Breakfast was lovely on day 2

Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good quality ingredients used.

This place was wonderful -- even a touch whimsical. Perfect for a weekend birthday celebration & getaway, and as a base camp for venturing out to explore the New Forest. Every member of the staff was extremely warm and friendly. Both of us had dietary restrictions (one coeliac) that we asked about for breakfast, and no one batted an eye. (As well, the food was fabulous.) The location was perfect for big and small wanders. No qualms -- would happily stay here again!

The only thing we ran into was that the thermostat for the room pretended to come on, but never really did. We fooled ourselves into thinking it was working, but later realized it was just two people's body heat contributing to the overall temp. 😂 The room seemed well-insulated and was never absolutely freezing, just couldn't quite get it to a comfortable level. But our time there was so fleeting and full of things to do that we never managed to say anything, which is no one's fault but our own! (I believe we were in something like the lemon verbena room, for anyone's reference.) Truly, this was not ultimately a detraction from our experience.

Breakfast, room, location

The bathroom in the suite was unfinished, edges of wall near bath needed tiling, the grout tape was exposed where the tiles would be.

It lived up to its age and our historic room was perfect

We found no negatives

A quiet oasis in a busy area with an excellent breakfast.
