Couldn’t fault it if we’d tried.
Absolutely amazing stay at the White Buck for a weekend getaway. The service was terrific, the food, the drinks, the room, everything was spot on. We will definitely return and will also recommend - this is a pub done right.

Came down for a wedding nearby and stayed at the white buck. The location in the new forest is lovely. The room was lovely, clean and well equipped. The food was delicious (surf and turf) The staff were all very helpful throughout. Dawn and Julie made getting up for breakfast a pleasure.
Little touches like the milk in the fridge upstairs really did it for me as i love cold milk. Will defo be returning for a longer visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the white buck. The hotel rooms were spacious and quiet with good amenities. An amazing shower!
Enjoyed the bar area with board games. Only downside was the quality of the food. It had good potential but just not cooked well. Although they were really good with allergies.

The hotel is lovely and so is the pub garden and location. What spoilt it for us were the attitude of the senior staff on both the Saturday and Sunday. On two occasions we were over charged for someone else’s drinks and on both occasions we were made to feel like we were trying to get out of paying for a round of drinks when we had either paid already (and showed them the receipts for) or someone else’s drinks had been allowed to be added to our room. Spoilt what was supposed to be a birthday weekend

A perfect stay
We had a lovely stay here. So Christmassy but even other times of year so cosy felt homely. Reception was very welcoming room was decorated lovely and really felt like a retreat away from it all. Fires and Christmas trees . We ate in the restaurant and all the food was hot and delicious. Location was very central for village visits and walks it was tough to choose whether to go out for walks or just stay in the hotel and relax. We are already planning our next trip back

Mid week getaway
Lovely peaceful hotel with great decor. The room was up in the eves and really nice. We liked the touches, like the complimentary bottle of beer, coffee and chocolates. We also had a really nice meal in the restaurant. A lovely stay
