Breakfast's were great. Meals in the restaurant and bar were excellent. Highest quality. The chef is a star! All the waiting staff were friendly, always had a smile, helpful, respectful and very willing to interact in a friendly manner. The front of house team likewise. Nothing was too much trouble. Good management from the top down. Rooms had excellent amenities, comfortable beds. Hotel location and facilities were brilliant. The building itself was well maintained keeping the history of the building whilst providing modern comforts. Dogs are made to feel welcome with their own menus!

Just a personal preference, one or two of the staff had pierced septums, which I feel was not in keeping with the standard of the establishment.

We had a really great time at Forest Park. The location is good, very close to the centre of the village and not too far from the station. There is a gorgeous trail that starts just outside the property, which for us, with a toddler and no car, was ideal. The staff were lovely and made all the necessary changes to dining options to accommodate my daughter's food allergies. The breakfast was very good and varied. The property was lovely, well decorated and full of wonderful touches like a nespresso machine in the room and a Dyson hairdryer. All in all, we would return without a second thought.

Small cosmetic details could have had better attention. The mechanism on one of the shutters was broken, and although the team were aware, nothing was done to replace it, which meant the middle shutter was impossible to close. Some areas like the bathroom door could use a lick of paint as it was peeling in places, but, as I mentioned, those were mostly cosmetic. It just felt a shame considering all the lovely details put into the hotel. It was also extremely hot even with the heating off and the window open.

Excellent location, can walk across the road to the forest. A 10min walk to the quaint nearby village where you pass lots of local ponies in the field & on the road. Staff were exceptional! More than happy to help & excellent with my 2 year old. Food was 10/10 - stated here for my partners birthday & couldn’t ask for better food - very good quality & presentation I’ve stayed in 100’s of places over the years & by far the best with amenities - bedroom was equipped with a £400 Dyson hairdryer, nespresso coffee machine, games to play, quality chocolate & high standard tea, coffee & bath & shower items

Nothing bad to say

Old building with modernised and comfortable bedrooms but has maintained its traditional charm. Beautiful rear garden surrounded with trees with lots of tables and chairs and an outside bar in good weather. Excellent breakfast with buffet Continental. Tea or coffee and full English all served to your table. Lovely friendly staff. Set in the forest with free roaming ponies.

No air conditioning. Rooms supplied with a good electric fan but can get hot in a heat wave as windows have the usual opening restrictors.

The attention to every detail, the staff was absolutely amazing- all of them. Super dog friendly (my pup was loving all the attention and the little welcome pack). I usually don’t like to dine in the same place and like to try out different local places but the food was really good so I ended up having dinner and breakfast there and only went out one night. The room was very spacious, comfortable and with all the amities. It felt like everything was really thought through. I would definitely book a stay here again.

Not a dislike but the WiFi on TV wasn’t working. They were installing some new system so you couldn’t watch Netflix or cast but it’s a minor thing and not really a big deal.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The bed and room were spacious, comfy and super clean. Housekeeping even left us cute notes. The breakfast was 10/10 and we could go to the bar in the evening and take up what we liked to our room. They're so accommodating towards children and dogs (they have wellies at the front door for all shoe sizes as young as 2, and spare dog leads and dog towels). The garden was beautiful and the setting is so peaceful.. you can just cross the road and you're greeted by New Forest plains and wild horses, yet you're 5 minutes away from Brock highstreet. Incredible few days.

The only criticism was the shower pressure. It came and went. Luckily we liked having baths so had them instead.

We were super impressed about how dog friendly this hotel is, amazing features for those four legged guests! 10/10 for that, thank you. Staff were all wonderful too, special mention to Emma who helped us with booking in the first place and also on Front Desk at checkout. Our room was lovely; big, comfortable bed with huge bathroom. We will most definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The only thing I would say here is that for dinner in the restaurant, my husband had the prawn dish under “Grazing” option, if only this had a bit of garlic, it would be delicious, it was quite bland without, even with the chilli.

Very welcoming. Staff brilliant. Food amazing. Loved the little extras like the pillow spray and welcome note from housekeeping. Location is just perfect.

It was advertised as having bike storage. It didn’t. The staff very kindly moved around a shed full of junk to accommodate our bikes but it was a pain having to get a member of staff every time we wanted them out or in and were covered in dust. There are some outside bike racks. No air con and if you have a small double room there are no fans supplied.

Comfortable and atmospheric small country hotel, lovely food and friendly staff. Surrounded by trees, lovely garden area. Great location for walking into Brockenhurst and the surrounding natural and unspoilt countryside. Good base for visiting the whole of the New Forest area. When we visited the hotel was trimmed up for the Christmas period and were lovely decorations. We will definitely visit again.

We had a shower over bath and the pressure for the shower was really low. Housekeeping advised they reported this so I think was not a normal thing. I believe some rooms have a walk in shower so might ask for that next time. It was the only disappointing thing but the rest of the room and whole hotel was lovely.

Lovely stay in a wonderful room with a fantastic breakfast. Thank you for making our overnight stay special.

Not so keen on having other people's dogs near our table whilst dining but great for the dog owners.
