Fabulous hotel set in the wonderful village of Lyndhurst. Rooms are comfortable and very warm which, during hot summer evenings, isn't so great. No air-conditioning as it is a very old building so windows will need to be wide open. Unfortunately, it's a noisy hotel with people returning late into the night and, with thin walls and floors, every stomp and chat is heard.
Dinner was very nice here as was breakfast and the staff are very attentive (Otto, Charlie and Lucy). Lots of parking spaces to be had but lots to walk to including the New Forest, which is along the road, with New Forest ponies to greet you. Also, the hotel is opposite a church where Alice Liddel (Mrs Reginald Hargreaves) is buried -- she is the Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
Lyndhurst has many tea rooms, restaurants, cafes and shops to wander round.
Besides the very noisy environment, the hotel is lovely and warrants a visit.

Why did I stay in the over priced Airbnb but not here?
Very friendly staff made me happy. We visited the beach to watch sunset thanks to the recommendation from the reception.
The restaurant is probably the best in the area, some special dishes I’ve never had in other places like the lamb rump seasoned with cumin.
The breakfast also had some of the best hash brown.

Simply perfect. We stayed for a long weekend. It's in a great location, the grounds & building are stunning and the staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. Special mention to Lucy. She's so good at her job and it felt like seeing an old friend every time I saw her. I would 100% stay here again!

Had a wonderful stay at The Crown Manor House, we were a family of four and stayed in the suite which was very spacious, clean and well looked after. Food in the restaurant was delicious with a fantastic kids menu, we had a lovely waitress called Charlie who looked after us. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend.

A very nice hotel directly on the high street, with good parking and great access to the village high street. The bar is well stocked, and the restaurant has an excellent menu. The rooms are well equipped being restocked daily with tea, coffee and biscuits. I have only given 4 stars for the service because we were refused access to the dining room one evening, with the excuse that the kitchen only cooks for the tables booked. With the number of items on the menu this seemed like a brush off. As this trip was for our wedding anniversary and this was our day we felt quite perturbed by the reaction of the maitre'd. This meant we had to find an alternative place to eat at short notice.

Stayed here two nights during October half term. It's a beautiful historic hotel right at the top of Lyndhurst high street. There is plenty of car parking for guests at the rear of the hotel. Our rooms, classic and snug, were well presented and comfortable with nice bathrooms. A buffet breakfast was included with a selection of continental pastries, cold meats, fruit, cereals and traditional full English fare. Quality was good. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. Just one slight negative to be aware of is that the rooms facing the high street can be noisy due to the traffic (it starts early) and the enthusiastic occasional bell ringing from St. Michael's church directly across the road. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay.🙂

Excellent food, it's fine dining so portions are not huge but a good size. The service is good with lots of staff from the hotel available. The restaurant itself is classy, set on the ground floor of the hotel so you can see the church opposite. The building is historic, and the restaurant is well decorated with the Gothic architecture visible but the interior is decorated in modern style. Good for a romantic dinner, and I would recommend

A delightful stay at the Crown Hotel in the heart of the New Forest. Extremely welcoming and the staff were always very polite and helpful. Dinner on arrival was excellent, breakfast was also just what we needed before our day exploring the New Forest and its surrounds. Perfect location with the town outside your front door with many other places to eat and see. We will definetely be back and unreservedly recommend a visit. Thanks again.
