charming getaway

coffee machine bottled water

this place was a real find. the location is in the middle of the new forest, and a quick walk to the village center. i found the room modern and comfortable. bottled water and a nespresso coffee machine were welcome additions. i especially liked that they offered chocolate and biscuits (a perfect late-night snack!).

the restaurant's atmosphere was lacking. i felt the quality of the food was not up to par, and the tables seemed basic for a hotel of this standard. i found the staff enthusiastic but could use some more training.

Rooms

the beautiful double room featured classic fm radio that played upon arrival. the decor seemed bright and airy, and the bed offered a comfortable night's sleep. a dyson hairdryer was available, and i found lovely bathroom products for purchase.

The hotel location is in the heart of the forest. It is a short walk to many walking trails and activities. I found the room decor to be tastefully decorated and really clean.

The plant-based main course option in the restaurant was limited.
