We ate dinner there both nights and the food was delicious. We had Nepalese the first night, and the standard menu the second night and both were very good. The staff both in the evening and at breakfast were very friendly and attentive, and we were also given some great suggestions for walking routes in the area. The room itself was okay although it wasn't as nice close up as it appeared in the photos and looked quite dated. However it was clean, the bed was comfy and it was quiet at night after the pub closed.

The shower in room 2 had quite a lot of the nozzles missing which meant the water came out like Niagara Falls. On top of this, the shower door had obviously broken at some point and been replaced with a shower curtain, but due to the force of the water it just came out underneath and soaked the floor of the bathroom. The bathroom itself had absolutely nowhere to put anything, and no hooks to hang anything either. It clearly needs some improvements.

Located in a delightful hamlet, lovely walks from the Inn. Charmingly decorated, quirky but not outlandish - comfortable and welcoming. Lovely new shower room. Good, full English breakfast, waitress service. A good evening menu, including a fabulous Ghurka menu - we enjoyed a great curry and accompaniments. Restaurant obviously very popular so be sure to book.

Looks a bit run down from the outside, but once all is in bloom - wisteria? it will look lovelier. Lovely to have a wardrobe in the room, but difficult to see the full length mirror. But, good wall mirrors in the room. Minor dislikes.

I had an incredible stay that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and made check-in a breeze, offering me a drink. The room was beautifully designed, combining comfort and elegance with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It was equipped with all the amenities I could ask for, making it a perfect retreat after a long day of work. Now, let's talk about the food! The hotel had an on-site restaurant that served a delightful menu featuring both local and Nepalese Gurkha cuisine. Every meal was a culinary adventure; the breakfast buffet was particularly impressive, with a variety of fresh fruits, cereal and cooked breakfast. Dinner was a highlight, with beautifully presented plates and flavors that were both vibrant and comforting. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was inviting and relaxed. The common areas were tastefully decorated, creating a cozy yet upscale vibe. There were comfortable sitting area where guests could unwind, and the outdoor spaces were perfect for enjoying a drink while taking in the lovely surroundings. Overall, this hotel stay was a perfect blend of great food, outstanding hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere that made my experience truly memorable. I can't wait to return next week!

We had a wonderful stay at The Compasses Inn. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The food was excellent, with delicious options that catered to different tastes. Every detail, from cleanliness to service, was exceptional. We would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Lovely, warm, with very friendly, helpful staff. My room was very warm and cosy. I was close to missing dinner as I had to work later, I called and was helped through the menu over the phone to make a choice and the kitchen was very accommodating. The Nepalese prawn Korma curry I had.. (I’ve had the good fortune of travelling the world over for work staying and eating in some of the finest) well.. was outstanding and one of the best I have ever had! Place in a beautiful setting by a river it is the jewel of the village.

If I had to be picky the room interior could be less eclectic but that’s a minor detail (and my personal taste) as it was perfectly clean and facilitated.

The room was cozy and spotless clean... Nice place... easy access... staff very helpful and polite.

Unfortunately, I chose this particular one for having breakfast, but on the website didn't say any specific time.. so I didn't think it would be a problem. But the breakfast time was (ordering) from 8am (so give more time to be ready) and I had to leave at 8. The man trying to help offered us a sandwich to be ready to collect at 7.30. We said yes but nobody showed up for that. I went straight to work and was late because had to stop and eat something... if I knew i would have left earlier. Just please make it clear on your website and wherever you partner with: breakfast from 8am... this is important information.

The compasses is a short drive from Fordingbridge centre a very pleasant, peaceful location. We didn't have an evening meal as we met friends in town but the menu looked very good with tempting asian specialities available. Breakfast was excellent. Our room was good with plenty of room and was clean and tidy. Only let down for me was the bed was a bit uncomfortable as it had a bit of a "dip" on one side, otherwise it was ok. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Couldn't really fault the place other than the bed as mentioned.

The reviews for this pub were very good, and on arrival, after some initial confusion, on the part of a trainee member of staff, we found that the staff, facilities and particularly the food were all very good, and often excellent. The Nepalese menu seemed very popular with guests, and whilst there were plenty of more traditional British dishes on the menu, few if any were chosen, and certainly not by us. The help given by staff when choosing what dishes to have was first class, and everything we ate was excellent. The traditional English full breakfast was also very good, and everything was high quality.

Our room was fairly small, and the bed had seen better days. The shower room was very good. Ours was booked as a "Superior Double Room", but in reality did not meet that expectation (Room 7). However, because the the staff, location, large garden (appreciated by our 2 dogs), and sports field adjacent, were so good, our dislikes were really very minor.

The Nepalese food was excellent. The most delicious korma curry Ive ever had. The breakfast also was very generous and tasty. The scrambled eggs were a wonderful flavour. The staff are very helpful and nice. Its situated in a lovely village setting. A comfy memory foam mattress. The hotel was clean throughout. It has a lovely garden with fairy lights, and a field next door which is perfect for exercising your dogs. The pub and inn is dog friendly.

The building is old and a bit tired and in need of some TLC. The bed we had is quite low which is difficult for people with mobility issues.

The staff and landlord are very friendly The food was excellent especially the Currys Food is always piping hot Excellent Guinness Plenty of parking Very friendly locals Made very welcome by all Large room Comfortable bed Good breakfast

Bathroom could do with an upgrade few cracked tiles and damp in places Not a great shower Pillows not so good Furniture is a bit tired needs a refresh Can be a bit cold in the dinning room when having breakfast in the morning
