Although named 'New Forest Lodge', it's a small place positioned slightly away from the New Forest. A good drive to most places, at the northern end of the New Forest with some parking. With an Indian restaurant next door, that takes the parking on a busy night. On booking with Expedia we expected a 'family room', but on arrival were placed into a 'twin'. This gave the hotel a bit of a problem, and we are beyond pushing beds together. The hotel manager moved us to another double room which was better. The rooms are clean and tidy, with tea, coffee, kettle etc and small TV. The bathroom although dated was clean and well stocked with towels and toiletries. In the reception area was a stock of plates and cutlery with dining seating and a vending machine, if you brought your own food, it was handy. For preparing packed lunches etc. the iron was also kept there. Overall it was very clean, tidy and safe and a good standard of budget accommodation

It was a lovely room and the staff were helpful. The location was great as expected. The only complaint was that the Bath and the bathroom floor had a lot of black hairs, which probably came off the shower curtain.

We have had a lovely stay at this property. Would recommend to any family. It’s comfortable, well equipped and spacious. Better than any hotel as you have a kitchen and 2 bathrooms. We found this property as going to Paultons park and it is on 9 mins drive away. Thank you we have been very pleased with our stay

Beautiful views, walking distance to the beach. House is old but in pretty good condition. Property is responsive to their emails. And the kids loved it there.

Three night stay to attend family wedding. Room was pleasant enough, bedding/towels clean. Some stains on carpet. Ground floor window opened onto a hedge so no view to speak of. Worst thing was the noise. I think my room was next to the boiler which seemed to boost every few hours during the night. There is hardly any soundproofing so woke this morning to Old MacDonald being sung to a toddler, could practically make out neighbours conversations. Upstairs room sounded like a suitcase was being constantly dragged across the floor. If I returned I would insist on an upper floor room with a view and located away from the boiler cupboard.
