Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ormonde House Hotel is often praised for its convenient location near Lyndhurst and the New Forest, making it ideal for walks and exploring the area, and provides easy onsite parking. Many guests found their deluxe rooms to be spacious, with comfortable beds and some even featuring a spa bath. The Nepalese Gurkha chicken curry in the restaurant seems to be a particular highlight, and a good breakfast is generally appreciated, although some have mentioned the limited menu as a downside.

Quiet retreat near the forest

convenient location quiet atmosphere high food quality

I appreciated the convenient location, particularly as i enjoy cycling. It's close to the train station and the village. The staff demonstrated excellent accommodation. The premises proved very clean and offered a genuinely quiet atmosphere. Food quality was high as well. I particularly enjoyed the breakfasts and would recommend the restaurant.

The stairs leading to my room felt quite steep, and i noticed the steps weren't very deep.

The room featured a comfy super kingsized bed composed of two singles pushed together, a practical arrangement, but it was comfortable. A spa bath was included in the bathroom, and i found it refreshing. There WERE plenty of radiators.

The location is very convenient for walks into town, and the new forest is accessible across the road. It is a good central position for several attractions. the LOCATION was perfect, though.
