Great Hotel for Visiting New Forest

quiet locationspacious roomcomfortable bedquality toiletries
The room was a Double or Twin Room Terrace. I appreciated the quiet location. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I slept well. The included toiletries in the bathroom were of great quality.
A minor issue was a slight delay during check-in, perhaps due to the busy time, but it was resolved quickly.
