location and activities in lovely surroundings, beautiful hotel. Good breakfast buffet
small dining room and bars easily full due to the amount of accommodation. Room service/takeaway menu very limited.

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!
7.0
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.

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.
7.0
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.

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!!!
4.0
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.
10.0
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.

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).

Breakfasts were excellent
Room was not very warm

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.

8.0
staff were very helpful. the room was clean and the pool facilities were clean
nothing wrong with the property or the room, but the breakfast wasn’t worth the money
9.0
Dinner was lovely and a drink in the bar beforehand. What really made it special was Kim who when I asked her to take a photo of us as we had got engaged that day, really went out of our way to make us feel special. After we had finished our meal, we got back to our room and heard a knock on the door. Kim said she didn't realise we didn't have dessert and had brought a plate up especially with Congratulations written in chocolate with decoration and 4 x delicious truffles. She really went above and beyond and made us feel so special.
the gym could of been a bit bigger but wasn't a problem as we are runners and didnt use it.
