Deep in the Forest, A Return Trip Planned

forest view comfortable bed delicious shortbread active location

The hotel sits deep in the New Forest. Getting there takes a trek, but it is worth it. A room overlooked the forest and wildlife. New Forest shortbread was delicious. The bed was very comfortable.

Pictures advertise one thing but some aspects differ. Expect some areas that need renovating.

Location

The surrounding area includes an adjacent forest, easily accessible for walking and exploration. This proximity allows guests to quickly transition from the hotel's refined atmosphere to the natural beauty of the woodland. The natural setting provides a sense of calm.

excellent stay at a forest retreat

attentive staff immaculate room outdoor swimming pool

The staff was attentive and cute. our room was immaculate. i slept very well. the spa and outdoor swimming pool were excellent. the hotel sits in well-manicured grounds. The restaurants offer a good choice of food. I will definitely return.

the room i booked did not meet the standards of the rest of the hotel, so that was a let down. i hope they improve the rooms to match the quality of the rest of the estate.
