Good value for money. Accommodation rooms were bright and comfortable. Food was excellent and staff were friendly and very helpful. Location within the New Forest was great. Very welcoming of dogs and staff are all dog friendly.
Bar area and bar eating area very dark and dingy. Trying to read the menu was a bit of a challenge. The accommodation rooms were a little small but nonetheless represented excellent value for money. Parking was a bit limited.

Breakfast was excellent.
Room was much higher quality than expected. Craft ale was superb although a little pricey.
Food and drink were on the expensive side but excellent quality.

This was the perfect place for us to explore the New Forest. We were a large group & the staff were pretty amazing at accommodating all our needs - particularly with our 60th birthday celebration dinner that we had. The rooms were all very comfortable & spacious. We had a wonderful weekend.

We booked a last minute one night stay for a change of scenery before starting back to work in the New Year. Very welcoming, traditional pub was cosy and lovely to sit and eat in and food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were attentive and relaxed making people feel at home and the breakfast was great! Dog friendly so that was a big reason as near very nice walks in the heart of the New Forest. Will definitely go back and recommend to others.

Very nice and friendly little pub with amazing surroundings !
Was a little under staffed in the morning had to wait about 30 mins to get breakfast and was only one guy run off his feet working to keep everyone happy was to much for one persons and everyone was waiting he was very good and very polite but clearly you need more staff he was managing serving taking orders cleaning away plates doing bar drinks was people waiting to order be seated get drinks ask questions he could not do it all and was clearly struggling .
But our stay was great !

Very historical and cosy atmosphere.
Maybe limited car parking but not really a criticism as it has little parking space that can’t be helped.

It was a lovely place to stay. Beautiful situated in the forest near Lyndhurst. The staff were really helpful & friendly & made us feel very welcome.
We knew our room would be on the 1st floor but hadn’t appreciated just how steep the stairs were. I have limited mobility. The road outside gets very congested.
5.0 / 10.0
On a positive note the food is excellent and I would recommend eating here.
The noisiest hotel room we have EVER stayed in, room was very small but clean.
The issue was it was above the cleaning section of the kitchen where they washed everything in metal sinks it was like having cymbals in the bedroom. We did complain but they didn't care - in fact started singing!!! Making the situation worse

The location is excellent right in the middle of the New Forest with great easy walks straight out of the front door. The room was very well appointed and extremely clean. The en-suite was equally clean and very modern. The bar is a friendly and welcoming area, although I didn't get to have an evening meal, the breakfast was delicious and sets you up for the day.
Something that will be very difficult to rectify is the lack of parking available. But having seen the lack of land around the pub to work with, they are making the best of a tight situation.

The breakfast service was very good however the quality of the food was poor. Brekky muffin burnt & rubbery & bacon very overcooked
The forest inn staff were wonderful but the Inn needs refurbishment. It felt unclean and shabby.Definitely not what it looked like in the photos

The location is fantastic and the pub is great. We had Sunday roast and breakfast both of which were very good (although I thought the roast was a bit pricey) The staff were exceptional. Very dog friendly.
The room was very small, (maybe we had the bargain little one) and directly over the kitchen with a lot of noise in the evening and staff smoking under our window (which we had to keep closed). The bed wasn't uncomfortable but lacked support and gave me back ache. We had a fabulous breakfast but hated the inescapable pop music at that time of day - who in their right mind listens to Tina Turner at 8.30 am (or any other time for that matter!!) when asked they did turn it down but it then was just an annoyance.

Given there is limited choice of accommodation in the area the hotel is very attractive in keeping it's period features and we felt it provided good value for money. We ate a meal in the beer garden and we adjudged it as being very well presented of a high standard and better quality than expected
Location is good with many local attractions near by and the coast a mere 20 minute drive.
Nothing comes to mind

The breakfast was great and so were the staff. The evening meals were good. We enjoyed seeing the ponies but not so much what they left behind.
The shower was so tiny we could hardly move around in it and there was no place to put soap or shampoo. The bedroom was small without any space to put stuff.
