A gem in the New Forest
We stayed one night. It was fabulous. We were greeted by Reception staff with hellos and smiles. We had afternoon drinks in the garden, lovely meal in the evening in the restaurant. Lovely ambience. Had a nightcap in the lounge and off to bed. The rooms are really nice and spacious. Breakfast was amazing. I can recommend eggs benedict! We will return for sure.
Sorry it was a bit disappointing for what it cost.
Not much of a welcoming, both ladies had their head in paperwork when we arrived so we had to wait for them to finish before they spoke to us. Think you need to warn people staying that their are stairs to get to the first floor bedrooms in case they have mobility problems. Bedroom was lovely and big but very tired looking. Very noisy all night with surprisingly lots of traffic. (We thought it would be quiet at night in that location).
Restaurant limited on choice as some things were not available that were on the limited menu. The 2 young staff members in the restaurant and bar were run ragged trying to help everyone. They did their best to please customers. At least 1 more staff member needed in the bar/dining area.
All in all a lovely location (apart from traffic noise at night) but did not feel it was good value for the money.
