Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a very spacious and comfortable stay for us and our dogs, despite a slightly gothic breakfast setup. The rooms were generally clean and cozy. The service staff were wonderfully patient and helpful, especially accommodating our lively children. The location offered plenty of space for everyone but had minor accessibility issues and noise concerns. The dining experience was disappointing at times, with slow service and mixed quality food. Overall, a decent value for the money with some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well-designed, catering perfectly to our needs despite some issues like a broken door lock and undercooked food. The service was nice and friendly overall, with a few minor hiccups. The location had its ups and downs, being near a busy road but also convenient for visiting the nearby country park. The dining experience was a mixed bag, with some aspects being subpar. Overall, the hotel offered value for money but had room for improvement in certain areas.
I almost hesitated to book here again after a mishap with a previous cancellation, but I'm glad I did. The rooms were amazing - clean, tidy, and reasonably spacious with an excellent location and easy parking. However, the dust was a bit of a letdown. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, despite some pressure during busy meal times. The location was excellent, with easy access to New Forest walks and not far from Poole and Bournemouth. The dining experience had its moments with good options, but there were some issues with the food quality and service speed. Overall, a mixed but generally positive experience.
