Lovely place to explore the new forest
This is a lovely place and the pub I see great. The food is very good and the garden lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
My only issue is that our room was over the kitchen and so was incredibly hot and stuffy. Had a fan but this didn't really do much.
Overall a lovely stay just wish the room was cooler.

All as good as it could be in a very old building.
We enjoyed the stay but a few things stopped a great stay. Not sure the hotel could have done much about them however.
Room was almost unbearably hot even with a fan going all night. Bathroom had nowhere to put anything but again the space was utilised to the max.
Staff were lovely and the food was plentiful.
Would stay in the cooler months again.

Great country get away
We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are modern and really clean and the Inn itself is right in the heart of the forest which was so accessible for all walks. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the breakfast was brilliant and huge! Would totally recommend.

An 18th Century pub, loads of character and staff were very friendly. Parking is a problem at the pub, however there is parking on the road which is well utilised. Breakfast was included, plenty of choice and a huge full English if you are doing a long walk! We stayed in the superior room which looked like it was newly refurbished and spacious.

Had a great, restful, couple of days at the New Forest Inn. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great side of traditional character. The food and drinks are great and they have a good range of vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. The deserts are a definite highlight! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We will be back in the future.

Gorgeous New Forest Inn
This is a pub with a difference, a traditional old New Forest Inn with interesting decor. Also charming New Forest ponies visit daily and stand and watch while you have a beer.
All the staff are friendly and happy and provide great service, nothing seemed too much trouble. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities and toiletries.
Situated in the heart of the forest just outside Lyndhurst (20 min walk away) its extremely peaceful.
The food on offer is high end pub grub with a few specials thrown in and you certainly won't go hungry. The breakfast selection is very good and the New Forest Breakfast will last you all day, no matter how far you're going to walk.
We stayed 2 nights and would have stayed longer if we could.
Highly recommended however bear in mind this is an old pub with rooms not a swanky 5 star hotel, but the people who work there warrant that rating.
The food was amazing! We had dinner there and found it delicious. Plus, the breakfast was fab too. The rooms were cosy and bed comfortable. Enjoyed our stay very much. Service was great too!
