Cold have been great apart from the sad state of decoration in what had once been a magnificent home

Location & attitude of staff

Seriously dated & in need of some work the building is beautiful but needs some serious tender loving care

Back to the 80’s

Comfortable walk into Lymington. Nice outdoor pool area but not heated so only practical on sunny hot day.

Room stank of stall cigarettes, furnished old, threadbare and dirty. Overall very much like a holiday camp trying to be a country hotel. Breakfast swimming in grease.

It didn’t live up to our expectations sadly

The location was lovely.

The staff were rather slow and didn’t really seem to be bothered, on occasions I witnessed them being passive aggressive to some of the guests, although we didn’t experience this ourselves.

Good location and all staff members are really friendly. Would recommend.

Room was a nice size with super king bed and very comfortable. The cleanliness of the room was really good. Supper in the bar was really fresh and tasty.

There was an electrical noise coming from the wardrobe, that would come and go. Quite annoying but I did not mention it to reception but really should have.

Fab hotel with good facilities

Lovely grounds, great view, pitch&putt on site plus spa with indoor and outdoor pools (the outdoor was very well maintained despite only May). Lovely albeit expensive breakfast.

Nice 2 night break in the New Forest

The Steam room was good the pool was nice if you manage to arrange to be in there when the children are not around. The breakfast was good plenty of choice and good service. Comfortable bed and quiet location, close to Lymington and restaurants

The heating system was very dated electric heater. The young children in the pool area shouting and jumping and diving in, encouraged by parents and grandparents. Not safe!

We had a lovely time with family to celebrate a 80th birthday

Breakfast was OK, the room was comfortable but in need of refurbishing, and we didn,t have dinner only a snack in the bar which was really pricey.

Ask for a downstairs room when booked with Booking .Com ,we were given an upstair room and had to negiotate a flooded footpath.

Good location and big room

The rooms are in blocks around square. Nice size and clean. The staff were very nice and helpful.

The “spa” is a bit tired. No loungers if you were thinking of spending any time by the pool. The steam room was not working while we were there.

Pleasant hotel, needs a few pennies spending on it but the location is perfect.

Accommodation comfortable and nice touch with coffee machine. Breakfast was ok but only if you timed it well and went to buffet as you notice fresh goods coming from kitchen.

Staff attentiveness at breakfast was poor. Restrictive swimming times for children. Dinner options are a joke, unless your prepared to pay £60+ per head you need to eat off site. There used to be both the high end restaurant and a casual dining restaurant (which was more reasonable) at this hotel however they now shut the budget friendly restaurant and just serve breakfast in here. Dining options really poor for families but a positive being lots of lovely places locally to eat.

Perfect place to stay in Lymington with stunning grounds

Fantastic sized room, stunning grounds, ideal location for the ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight and exploring the New Forest. Lymington is such a beautiful place.

If you're unfortunate to have people staying above you or in an adjoining room you will hear them clearly!!!

Left feeling disappointed, everything was below expectations.

good location, nice grounds.

the place needed doing up, it needs more staff to provide better level of service, the restaurant lacked finesse. Everything could have been better which is disappointing as the location and setting is good.

Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful building in a lovely location. Room was very spacious, very clean and just perfect. The only thing that bothered me was that I asked to be upstairs rather than on the ground floor but that’s not a major issue as it was amazing.

Nothing that I did not like.

Very good base to sightsee from. Staff were very nice and helpful, without exception.

The staff were very helpful. A pot of tea was given gratis as we had to wait over an hour for our room tone made up. The bathroom was an ice box all night long as they weren't expecting the room to be used!

We had to wait an hour for our room because I couldn't manage the stairs. The cooked breakfast on the first day was awful - it had been left standing. The second day was much better as it was help yourself, although we had to get up early to be the first ones in (so that it wasn't left standing again as I left most of it and I didn't want tone hungry on the second day).

Won’t return

The pool

Room was stuffy and noisy , could hear everything going on upstairs and some kind of banging pipes all night , beds were two singles put together with super large uncomfortable pillows. Breakfast options were very poor. We told the lady on check out as we left more tired than we arrived , she could not care less.
