Check in very smooth and lady at desk very happy and helpful, both rooms very clean and fit for purpose, room cleaned daily to a very good standard. Breakfast was plentiful and staff exceptional. All in all a lovely couple of days.
Will definitely return
Beautiful looking property with excellent gardens and view of the water
The actual rooms are mainly not in this building but adjacent in smaller purpose built rooms.
A very nice location in Lymington with fabulous views of the water

Enjoyable One Night Stay
Our room was really large and had a balcony which was great. We appreciated the coffee pod machine and the fan (it was a hot day when we stayed). The decor was somewhat old fashioned and the bathroom was in need of an upgrade.
Lovely hotel grounds with a fantastic view over the Solent. We enjoyed the outdoor pool.
Beautiful, old building set in lovely gardens. There was a lot of open space and the accommodation was well spread out. It was nice to have a terrace to sit and enjoy a coffee. The Spa was very nice but I can imagine it gets very busy at certain times of the day.
This place is deceptive. The whole country manor image draws you in. Then you find out the rooms are out the back and are no better than a two star roadside motel. Breakfast restaraunt feels like a commercial cafeteria although food ok. Very clean and staff are outstanding. However you are paying four star prices for two star accommodation. The stars are because they have a pool and a spa not because they have nice accommodation. Very tired and disappointing. Overall poor and overpriced.
Great location for the New Forest and Lymington with nice grounds and outdoor and indoor swimming pools.

Property is in a good location and the grounds are lovely. The rooms are very dated and need refurbishment as they don’t look like the photos and are much older. Staff were very polite and helpful.
One night bed and breakfast stay. Excellent facilities including both indoor and outdoor pools with spa facilities. Very comfortable bed and well equipped room. The only slight criticism was the bathroom could do with a refurbishment. (Room 18). We choose to have an evening meal at the ferryman pub, just a short walk away but the cooked breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.
Lovely hotel with great surroundings. Option of Spa and pool. Comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Ideally place for walking to I.O.W. ferry for a day trip to the Island. New Forrest attractions within easy reach.
Lovely settings and period hotel, great facilities, food is good albeit a little pricey, rooms could do with updating. But generally quiet and very good amenities.
Excellent stay. Great facilities and staff that went out of their way to cater for a food intolerance (unfortunately this is not what we usually experience!). We wish we could have stayed longer!

Short stay in New Forest
Excellent location, very near to IOW ferries and perfect for exploring the New Forest. Room was outside main hotel building and was clean and comfortable. Had a couple of small issues which were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.
