We have stayed at the New Forest Lodge before and will do again as we have friends and relatives in Southampton. It is ideally placed to access the city centre and attractions yet sits in the perfect location to explore the New Forest, without paying the premium you would at other New Forest hotels. Good facilities and right next to a pub converted into a curry restaurant which we didn’t visit but has a good reputation.

Everything was perfect for our requirements.

We had a wonderful one-night stay at the New Forest Lodge. The room was incredibly comfy and beautifully decorated — it felt so welcoming and peaceful. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless, modern, and luxurious. Everything was just perfect for a relaxing night away. You can tell a lot of care goes into the place. We only stayed one night, but we wished we had longer. Highly recommend and would definitely come ba

The checking in and out process was easy, friendly reception from staff. The property was easy to locate and had on site parking. Location was good, plenty of places to eat near by and not far from local walking paths. The room was a good size, we had a nice view of a field. Great that there was a small fridge in the room to keep our drinks/lunch cool ready for our walk the next day.

The only thing with the property is the walls are thin you can hear other guests talking in their room and if you happen to be upstairs you can hear every movement made from the floor above.

The lovely lady allowed us to check in early and showed us to our room. She went out of her way to get a bed guard for my young daughter at my request and was overall helpful and friendly. The bed was SO comfortable- I was so shocked! The bedroom was big and spacious, and the bathroom had a bath which we weren’t expecting so we dived into that on night 1. Beautiful scenes from our window of a beautiful floral filled field.

Little to no food available. There’s a fridge which was super handy but, unless you like Indian food (which is on the same grounds as the lodge) there’s basically nothing to order in for dinner (Uber eats etc all had nothing in them). There’s some pubs a short drive away but I didn’t want to sit in a pub with my 4 year old so we had chips and naan bread from the Indian on the first night, second night we just ate fruit and crisps that we had packed for the drive! On our second night we had super noisy neighbours (that or the walls are super thin? I’m not sure). It sounded like their TV was basically in the room with us and they kept stomping up and down the hallway at 11pm (not late for most but for us, a mother and 4 year old, it was really disturbing).

The property was a perfect location for peppa pig world, it has a lovely Indian and local pub for amazing food next door and close by, recommended to us on check in, had a portable air con which was perfect in this heat, everything was self explanatory and property was very clean and tidy, beds were comfy and staff very friendly and would recommend this property.

There was a very noisy family above us, kids were allowed to run around and bang about, however this was absolutely no fault of the owners which is why this hasn’t affected our rating.

Extremely comfortable stay. Our room was nicely appointed with everything we needed for a one night stop over. The property is clean, tidy and great value for money. We were late on our estimated arrival time and I missed the text message instruction on how to get in - but the owner came to our rescue! Thank you!! Top Tip - There is an "In-Excess" garden centre a few hundred yards down the road that do a lovely freshly cooked breakfast for £8.95!

We liked it all. It was perfect for what we needed.

Great location, lovely big room which backed onto field, nice that tea, coffee and bottled water were provided, clean and had all the basics, staff were really communicative and all information provided was clear. Really nice and warm when we got there as heating had been left on for us which was really appreciated.

Paper thin walls, you could hear everything your neighbours were doing... The bed wasn't the comfiest.

Excellent place to stay in quiet part of the New Forest, coutryside veiws, unexpected small communal area with tables and microwave. Excellent indian restaurant next door and very good choice of breakfast at garden centre a minutes drive away.

The room was nicely decorated and clean, the beds were comfortable, both rooms had a bath, bliss. The lady who let us in was very nice, helpful and welcoming. The WiFi was good and the Indian restaurant next door was excellent and good value for money. There's a very nice garden centre just down the road where you can get a good value breakfast from 9am.

I can't think of anything.

very clean and comfortable. All facilities provided to cook toast or microwave meals. Plates and cutlery also supplied. Room has a fridge and tea making facilities. Although on a very busy road you could not hear it in our room. With in walking distance to a lovely and very friendly pub. Only about 2 min walk. Also a great garden centre about 5 mins drive away with a Lovely cafe and very friendly staff as well as great food.
