Forest Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Good location, 2 pubs very near and a 5 minute walk to Lyndhurst. Could have been a bit cleaner (only a couple of cobwebs on a light fitting nothing serious or off putting) but good for a reasonably priced Hotel. Reception friendly and helpful. We will go there again. P.S. Its very dog friendly.

The swimming pool is the jewell in this hotel's crown. The rooms are basic but spacious, some with views over the garden areas. The staff are very friendly and always willing to ensure that all guests are happy with their stay. Breakfast is good with a variety of continental and cooked foods available. There is an additional cost for breakfast for those who book on a room only basis. A service charge is also levied for service provided at meal times. The hotel is dog friendly and is ideally situated for walking into Lyndhurst. There is ample free parking with charging points for electric vehicles.

Breakfast service was a little chaotic due to the numbers of residents eating in one sitting, with only 3 members of staff on duty. The selection and quality of food however was very good. The staff are always busy but extremely approachable and will always help if there is an issue. The rooms are clean, a little basic but comfortable. The swimming pool is very good and a huge asset to the hotel. The hotel is ideally suited for walking into the town of Lyndhurst, just a few minutes walk away. Free parking with electric charging points available.

Room was clean, but there was no room service for example, no bed making (which is not a problem) no emptying of bins and no replacement of toilet rolls. The stair carpet was worn in places. For the price we paid for 3 nights it was expensive. A nice choice of breakfast continental or cooked, (you had to pay extra for this) Staff were friendly and parking okay.
