The staff were perfect; so lovely and friendly. The food and drinks were incredible. But...the building is tired. The decor needs a revamp and the fixtures and fittings are in need of modernising. It's a real shame, because the staff are doing so much right, but the building itself needs a lot of investment.

This hotel is in an amazing location and has great grounds and facilities, but is let down by a couple of factors: - It’s a family hotel which has as a main selling point free childcare. This childcare wasn’t available when we checked in. It seems this is pretty regular. The childcare facility doesn’t have enough staff to cope with demand. As we went there as a family and wanted some time, this was key. We were eventually given some childcare, not at the time we wanted though, because of a cancellation. If you are going for the childcare BOOK IT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ROOM. Same goes for the spa. Not enough staff, so no availability at all. - The hotel itself is tired. It needs a revamp. Loose fixtures and fittings, tired decor. An overhaul is needed if it wants to call itself a luxury hotel. However, I would recommend for families with small children as the whole thing is set up for them. Just book everything in advance.

As it was the only room left on the day of our trip we booked the smallest room the hotel had to offer. The room was indeed small but made even smaller with a large air con unit in it. The room did need air con but a smaller version would have been better. We found our bed uncomfortable and so springy that if one of us moved so did the other. The kettle in the room was a little temperamental as it didn’t always boil. Our room also lacked white sugar and I’m sure if we had asked the staff would have got us some but we didn’t realise until we got back from our night out. Not sure if the tv should have had a remote but ours didn’t. The hotel it’s self was lovely and the facilities excellent, ruined only by ignorant guest reserving sun beds by the pool and being nowhere in sight. Breakfast was excellent and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

Outside/inside pools were good. Hotel carpet needed hoovering although room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good but service a bit slow and tables were left cluttered and messy for a long time after diners had left. The main problem was that the hot/cold indicators were missing/had fallen off of the shower which meant that I scalded my hand testing which was which - the water was VERY hot and if it had been a child or elderly person it would have been very dangerous. It was reported to reception who said they would ask a maintenance person to gave a look.

The hotel was really lovely. Great breakfast, really enjoyable spa overlooking a horse paddock. And quiet. Room was a little warm but overall great value for what you pay! Highly recommended

Great stay, lovely room & breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside was evening food in restaurant (expensive and not the best)

Lovely New Forest view from the bedroom window. Very dog friendly. The young ish staff were a credit to the hotel. Friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

A fabulous family friendly hotel with something for everyone. As soon as we arrived we felt welcomed, the lady who greeted us couldn’t have been more helpful. We have two children under 10, they both had plenty to do with outdoor space featuring climbing facilities, a football goal, along with other outdoor activities. The kids cinema/play room is a master stroke, connecting to the children's restaurant which allowed children to eat first before we adults had our own time to relax and eat whilst the children played. The hotel grounds are picturesque and the spa/swimming pool overlooking the paddocks is simply stunning. To top it off we discovered this hotel is part of a chain with others alike around the country. Highly recommended.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, they really went out there way. Can’t wait to stay there again!

Lovely hotel. Excellent staff. Room and bathroom was quite large and facilities in general were in good order - spa very nice and clean. Restaurant food and drinks in particular felt over priced unfortunately. Very good again but really not worth the money - my recommendation would be to take a short walk to Brockenhurst for some excellent venues (unless it is chucking it down)!
