The Paddle in the forest

A lovely little coffee shop, but it was fairly small inside, the tables nearest the front have seats pretty much on the windowsill. Lots of drink options but not as many for the very small kids (never confident they will finish anything we get them!) I think I paid about £20 for two adult drinks, two juices and a couple of slices of cake to share - not sure if that's good, I don't go to coffee shops enough to know the going rate! The cake was nice, a piece of caramel slice and a blueberry and lemon coconut cake. It was a nice stop to slow us down a bit whilst visiting the area.

A nice but small cafe in Brockenhurst, serving all manner of delicious treats. Although I only stopped by for a coffee (which was great) all of their cakes and sandwiches looked fantastic. The cafe gets busy very quickly and only has a handful of tables, but there’s a reason why they are so busy. The staff are friendly and efficient and I will certainly be back to sample some of the lunch items on the menu.

If you're ever in Brockenhurst, this charming little cafe on High Road is definitely worth a visit. With a few tables and chairs outside, it's perfect for enjoying a coffee on a sunny day, though there's also cozy seating inside if you prefer. The coffee here is fantastic—super strong and full of flavor, just the way I like it. They also serve a delightful breakfast menu and a selection of fresh pastries that pair perfectly with your drink. A lovely spot for a quick break or a relaxed morning!

A lively spot right in the middle of Lyndhurst high street; a very random find and I walked in simply because it was almost packed during lunch hours which is a good sign! And I wasn’t disappointed, great vibe inside mostly locals I guess, food options were simple but plenty and I tried my first Welsh/ Lyndhurst rarebit.. didn’t know what to expect so what I ate was good. Enjoyed a nice cuppa after alongside a lovely warm scone with clotted cream and strawberry preserve. Service was all right. Overall a very good experience.

A lovely little hot spot in the New Forest to stop off for refreshments. We had an Afternoon Cream Tea and it was all delicious; I've been to so many Cream Teas where you have no choices other than tea or coffee, so was pleasantly surprised to choose your own individual selection of sandwich fillings, scones with choice of jams and topping that off with a selection of traditional cakes. Lots of other lunch and light bite choices on the menu along with a specials board, too. There is plenty of seating inside and out with some ouside tables undercover for those mixed weather days. A tip if it's raining, take a brolly as the toilets are only accessible from the outside, though don't be put off by this as its literally only 30 paces.

Had a lovely lunch stop on a walk from Burley along the old railway line to Holmsley Tea Rooms and back. Arrived at 11:30 when the menu changed over from breakfast to lunch, but this didn't delay anything. Staff were friendly and attentive. We had a Savoury Cream Tea and Whitebait. Delicious!!

This appears to be very popular with walkers and cyclists. There is an indoor area with table service and a large outdoor area, with a counter to order from. The menu usn't huge but it had a nice variety of options. I was particularly keen to try the vegan cream tea which came with vegan whipped cream from a can rather than a clotted cream. All the food tasted good, and represented good value for money.

Lovely find. An old railway station opened as a tea room, in truth they serve a wide range of food and drinks. I went for soup of the day, my wife for a sandwich with two drinks bill was about £20. There was a really tempting array of cakes and pastries. The walls are covered with bits of history from the buildings past and the Southern railway. There are even a few souvenirs on sale. Service was spot on and cheerful.

I recently used KJP for a powerflush of my central heating system, and the results were outstanding. My radiators are now working perfectly, and my home heats up so much faster. Kyle’s expertise in powerflushing and heating maintenance is impressive, and the pricing was very fair. It’s hard to find dependable plumbers these days, but these guys really stand out for their professionalism and quality of work. I’ll definitely be using their plumbing services again in the future!

Found this gem of a tearoom with a pretty exterior whilst on a short stay, so decided to try the breakfast a few days later. We arrived just before non-hotel residents were permitted, but were made to feel very welcome. There's a pretty garden, and the interior has quite a few tables and we were told to choose our own and order at the desk. Menus were available on the table. Food and drink were beautifully presented, and service was fantastic. Dishes were hot and delicious, as were the drinks. Would definitely recommend..There is also a lunch and afternoon tea menu available.

Visited this lovely tea room today with family and we were all very happy with the food, the service and drinks. We had afternoon tea and it was plentiful and delicious. Tasty scones, the sandwiches were freshly made and a scrumptious selection of cakes and puddings. And all presented in a very beautiful way. Really good value! I saw other people having ploughman's and other treats and it all looked amazing. The service was great too. The two waitresses were both very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this place and we will be back next time we are in the New Forest. (They also cater for vegetarians and I had lovely alternatives in my sandwiches.)

What a find! We had a scrumptious cheese sourdough toastie with apple and honey chutney and home-made coleslaw. Followed by cream teas. Home made fruit scones were delicious. Staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely outdoor space in the gardens, too. I think my picture says it all !! Fabulous!

Really lovely and relaxing stay. Very attentive staff, perfect location for hiking and lots of restaurants/ pubs near by. The room was very good value for money and like the touches of the radio playing when you came in, the Dyson hairdryer and a scenic breakfast. Will definitely stay again.

