7.6/10 Good! (1,003 reviews)

Great hotel and friendly staff. Only a few things which were minor - room was downstairs and the window was right next to some outdoor seating, so would have been very noisy on a busy afternoon/evening. Had dinner (burger) which was tasty. Unfortunately the bar and outdoor area overlook the pool so we decided against a swim and opted to pay the £15 for the spa visit instead! Parking ok but £10 per 24 hrs so could add up for a longer stay. EV charger would be handy. Room was serviced even though we didn't leave the sign out which was nice but unnecessary (changed our towels even though left on the radiator). Slept well though and it was a spacious room with good shower. Thanks!

Me & my wife stopped over for 1 night on the way to Southampton for our Cruise, lovely place to stay, very warm conditions but the Air Con in our room was very poor struggled to sleep. Went for something to eat in the bar but had no Fish & Chips left & didn't fancy anything else on the menu so jumped in the car travelled 3 miles to a local pub The Swan had a fantastic meal 10 out of 10

8.2/10 Very Good! (142 reviews)

Really pleased with our stay in the studio apartment. The apartment was roomy, was clean, had everything we needed, and exceeded our expectations at the price point. The hotel is walkable into Lymington, and has easy access to the rest of the New Forest. Great stay.
