Great location to explore the New Forrest and the Dorset Coast.
Easy acess to the M27 and M3 back to London.
Makes the return journey easier (until.you hit the M25 of course!)

Lovely old-style hotel with easy access to Beaulieu (20min). Helpful staff. Lovely room with view over the parking lot to keep an eye on my classic car.
Convenient bar/restaurant, but with bland, forgettable food.

Room was clean, we were in room 8 which overlooks a courtyard and the light in the courtyard is very bright and stays on all day and night, the curtains are good but there is light all around them like it is morning outside.
Breakfast was very good and morning service very friendly.

Will be great when renovations are complete
Great deal in last minute booking, although double could not be provided only twin room. Food and staff were great. Room tired but renovations taking place. Main problem was how cold the place was - both the room and lounge were freezing.

Great position for exploring Paultons theme park & the New Forest. Our children & grandchildren stayed in Paultons campsite which was a few minutes away so really handy. They all visited the hotel for a couple of meals & drinks. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming.

When arrived and give room 14, nice size room and clean. Went to bed not to late after nice meal in restaurant (little expensive) Then the troubles start, room above staff quarters- none stop walking around, shower, toilet being flushed and these noises from above. Finally fell asleep only to be woken up at 5:30am with same. Not a good sleep experience!!!
Mentioned it to Breakfast staff only to be told, yes staff room above room 14 and you are not the first to complain. NOTHING else done about it -
Was going to stay another night but decided not too!!

Nice stay
The room was comfortable and spacious but i could hear the phone conversation of the woman in the next room word for word. Noise from bar below but all was quiet during sleep time.
Had dinner here and it was good.

Loved it there, was so near and convenient for Paulton's Park, lovely food & service was good too.
Wish there was a fridge in the room & air con, was difficult in the heatwave.
A plus point would be to have a swing & slide for the children in the outdoor area.

Room was lovely and clean. Sink in the bathroom not ideal. Was very small.
The air conditioning unit was loud and was on until 1am in the morning and I was unable to sleep.
Vegan option for breakfast was good.
The staff were helpful and pleasant.