Hotel is facing the forest perfect location. Room spacious and very clean with lovely touches for guests. Food excellent. Most of all the excellent staff team I encountered during my stay. They are all a real credit to the hotel especially the lady who got my breakfast as I had my dog with me amazing. She was also the lady who made my booking and was fantastic. All the bar staff working on NYE thank you all you’ve made a difference to my stay !

We stayed for two nights over new year and can honestly say that I have never stayed at such a friendly hotel. The staff are simply superb and can't do enough. It is so nice to be surrounded by people who genuinely seem to enjoy their work. The rooms are large and very comfortable, the only reason for dropping a star on rooms was that the shower was very basic but there was a big bath which was nice. Location is excellent, walking distance to the village and can walk straight out over the heath towards Oberwater and Rhinefield. Ponies are strolling along the road outside the hotel. We had dinner both nights and the food was very good. Being December, we didn't use the garden but it is south facing and we will be going back in the summer to have a G&T on the numerous garden tables and chairs.

This is a real gem of a hotel. We have just returned from a three night stay with our elderly spaniel and cannot fault the hotel in terms of service, location, room, or suitability for dogs. Initially, we were not due to have dinner on all three nights, but given the delicious fare and great service from the team (special mentions for the delightful Sergio and Veronica - thank you both), we ended up eating in the restaurant every evening. Indeed, it is the service that probably sets this hotel apart from its competitors, and the wonderful attention and care given to all visiting dogs. Thank you for a great stay and see you soon.

Overall fantastic experience! The food was amazing, loved how they focus on sustainability and locally sourced ingredients. I particularly loved the gardens and decor. The staff made us feel very special as celebrated our engagement. Thank you for everything, I could not recommend the Pig in the forest enough!

Great restaurant with food sourced from within 25 miles. Lots of wine available and also beer and cocktail menus. The staff are very attentive and service is excellent. It gets very busy and bookings are essential. The only drawback is the restaurant area gets very loud due to being in an old orangery, making it difficult to hear when it's busy with large groups. But there are quieter areas which could be requested.

Having booked to stay nearby we thought we would explore a different Pig, as our local one is in Coombe. We just wanted to let you know what exceptional and friendly service we received from Jack, our waiter. It really was refreshing to be served by someone who clearly enjoys his job so thank you very much. The restaurant is beautiful and we had a wonderful lunch, by far the best gnocchi we have ever had. It was so utterly delicious we ordered another one to share!

Delicious Thai food in Brockenhurst in the heart of the New Forest. Food was delicious and flavoursome and the staff very accommodating when we asked for “Asian” level spiciness in the dishes. The seabass dish was a particular highlight being sweet, spicy and sour with generous servings of fish. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming to us. I would definitely come again for another meal next time I’m in the New Forest!

Really good British pub! We attended on a Sunday afternoon for Sunday lunch. On arrival the staff were very attentive, making everything clear and easy. The lounge was full but they accommodated us in the bar or tent area. The food arrived in good time and was tasty + well presented. We had a dog and it was brilliant to see an abundance of well behaved dogs in the bar area. Overall a friendly environment to enjoy some food / sport & a beer or 2.

I wasn't convinced about this pub because of the UPVC door entrance and slightly outdated appearance but is was so wrong! The bar staff were so lovely and friendly and the food was awesome. Properly homemade, very generous portions and super tasty. Would TOTALLY recommend! And great value too.

We stayed early Jan 2025 for a night away for my birthday and our anniversary and it was a wonderful treat. Suzie on reception was fantastic, so helpful and polite and moved things around so we could check in early. We had lunch in the lounge with the fire while we waited, would recommend. The spa staff were also fabulous, Pan my masseuse gave the best massage I’ve ever had! Only point of feedback would be that breakfast could do with including some cooked items in the price, eg. eggs. Overall wonderful stay, always love coming to Carey’s manor.

Beautiful place. Walked from the station no problem, fairly nice walk but a deceptively busy road. Our room was lovely. I just found it a little dated. Understand you can’t just rip out a bathroom but the bedroom could be updated - dark, polished wood is just so dated. Service was lovely. The lady who checked us in was delightful, can’t fault, as was the lady who checked us out. Just wonderful. The lady on the spa desk was a little odd/difficult to read, less wonderfully helpful and delightful. But got the job done, I’m just being picky because elsewhere was exceptional. All around, loved our stay and will be back next year!

We’ve just returned from an amazing long weekend at Careys Manor Hotel and SenSpa, and it was exactly what we needed! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The award-winning treatments at SenSpa were absolutely incredible, and the spa itself is easily the best we’ve ever experienced. We’ll definitely be coming back! The only small downside was the price of access to the hydrotherapy facilities, which felt a bit steep—hopefully, that might be adjusted in the future. Overall, a fantastic stay, and we can’t wait to return!

I spent 6 days at Careys Manor Hotel and could not have been better looked after by the lovely staff. Everyone was warm and approachable. The Hotel is lovely and the open fire and log burner were very welcome to lift the February gloom. I enjoyed the leisure facilities and Sen Spa. Breakfast was vey good and the dining room is beautiful. I would be very happy to stay here again.
