We held a leadership meeting here, it was a great venue with a superb meeting room and well stocked drinks etc. the afternoon cake was amazing.
The food exceeded my expectations. The three course dinner was excellent as well as the breakfast. Lovely deck to sit out on too.
The room could do with a little updating but we’re very clean and came with lots of tea and coffee as well as the option of fresh milk.
The main hotel staff and the room cleaner were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Ideal location 5 mins in to Lyndhurst, nice walks in the Forrest directly from the hotel.

The stay was enjoyable. Room was nice and the pool area is decent. The breakfast was really special. The staff are generally really helpful. The hotel is very cosy and I liked the old English house vibe and fire place in the lobby

Afternoon tea
Absolutely not worth the money, rubbish service, walked into an empty room nobody at the front desk, also the same for a couple that came shortly after us, they were waiting around for someone to turn up. the guy did not know what he was serving us, what teas they had - I had to look it up on my phone!!! I called beforehand to confirm what the sandwich fillings would be, and we got served something completely different. Way too much sweet stuff and not nearly enough savoury. Atmosphere was dead, so quiet no music, felt normal volume of talking was too loud. Annoyed that they ruined what was supposed to be a birthday treat for a friend.

Delicious afternoon tea with plenty of lovely fresh choices all served by a friendly waitress in gorgeous surroundings. We couldn't eat all that had been served to us and were delighted when we were offered boxes to take the remainder home. Thank you, we'll be back.

We had a 3 night stay at this hotel. It was not our first choice, the first hotel we booked through secret escape which was appalling. We stayed in the honeymoon suit which was not a suit, the room was in disrepair, holes and cracks in the walls. Mould on the bathroom curtain and tiles. Dust everywhere, thick dust on the ceiling, lamp shade and bed. Definitely not four-star accommodation. Breakfast was ok, staff was ok but overall very disappointing, would not stay again.

Went here for a wedding it's a lovely little venue. Immaculately clean and the food was very nice. Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay however according to fri nds who did they were very nice as well.

We had an afternoon tea. It was quiet in the dining room and staff were friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea was lovely; the savoury food was delicious; the deserts were fine - the small bakewell was a little dry and the lemon posset wasn’t very lemon-y. But it was a gorgeous setting and a lovely couple of hours out of the house!

We were looking for a hotel to stay at on Boxing Day leaving the Isle of Wight en route to Bournemouth Airport and not wanting any delays as it was the Xmas period. The hotel was very accommodating as they were offering a Xmas package and we only wanted one night. We arrived late afternoon and were impressed with the wonderful Georgian building all beautifully lit up. At the entrance we were given a warm welcome by Alex who showed us to the check in desk and then took us through to an elegant room where afternoon tea had been prepared on a long table and was set up with a selection of drinks, warm scones (with and without sultanas) , clotted cream and jam. A most impressive Xmas cake took pride of place and was beautifully moist with traditional royal icing made by the resident lady pastry chef. . After checking into our rooms we went to the indoor swimming pool. The pool room was lovely and warm and so was the water. Lovely and refreshing after our journey.
The evening. meal was served in the beautifully decorated restaurant . We all ordered different meals cooked by their Italian chef Antimony. The food was superb and so was our breakfast . A very good all round choice on the two menus.
The hotel has 10 bedrooms but only oneroom has a walk in shower. It contained twin single beds. My only criticism is that the beds were too narrow and only suitable for children. Also the mattress was unyielding.
My biggest regret was not taking a slice of the delicious Xmas cake with me on my journey!!
