Beautiful but very tired room

The grounds are beautiful and the reception staff were lovely. Slightly disappointed with the accommodation as it was very tired and dirty. It was also in an outbuilding and not the main hotel. Again, in dire need of modernisation.

Really pleased with our stay in the studio apartment. The apartment was roomy, was clean, had everything we needed, and exceeded our expectations at the price point. The hotel is walkable into Lymington, and has easy access to the rest of the New Forest. Great stay.

Very late check in - post 5pm, which meant we could not get in our apartment or use any faciities, so hung around reception with the kids. The apartment is a great size, but issues with blocked (dust) extracts and left over wrappers from previous guests. The accomodation though is so tired and dated - like something out of the 90's and not 4 star quality or worth over £200 a night. Needs full modernisation, floors, lighting, furniture, bathrooms and kitchen

The room was very cold, with no heating. The staff did provide an extra duvet and a portable heater.The heating was still not on the next day. Also no fires or atmosphere in the bar and main lounge area The water temperature in the shower was tepid. No tissues or biscuits were provided in the room due to my having made the booking through the resort?!

Enjoyable stay. Really liked this hotel and would go back again. We particularly enjoyed the self catering lodge - very convenient if you have small children. The grounds and pool were a hit! Staff friendly and helpful. However, property is a bit dated, needs a refresh. Breakfast is expensive for what it is and we were a bit disappointed.

The picture doesn't tell the story

No food or bar after 9pm ? This is a hotel in the middle of nowhere. And for a very mediocre breakfast you have to follow a bizarre route to a soulless room by the gym. Very odd. Could do so, so much better.

Lovely property in a great locations we really enjoyed our stay. However the room we had in the old Manor House was a bit small and restricted by too much furniture. The shower an old in line electric water heater was difficult to use and as usual with these water pressure was limited. It would also have helped to have a small fridge.
