South lawn hotel was very dog friendly, the dog paddock was very safe and clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming, room was clean and spacious with plenty of storage space and a fridge was useful.
Restaurant was pleasant with great food and efficient staff .
I had a lovely room with access to patio, could just do with a good door mat outside for grassy muddy boots .

Sentimental reasons for visit, Mum had liked the place.
Squeaky floorboards, a bit higgledy piggledly re floor layout which I loved, all the staff lovely, I’m a waitress, and noticed lots of details at breakfast service which suggested generosity.
Can’t think of anything

The room was large with a comfortable bed. Sadly there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, I mentioned this on departure and hopefully it has now been sorted out.
I found the breakfast disappointing the scrambled eggs were obviously not cooked freshly as they resembled rubber.
Could do with a choice of herbal tea in room rather than just tea and coffee.
Please see above.

Well located and liked our room that opened straight out onto the gardens - ideal for our dog with easy access to the dog field. Shower/bathroom was particularly nice.

This hotel was so dog friendly! We bought our puppy here for his first night away and it was the perfect spot! We were nervous about how he would be with such new experiences like eating out and sleeping in a new place but staff were great with him, all saying hello and making sure he had a water bowl at the table. Rooms were spotless with so much storage space, plenty of tea and coffee in the room and nice big tv. We had a room with a patio so that it would be easy to take the puppy out and also made use of their enclosed dog paddock which is such a lovely facility to include! Ollie was very grateful for his little doggy gift bag!

Staff all really lovely and helpful.
Restaurant food was delicious.
This was our 2nd stay at this hotel, and we will be back again!
Nothing to not like!

This was our 3rd or 4th visit to South Lawn Hotel and as usual it was a very welcoming stay for our party. We all own dogs, and chose this hotel as our meeting point. Our dogs were welcomed with a goodie bag and in the restaurant we arrived with 4 large red setters , but were made absolutely welcome by attentive friendly staff.
The food is of a high standard and delicious.
In addition, there is a very good size dog exercise paddock behind the building.
Our rooms were delightful , large spacious, clean and great view of the surrounding fields of horses. Good size en suit. ( We appreciated the upgrade to the king-size rooms)
The hotel is in a great location for visiting the new forest, or beaches, ( steamer point is great for a beach walk ending with a coffee at Highcliffe castle tea room). We're already planning our next visit there !

The hotel is in a lovely location and is very clean.
They have a good lounge area. The reception staff were friendly. They have a disabled lift.
The room was disappointing and dark with one small window as opposed to the rooms shown on booking.com. There aren't enough disabled parking bays. The restaurant head waiters are slightly pretentious. My partner ordered a full English breakfast which was served straight away while he was getting some toast so obviously it was only luke warm when he ate it! The Sunday roast left a lot to be desired and was also only luke warm.

Very welcoming staff, our room was in the new part of the hotel, good size room and bathroom very clean and well appointed. Public areas around the hotel are very comfortable and outside space. Dinner and breakfast service was great, we were a large group but everyone was served at the same time.
Room was a little warm at night, but I did not realise I could unlock a catch in the window to open it further until the morning. So it probably would have been cooler.

Despite being far larger than I was expecting, the hotel was actually very quiet.
Car parking is not set out at all well and we were forced to walk the entire perimeter of the hotel due to the lack of signage indicating the reception and main entrance. All in the dark and after a 16 hour day.

The position was very good between Milford and Lymington. The room was very comfortable apart from being very warm for some reason. Breakfast was good.
It was very hot in the room

This hotel is like visiting old friends always made to feel welcome and comfortable.
All the team are polite, smiling and nothing appears too much.
The king-size rooms are very well furnished and having an iron and ironing board is so helpful. Always plenty of tea,coffee,sugar and milk in the room and proper sized mugs. If more milk needed, just ask. Fridge makes it easy to store cold drinks.
The restaurant is a great place to eat, with fresh good quality food for a fair price.
Beds soooo, comfy with good quality linen.
Bathrooms not only functional, but also very stylish.
Cannot recommend enough.
