“This historic inn, dating back to 1782, offers a dog-friendly base for exploring the New Forest. While the location puts you near attractions like Paulton's Park, I noted some inconsistencies reported with the execution of higher-end dining and accessibility features relative to price. With its blend of charm and recreational options, the hotel has appeal, especially for family-oriented vacations in nature.”

I adored how quiet my room was. the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions. breakfast was also delicious. I enjoyed the selection of pastries and the freshly brewed coffee.
The shower had very low water pressure. It was quite frustrating! the gym equipment seemed a bit outdated. also the wifi was really patchy in the evenings, so using it was annoying

the room size impressed me and the bathroom was spacious. friendly and helpful staff were always available. large internet tv was great for entertainment.
i noticed the breakfast seemed overpriced at £24.95. i received just one egg and one sausage. there were no bananas available so i asked for more butter.

The room was far from the standard I expected. I found stains on the carpet. The evening meal was satisfactory, but many seats had bad stains. The lady at breakfast seemed to be working alone and looked overwhelmed. It was evident that she needed a second staff member to help her.
