We went there for a romantic weekend away, and what a delightful experience it was! The hotel is perfectly located in the center of Lyndhurst, easy reach to numerous walking trails that the New Forest offers. The hotel's interior was charming and the ambience was inviting with colour flowing seamlessly. The staff was warm and attentive. The new food menu was amazing. We tried seared scallops and duck croquette for starters; lamb shank and venison for mains. Absolutely delish. Highly recommended. Overall, top notch place to stay. We can't wait to be back.

Stayed here for two nights and - despite other reviews - had a fab stay. Superior room was spacious and had one of the most comfortable (and large) hotel beds I've been in for a while. Yes, the floors are wonky and you can hear other goings on around the hotel, but somehow it just works - the staff are genuinely helpful and friendly, the breakfast was very solid, and it's got character. It's not trying to be something it's not, and it works. Good car parking to rear and right in the heart of Lyndhurst. Didn't eat here in the evening but would definitely come back.

We just had a fab stay here. Lyndhurst is a lovely little town and the hotel is right on the high street. Our room was warm, comfy, quiet and spacious. The various areas for eating and having a drink were really comfy and inviting. Staff were really welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was brilliant, a big range to choose from and all good quality. Would definitely stay again, it was perfect to get away for the night and did the trick of having us feeling well rested.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights for a New Year break before returning to the daily grind. We were met at reception by Andrew Moody who was extremely welcoming. Our room was a haven for 48 hours. The breakfast was well presented and very tasty. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you to all the team, including the oft-overlooked housekeeping team who clearly take pride in their work. We hope to be back!
