The rooms are comfortable but could use some updating, with amenities like a hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities. The service was friendly, especially from Emma the manager and the team.

Overall, a decent value for money stay with a few minor room issues to consider.
The hotel had a good location, close to the town center. The rooms were not well-maintained and had issues with cleanliness and size. The service was friendly but lacking in customer service training. The dining experience was average with limited options. The location was convenient for exploring the New Forest area.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room I was assigned was tired-looking, small, and smelly with a torn carpet that could be a trip hazard, but my parents got lucky with a spacious and well-equipped room for our family. The service from the staff was consistently friendly and helpful, making our interactions pleasant. The location was convenient for access to the village and other attractions, although the presence of scaffolding outside was a bit of a letdown. Dining options varied from disappointing to enjoyable, and the facilities were decent overall.
