This is an antik hotel right on the picturesque high street. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel itself was spotlessly clean. The highlight in this hotel is the vintage lift complete with cage - fantastic. Our room was clean, had a mega air conditioner and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect for beaulieu motor museum, Stonehenge or Hurst Castle. Take a walk in the town and visit all the pubs my tip would be the Swan just down the road.

The room we had was in the roof so you had to duck down to get into bed - might be an issue for some people. Cappuccino for breakfast costs extra (and on one day was not even available due to staff shortage).

The Hotel looks amazing it was clean and tidy and the staff where happy to help.

Room was very small, I expected a smaller room as it wasn't the most expensive but it was quite a shock when opening the door. As i was a solo traveller it was fine but if my partner was with me it wouldn't have been. Also i know how people are parking isn't the hotels fault, but when the parking is limited and quite small alot of people parked so terrible that there was spaces available but you couldnt get into them as the cars where half in them and also there is areas that are marked on the floor to keep clear and people left cars in there making it very difficult to get out. I would hope as you leave your registration plate at the front desk a friendly prompt to park a bit better and not in areas you shouldn't would help.

Old-fashioned room and an overall vintage feeling of the hotel was nice. Decorated in style! Surprisingly strong water pressure. Conveniently located, lots of tea options in the room.

The breakfast was supposed to be „award-winning“, which is hard to believe if there is just one type of fruit (green apples) and one sort of cheese. Also, the breakfast definitely did look fancier on the homepage‘s photos. Restaurant was overpriced.

Good location for New Forest. Excellent breakfast, buffet but cooked food was good, and my requested gluten free toast and soya milk came very quickly. Cosy room, decor is to look traditional but my shower was modern and good water pressure. Very clean. Good selection of different types of tea next to kettle. Lighting good in room.

A little tight in the room for space but was fine for one overnight stay. Room was comfortably heated on a very cold night via air conditioning but the noise from this was a bit annoying until I got used to it. However, I would stay here again, enjoyed my stay.

Lovely hotel in the center of Lyndhurst. Rooms are great with everything you need and furnished nicely. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a lovely shower with plenty of hot water. Peaceful welcoming hotel inside with areas to sit and relax.Nice quiet garden with lots of seating and shades to sit and enjoy the sunny weather having a drink, reading or just sitting there relaxing. Recommend highly.

Nothing

Excellent stay! The location was perfect, the staff was nice, friendly and professional but not too stiff, the facilities were great and the rooms very clean. The whole building has a very cozy and homely atmosphere, and it has lots of classy, oldschool looking elements but still quite modern regarding technology. I loved it all, special thanks to Peter and also the night receptionist for going out of their way to help me. Also the breakfast was amazing!

The street facing rooms are a bit close to the road so you can hear the cars but the oldschool windows have an extra glazing so it's not that bad - also it's an old building mainly made of wood so you can hear some noise from other rooms but also nothing to fuss about, it's not bad and nothing can be done about these. :)

I was greeted warmly upon my arrival by the person on reception (Peter) who checked me in. My room was a fairly compact single but very nicely appointed and the bathroom felt luxurious. My room was facing the main road which was a little noisy although it had secondary glazing and air conditioning so that made it a little quieter. The hotel itself is beautiful and has some very pleasant grounds and ample car parking and is in the heart of Lyndhurst so everything is nearby and you're only a short drive to all the walks and sites in the New Forest. Breakfast was superb, huge selection and available immediately. It felt like an occasion staying at this hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

We only had breakfast we rarely use a hotel for our evening meals unless it was part of a package as we prefer to try different types of food. The breakfast was good and part of the stay but we would probably have used the local cafe's if it was not available, The reason we chose the locations was because of the variety of local restaurants and shops available and a number of years ago we had a meal at the Crown which I said at the time we must stay in this hotel at some stage but forgot about it until I carried out a search for a place to stay. Although we had a rocky start with the noise from the room allocated caused by either the fridge system or air condition in the casing in the corner of the room I always say it is how it problems dealt with that matters and the staff was top notch and sorted out a terrific room for the rest of our stay. We defiantly would consider another stay at this hotel as long as we did not have a noisy room.

Noisy room on first night I am a light sleeper and although not so important more selection on the continental breakfast might be coincided. The lift was a little tricky but it was part of the heritage of the hotel and we got used to it.

Stunning building in the heart of Lyndhurst, with the addition of parking ! The interior reflects the grandeur of the building, very old school, grand staircases, relaxing lounge and restaurant, and supported by a quietly efficient Professional team. Roomwise, I ended up in the Rufus suite right at the top of the hotel, a- massing, again proper old school - vast bed - great bathroom with shower and roll top bath, chic toiletries.

One issue for certain guests would be the lift, whilst it fits into the hotel brilliantly and is very quaint - it’s also very small!, we are talking one person small!- so if you have mobility issues or lots of luggage, there will be issues for you.

Loved the character and feel of the hotel which is very grand. The lovely garden is a great space for evening drinks. Car parking space was adequate for the hotel and very secure The bedroom was comfortable and air conditioned. The location on central Lyndhurst couldn't be better for exploring the town. There is a lift to the upper floors. Food in the restaurant/grill was excellent Good range of beers, wines and cocktails. Staff very friendly and obliging.

Our only negative would be the breakfast service on the second morning (Sunday). The range, quality and availability of food was very good but the table service was quite chaotic. We had to clear our own table twice and ask three times for more tea and coffee, which did not arrive. Clearly they didn't have the waiting staff available to cope with a normal breakfast service.
