This place is brilliant. Coming from London, we were both so amazed out how peaceful this place is. The room was so comfortable. We both slept so well and neither of us sleeps that well in new places. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food is delicious. The breakfast was amazing! Parking - easy. The donkeys, ponies and the rest of the wildlife around make the village green and surrounding roads and footpaths so idyllic. I have returned after quite a long drive (once we hit London traffic) and I still feel relaxed after just one night here. I wish we’d booked for longer now. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, bathroom and toiletries brilliant. Hairdryer plus tea and coffee and mineral water provided. Brilliant, we both slept like logs! When I go away, the first night, I usually find it difficult to sleep but here great. The soundproofing is impressive too. There was an event in the pub below and you couldn’t hear it. I did hear an owl hooting but in terms of noise that was it. In the morning the birds singing was very nice. Plus I love the dog friendly place (as I would love a dog but I have to make do with the kindness of strangers’ sharing their darling for a moment).

Loved the staff. So helpful. Food and bar staff al fabulous.

Management(owners with directors of the pub chain) coming in, having a meal and appeared to arrogantly ( even if in jest- passive aggressive) berate their staff about various things. There is a time and place for this and its not so obviously in front of paying customers. Felt sorry for the staff as it looked a bit embarassing for them. Do better as the pub, food and staff are outstanding and they deserved better. Ruined our wedding anniversary trip to be seeing it.

We’ve loved this pub for years and had always dreamed of spending a night here. Our expectations were - if anything - exceeded. The room was lovely with one of the most comfortable beds I’ve experienced. My daughter was happy with the sofa bed too. And the food was outstanding. We had a lovely dinner, and then the freshly prepared breakfast was wonderful.

Nothing to dislike. We loved it, and we’ll be back for sure!

The pub itself was beautiful! Quirky-milk churn for bar seats. Staff were friendly, polite and genuine nice people. Food was delicious! Our room was pretty, bed was super comfy being 7 months pregnant the bed was dreamy! Our room wasnt quite ready at the time we arrived so the pub gave us a free drink. Didn't matter to us what time we checked in.

Nothing we loved the place and will be returning!

The staff are a great group of people and are very good at their jobs. Breakfast is great. There us a village shop right next to the pub. A 5 min drive to a nearby town with all you could want including a Ferrari dealership if your feeling flush Despite the old building and windows the property is kept very warm.

No complaints. Prices in the area are higher than my part of the world but not overly excessive and the Trusty Servant is well priced compared to some other pubs.

The room was very clean and the location was beautiful, so picturesque with lots of wild horses and foals milling around but also close enough to the town that you could drive in quickly. The staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing!

I loved our stay but the room decor was a bit sad, I think just a couple of tweaks like updating the sofa and moving it so it faced the beautiful view and maybe having a built in wardrobe rather than an ikea one, the furnishings slightly cheapened the room whereas the building itself and the location felt so steeped in history.

Position of the hotel, in the middle of the forest was great. Breakfast was lovely cant fault it, always hot and fresh. Any issues were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Garden is beautiful lovely to sit out in the evening. Nice community shop on site, open every day. Horses and ponies outside the hotel every morning so calm and peaceful.

Rooms need some updating and a freshen up in all areas.

Location, staff, lovely room. Value for money. Food was fantastic. Very dog friendly which we loved.

No chef available on pur first morning so we had to go to a sister hotel over a mile away for our breakfast. Also, had a power cut for a few hours so in the dark with no heating or hot food but it was new forest wide not just this hotel so couldn't be helped.

Loved the location! Really felt part of the New Forest. Something wonderful and different to see (and hear!) each morning as I opened the curtains. Ponies on the green, a pack of Bloodhounds being exercised , led and flanked by cyclists, cows, a pony and trap ...

Food generally good, but watered orange juice one morning, followed by no juice the next morning, was a little disappointing.

Loved the friendly and helpful staff. Loved the food and atmosphere and location. Good selection for food and drinks. Nothing was to much for them and the locals were very friendly too.

If I had to be picky the bathroom and bedroom only separated by a sliding door so not a lot of privacy for couples. But that's been picky it wasn't a huge problem.
