Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were decent in size with a nice big bathroom and a great shower, but it was uncomfortably warm, and the air conditioning units were noisy when trying to cool the room. The view from the deluxe suite was underwhelming. The service was a bit varied, with some staff being very obliging and friendly, but others were reluctant to fix issues directly. The location was convenient, nicely decorated, and modern, with some lovely touches, making it a good spot for exploring the New Forest and the village of Burley. Dining had its ups and downs, with some finding it simply incredible while others felt it didn't live up to previous visits. Overall, considering the warm room and noise from the AC units, it was a comfortable stay marred slightly by service inconsistencies and dining experiences.
The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms, though well equipped, were uncomfortably hot at times, but the friendly service made up for it. The location offered beautiful walks in the open forest, while the dining experience was satisfactory with a decent selection. However, some cleanliness issues with the wine glasses were noted, yet the ground floor room with a patio was a nice touch.
The hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were luxurious and sumptuous but unfortunately located very close to the toilets. The service was slow during a busy lunchtime, but the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. The location is perfect for nature lovers, even though there were some minor issues with the room. Overall, a charming location with some room for improvement in services and facilities.
