I found the hotel to be conveniently located, perfect for visiting the New Forest, Salisbury, or Southampton areas. The rooms were spacious, although some debris from refurbishments could be seen. The service was a bit lacking in terms of communication but overall satisfactory. The dining experience was delightful with a great selection, and the facilities were well-kept.

The hotel was a mixed bag with some positives like a friendly atmosphere and comfortable cleanliness, but the outdated and smelly rooms gave off more of a hostel vibe than a hotel. The service was polite and welcoming, although there were some issues with the room configurations. The location was suitable for specific needs, but cleanliness was lacking in some areas. The dining experience was decent but could have offered more variety. Overall, it's a rustic British pub with potential but needs some improvements.

The rooms were in need of a refit, with mismatched furniture and old twin beds instead of a double.

My stay at the hotel was a mixture of positives and negatives. The rooms were excellent, lacking nothing and very functional, but they were a bit small and lacked a wardrobe. Unfortunately, the noise during the night was quite bothersome. The service was fair to good with helpful and polite staff, but their response to morning complaints was lacking. The location was perfect for our needs, although the handling by the staff was badly done. The dining experience was good, except for limited choices, and the facilities were basic but functional.
