 1* flat which instantly made a change in the flight path of the ball and clearly wasn’t trying to push to replace them like many places I’ve been to have. Also gave much comforting guidance without the typical route some people reading the text book as any golfer is not going to swing or setup the same. All this service including the club adjustments came to a very respectful price, highly recommend them if you’re around this area looking to be fitted or simply after some good advice on your golf game or equipment.

Absolutely stellar experience at this driving range! I've been a frequent visitor lately, and each time leaves me more impressed than the last. The Toptracer technology is great, enhancing the fun and improving my game with precise feedback. What's even better is the flexibility in payment—you pay per basket of balls, so there's no rush to finish. Also, during the week from 8am - 4pm there's no need to book, you only need turn up. Whether it's a post-lunch session or a pre-breakfast swing, this place accommodates perfectly. It has quickly become a top destination for me, and I'll definitely make it a point to swing by whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend to all golf enthusiasts! Review for yet another breakfast here... I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Full English Breakfast at The Forest Inn and wow—it was fantastic! As someone who loves a good fry-up, this one truly delivered and set me up perfectly for a great session on the driving range afterward. I went for the Full Dorset Breakfast, priced at £12, and it was worth every penny. It came with two New Forest bacon rashers, two butcher’s pork sausages, eggs cooked to perfection, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, Heinz baked beans, and delicious Bakehouse24 sourdough toast. Every element of the dish was cooked beautifully and tasted fresh, from the savoury sausages to the perfectly crisp bacon. To top it all off, I had a lovely latte alongside the breakfast. It was smooth, rich, and complemented the meal perfectly—just what I needed to kickstart the day. The portion size was generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. It was the perfect start to the day, filling me up with just the right amount of energy for my golf practice. I highly recommend The Forest Inn if you’re in the area, whether you’re a golfer or not. Their Full Dorset Breakfast is a must-try for anyone who appreciates a hearty and well-executed fry-up.
