The pub/restaurant was very modern and has recently been refurbished so a gigh standard. We had lunch when we arrived and were very impressed with the food. We had the sharing platter. The room was clean and cosy. Even though our room was directly above the restaurant, it was very quiet, which was a bonus. The location was great. We ate in the Inn's restaurant, Thai opposite, The Italian opp the train station and the thatched cottage tea rooms (all within a 4 min walk from the Inn). There is train station, 3-5 min walk, which has a direct link to London and Lymington. We never used it, but this is so handy. Very central location, a great base for exploring the New Forest. It's located on the main road, next to the SenSpa (which I visited) has parking and is just off the High Street (again only a 4 min walk away). Staff were lovely, very helpful, and welcoming. The managers (I can't remember their name's) reslly made an effort to talk to you. We didn't bring ours this time, but the hotel/bar/restaurant is dog friendly and offers dog friendly rooms. They are also opening up a new area of the bar, which has an existing bowling alley. This is going to be a family area, which I was so impressed with. The kids stayed home this trip, but this would be a great bonus to any hotel/pub if you're staying with the kids.

Not that it really bothered us and no way a complaint, but the room was very small.. Was a squeeze 2 people getting ready at the same time. But that wouldn't put us off staying there again or recommending it to others, we would just request a bigger room next time.

Excellent location with lovely forest walks directly from the door. The room was clean, warm and well maintained. The breakfast was excellent combination cooked and cold meals. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They also looked very well after my dietary requirement.

The free WiFi wasn't good. First, you have to log in with your private details and after that you can't download any info even if wifi sign is on. We ended using our mobile data. The room we stayed in was rather small and very dark. It was not clear how small and dark from the photos. Would be suitable 1-2 night stay, but uncomfortable for longer trip.

The accommodation was clean and everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided.

However, the room I stayed in, Goose, the walls were paper thin and I could hear very clearly the other occupants next door. The sandwich I purchased, which cost £10.50 was not presented very well at all, the description on the menu sounded lovely, but it was a doorstep of a sandwich I couldn't bite into it, the shredded beef was incredibly stringy, the cheese was actually lumps which looked as though it had been broken off a block, there was no mustard, no dressing of perhaps a few salad leaves and no crisps. In other words it looked as though it had been thrown together and in a hurry. In contrast, the cooked breakfast the following morning was lovely.

The suite of rooms was beautifully and characterfully furnished, and was very comfortable. It was a delight to have a bath, not simply a shower. The garden is lovely.

Breakfast is pricey if you want choice, but are not a big eater. It would be good if some of the Continental items (e.g. a piece of fruit) were available separately, without having to pay a full Continental breakfast charge...

The Huntsman was in a central location for our weekend. The room was comfy and clean. They have a selection of snacks on an honesty tray with complementary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and water. The rain head shower was amazing! The breakfast was superb with a selection of continental or cooked breakfast. The staff we met were very helpful.

We couldn’t get the tv to work but it didn’t spoil our time away. We decided that we didn’t need it so didn’t bother letting the staff know about it until we left. They said we should have let them know and they would have sorted it out for us but we were happy without it.

The room was beautiful and newly refurbished. Beds are great. We were a party if six that booked separately. Staff realised we were together and organised a table for 6 for breakfast without being asked. We arrived for breakfast at different times but this was no problem. Breakfast (included) was excellent. Free parking and happy for us to leave the car after checkout so we could explore the village.

Comfortable room with lots of thoughtful extras. Loved the French windows opening into the pub garden, yet also quiet. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice range of food and drinks. The whole place exceeded our expectations. We did have delays at dinner and breakfast with getting our food, but the staff were really professional and upfront about it, so all good. .

Great location for the forest & all that has to offer. Beer garden of the pub / hotel was beautiful, very pleasant to sit chill and enjoy the very well kept gardens. Room was fine other than the ceiling height.

While the room was nice and large, it was not advised as being limited in height. I am tall, so could not stand up to my full height anywhere other than the bathroom. But even if was small but over 6 foot it would feel a little low. No way I could use the shower either as that was small & low

The facilities were amazing, and so was Brockenhurst in general. Breakfast and dinner was really nice, however we did have to wait an hour for our food at dinner with our waitress disappearing basically for that whole time making it impossible for us to get her attention on this. We did get a discount in the end but still, rather disappointing of course. Everything else was really great.

Excellent location and a beautiful building and courtyard. Plenty of parking too. We stayed in the Goose room - very spacious with an extra large bed. Fantastic sleeps! Room had wverything we needed and was still quiet given our windows at the rear opened onto the beer garden. I have listed a few of the minor issues we koticed in the 'what didn't you like' box below would note that this should read 'what could be better' as we still had a lovely time and these are simply 'attention to detail' comments.

Whilst the room was great ot is starting to look a little tired and could do with a bit if money spending on it. For example - blind in the bathroom didn't have a chain so we had to wind it down and up manually using the actual blind roller. The two shelves in the bathroom were both loose with the screws falling out. And the sealant around the floor was coming away.
