Room was lovely and clean but we found the staff quite rude in general and cooked breakfast was poor, all cooked breakfast was over done. Nice for 1 night but I don’t think we would stay again.
Everything superb again, albeit the breakfast was a little well done for my liking. I also think the bar food prices are a little pricey, but the quality of food was good.
Perfect for a one night stay. Clean, quiet, lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast.

We had a brilliant time here. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was huge and had loads of useful things like water in the fridge, a fan, iron and ironing board, air con. We ate dinner there which was lovely and very reasonable. Drinks in the bar whilst playing scrabble was a fun evening too! Breakfast was really good, lots of choice and very tasty. It was super dog friendly and we loved seeing the dogs getting their sausages in the morning! All the staff were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic service, food and drink. Room was fabulous and well resourced. My only very slight issue was that breakfast did not start until 8am, in saying that the continental breakfast the night before for us was excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back soon.
Nice comfy beds and love all the traditional features of the property plus all the bear accents!
All the staff were fabulous and friendly.
Breakfast was great quality.
This was a lovely place to stay. Professional but friendly and relaxed staff. Lovely breakfast and rooms very comfortable and have everything you need.

A last minute stay for 1 night
All good . Lovely room and nice breakfast .
This is a lovely quirky place that does a good breakfast and delicious meals will definitely stay again. Rooms are beautiful with lots of added extras.
We stayed in the Goldilocks room the room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed... The bed was clean, but we could feel a couple of springs when lying down.
Breakfast first morning was a 6/10 the bread looked and tasted cheap. The bacon was streaky and fatty. Second morning the bread was better quality but bacon still streaky and fatty 7/10.
There is lots to do in the local area including the New Forest and a short drive to sea.
Comfy, clean, spacious room. Breakfast was great, always cooked perfectly. The pub itself is lovely and the room I stayed in was beautifully decorated. I would definitely stay again!
We had an amazing stay. The hotel was as nice as it looked in the pictures. It had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were great. I would definitely recommend
