Just okay. Decor is starting to look tired throughout, although it was clean. What there was of breakfast was very good, but it was simply a one plate cooked breakfast and tea - nothing else. Staff were excellent but overall it didn’t feel great value even considering it’s New Forest.

Excellent stay & exceptional staff.

Excellent stay - the location is great and a nice walk to the town centre & Quayside as well as an easy drive through the New Forest - the room was lovely & spacious & the bed extremely comfortable! The shower was one of the best hotel showers I have used! The food was excellent especially the breakfast - and finally the staff, they were brilliant!!!!!! At times the pub was very busy yet the staff were always kind & cheerful & the service they gave was exceptional - I would highly recommend staying here!!!
