Would recommend for a weekend adventure

Cozy bar, spacious restaurant, with friendly staff who provided great service and delicious food. The good free parking made it easy to explore the surrounding area upon arrival from Southampton Airport.

Everything was perfect.

The homemade marmalade at breakfast was a proper delight!

Steep stairs can be tricky for some.

Try the delicious homemade marmalade at breakfast. it’s a delightful surprise that enhances your morning experience.

Oh mate, that homemade marmalade at breakfast was a proper delight! Plus, the staff were absolutely brilliant—always up for a chat. The location's spot-on for a stroll into Lyndhurst too, and the cozy vibe just made it all feel like home.

The King Room was really spacious and had loads of natural light, which I loved. It felt clean and comfortable overall. The beds were decent, but I did notice some signs of wear, like peeling paint and a few scuffs on the furniture. Still, it was a cozy place to crash after a busy day. The shower was good too, with nice pressure and hot water, which was a plus!

Fantastic location!

good amenities but room for improvement

The breakfast options exceeded expectations with a variety of fresh choices. the staff offered excellent service, making us feel genuinely welcomed during our stay.

The room could use some updates to feel more modern.

my stay was a pleasant surprise! the cozy double room was beautifully decorated and had a peaceful view. the staff were genuinely friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, enhancing our experience compared to my last stay in town.

the shower had low water pressure

The cozy double room with lovely decor was stunning, yet traffic noise disturbed sleep.

Great powerful shower and lovely atmosphere in the pub.

Had some traffic noise at night.

Our cozy double room had lovely decor and a serene view. The aviary in the garden was a good surprise!

stunning access to the new forest and quaint local shops

I had a great stay at this charming hotel, just a few steps away from the new forest heritage centre and only a short stroll to the lovely tea room nearby, making my weekend city walk both convenient and delightful. the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring that i felt right at home throughout my visit. for solo travelers like me, the friendly atmosphere and spacious rooms really added to the experience, but it would have been nice if the room had been a bit cleaner in certain areas.

The family room fits four comfortably, plenty of space even with a travel cot. Dinner offers a good range with delicious portions, especially the puddings that were a hit after a long day of exploring.

Room design felt cramped, particularly with the TV position making it tough to watch from the bed. The bathroom had low water pressure and some areas needed a good clean, particularly the grout. Noise from the road could be bothersome when trying to sleep, especially with fans being too loud for nighttime use.

we had a fantastic time at the stag. the king room was spacious and clean, filled with natural light. the included breakfast was delicious too! the owners made us feel so welcome, even giving us a free drink and meal when we had an issue. it's great value for what you get!

100% recommend
