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.

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.

Quite disappointed

Quite disappointed by this stay. The position of th hotel is lovely but the hotel itself has many issues. Extraction fan going 24 hours. Spoke to reception on 4 occasions but it was turned off over night only once. I gave up in the end as I was getting no support from staff. Superior room was poor. Bathroom not very clean Products in bathroom had no branding and looked cheap in brown containers. No idea what it was. Pillows hard No fridge No safe For the price I would expect better Only one menu although advertising 2 restaurants. Some staff good some a little disinterested. 3 billing errors in 3 transactions

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.

Lined the building and grounds, and the walk to Brockenhurst was around 15 minutes. Lined the facilities, though we didn’t see a gym there. Not so good was that the outside pool was taken over by children and wasn’t really somewhere that adults could swim properly in.

We arrived in a heatwave and were given a room I didn’t feel comfortable in. The receptionist worked hard and found us a much bigger room with more windows to open. She also suppled us with an extra large fan which kept us cool at night. All the staff were extremely, friendly and efficient.
