Overall unfortunately disappointed.
The hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. The outdoor pool is wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the room we stayed in was shabby. On check out we spoke to the manager about the damaged wallpaper, the crack in the sink, cracks in the bathroom tiles and the low water pressure. He told us that the room was on the list for refurbishment but they still charged £220 (or near enough) for the room which I think is unacceptable especially as their website says ‘high quality’. We had already paid on arrival so the manager said he couldn’t refund us anything. Quite disappointed as the hotel is in a great location with lovely facilities.

Average stay
Our stay was ok but for a four star hotel and for the price we paid we found the room small and it was quite run down. The food and drinks outside were lovely, it made a really enjoyable afternoon. The service was quite slow but that wasn’t a big deal.

Decent hotel but overpriced compared to other options we have stayed at in brockenhurst. Expedia rate is high and didn’t include breakfast. We were made to feel grateful for being fed 3 times despite the high price! Not friendly and welcoming and room small and dated but great location. Better value for money options exist.

Beautiful setting on edge of New Forest
Beautiful setting on edge of New Forest and still handy for a 15 min walk to local shops. A few minutes stroll and you are on to the forest routes and with the wild ponies. Used gym and jacuzzi and indoor pool. Lovely lounge areas and fireplace to sit and read the paper and enjoy a morning coffee. Fantastic to have a few car chargers for electric cars on site so quickly recharged. Annoyingly the “eco-friendly” setting of gym machines mean they turn off and lose your data the moment you stop jogging/ pedalling-need to change that as should allow a 1 minute pause while take a drink. Spa towels were thin NHS-style towels - expected something soft and fluffier! TV did not work at all in our room which was a shame. Comfortable stay for a weekend. Easter picture trail for children in hotel.

Friendly staff but very tired room- towels dreadfully thin, bobbly and needing to be replaced, big chip in bath, headboards all worn. Old fashioned facilities- indoor pool not suitable for a proper swim due to depth and shape - more suitable for young children.
