Nice…. But avoid rooms facing the road!
Pleasant hotel. Looks a bit tired on the outside but fine inside. Sadly, we had two rooms facing the main road that meant our sleep was disturbed. Being hot, it meant that we had to have windows open. The rooms were clean, spacious and modern. Staff friendly. Nice breakfast.

Neil

Disliked: Staff & service
We had a very small and basic room at the front of the hotel overlooking the main road and the road noise was horrendous.Due to the Agricultural show down the road it was busier than normal and we were awoken very early by the noise.Unfortunately as it was the hottest day of the year we had to have all the windows open just so we could breathe. The TV didn’t work and the Wi-fi was useless(the Management admitted that it was very hit and miss) - well why not do something about it!! The toilet roll holder was broken and the towel hook on the back of the door was just hanging on by one screw. This is definitely one hotel we will never use again and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Mixed stay - very little sleep but good breakfast
Mixed feelings about this stay. Positives: the hotel has good parking, we’re very accommodating of my late arrival, is nicely presented, my room was well appointed, breakfast was very good quality and a nice selection and very nice to offer 4 time slots to choose for your convenience. Negatives: my room was facing the main road which was busy throughout the nice and disturbing despite ear plugs - needs triple glazing installed, room was hot but couldn’t open windows as would have made the road noise even worse, all rooms have Yale locks which leads to other guests slamming their doors shut so no chance to sleep in, room needed blackout curtains. Overall a very poor night without sleep, but breakfast was very nice and all staff friendly and helpful.

Easy to access, room was lovely and clean although it was at the front of the hotel and the double glazing didn't seem to work at all as we could hear every car go past. Breakfast was fresh and hot and the staff were very attentive.

Lovely Lyndhurst
Hotel was perfectly situated for days out in the New Forest, 20 min drive to the sea, (Highcliff) and Beauieu Motor Museum, large room and Breakfast excellent. The village of Lyndhurst had excellent amenities and would recommend Dolce Vita for dinner, lovely true Italian restaurant , food excellent and price good value. The chippy was good too - will come back to the hotel and Lyndhurst we had a lovely break.

The location was good for my visit to Lyndhurst. Room was small (nothing like the one in the picture) and overlooked a very busy main road. Ask for a room facing the carpark as the traffic noise went on untillate and started again very early. Breakfast was very good

We’ve stayed at The Penny Farthing before. The place is basic, very clean and welcoming. It is ideally situated for walking into Lyndhurst & travelling to other parts of The New Forest. All staff we’ve met during both stays have been welcoming and friendly.
