Hi,
We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to going on a cruise from Southampton and being midlanders we wanted to do the lion share of the journey the day before departure so we choose this reasonably priced hotel. We had a family room which catered for 2 adults and 2 kids (11 & 9). Room ws fine. Clean and ample size. The kids beds are bunks tucked nearly in the corner.
We didnt wat in the hotel or book breakfast as we were checked out early the next morning but we did eat tea at the 2 minute walk Waterloo Inn (decent pub grub).
Upon our return from food we went in the pool. This is fine but there was nowhere for parents/guardians to sit and watch the kids should they not want to get wet. Seating innthe pool.area could be better. As could a repair job on the sauna and shower.
All in all though this was a pleasant night stay with friendly staff and convenient to Southampton docks (20 mins)..

room was a bit tatty . needed new tap and shower was very slow to work.
The hotel itself it’s nice and comfortable. Close enough to new forest show and lyndhurst is a great town.however I think we were placed in the smallest room and the hottest room. I know it was a hot few days but the fans provided were old and not good enough and the room was just too hot. We didn’t sleep properly for 3 nights which is a shame. The bed was a very small
Double and one of us had to sleep
On the floor because it was just too small for 2 adults . I normally stay here a lot throughout the year but not sure if I will again.
Great place to stay and very friendly staff. We did have to wait to be allowed into rhe breakfast room even though we booked it, but not the biggest deal.
Hotel is nice but would say it was 4/5 star - rooms were nice and clean and had everything you needed! Pool was quiet but not that warm. Sauna was out of order.
Food was bland and service wasn't great. It's expensive for food and drink and not worth the price - we also didn't realise gratuity was automatically added and so paid over £20 in tip for a meal for 2 adults and 2 children (we are in the bar so wasn't table service).
Our key stopped working when we returned from food and it took over 30 minutes to find someone to rectify the issue which wasn't great with 2 small tired children.
Stayed for one night as a little stop over on way to Cornwall with our young Labrador. The hotel is really lovely and super dog friendly with welcome treats and a little pup pack of goodies in the room. The staff made such a fuss of Zoey dog. Really lovely people.
We took a 5 minute stroll into the village for a walk and dinner at a pub. The location is perfect.
Our room was on the first floor overlooking the bar terrace but there were no noise issues. Next morning I took advantage of the hotel pool for 30 mins which I had all to myself. Breakfast was delicious!
Massively understaffed. Waited 20 mins at front desk for because the person manning the bar was having to do everything. Kitchen closed at 8:30pm despite advertising 24h room service, presumably due to staff shortages again.
They need a maintenance person on staff to take care of damaged walls, broken extractor fans, dodgy lightbulbs etc. Lots of little issues that detract from an otherwise pleasant property.
Nothing not to like. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Michelle was really chatty and helpful. Great receptionist and bar tender 😆
Breakfast was excellent well cooked and tasty.
Pool was clean and enjoyed a lovely swim.
Would highly recommend this hotel
