Dinner menu in restaurant was limited, but everything else was great. Staff were all helpful and pleasant, room was spacious and had a bath and shower seperate. Car park was right outside main door and also had over flow car park so had plenty of parking which was included with room booking.

Room was clean, friendly staff, breakfast was fine but expensive, plenty parking space. Nice quiet location. Close to forest and City.
The hotel is an older building and a bit worn around the edges but it was fine for the two nights we were there, and a reasonable price compared to hotels in the area. A nice garden area.
The room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed.
The staff were pleasant and helpful at all times.
Parking was good.
The only gripe that let it down was the restaurant, particularly the continental breakfast which consisted of fat free yoghurts, granola and sliced bread - no pastries, no croissants, no meats, no small fruits. The English breakfast was good.

Had to wait to check in, but staa very friendly. Room was okay. Evening dinner was below average. I ordered the special nothing to write home about.
Parking is easy
Room immaculate
Staff amazing
Building full of character and so so well looked after
I sat in the garden with a drink watching the sun dip behind the trees in the distance and honestly could have been anywhere in the world, there was just perfect.
Used this on a recent business trip while working at Southampton General Hospital which was close by. Lovely hotel, great evening meal, comfortable and peaceful room. Excellent surroundings too. Lovely.
The staff were amazing, helpful and very wonderful. My wife and I really enjoyed our time there. The room was great but the bed mattress is a bit old. We would definitely return.
Lovely
Very pleasant stay. V good hotel and excellent value.
Only disappointment was there was an incredibly noisy family (shouting and screaming) next to my room and the sound went straight through the walls/ceiling until about midnight and then kicked off again at 3am - but obviously not the hotel's fault.

Great location, staff were friendly.
Room wasn’t cleaned very well so we came back to dirty cups, wet and stained surfaces and only a partially made bed after our day out.
Generally the rooms were nice but no soundproofing, you can hear talking from rooms above and extractor fan going on etc

2nd visit and would stay again..Both times reception staff were excellent and wrlcoming.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Small attention to details noted - a radiator that was hung very unevenly in our room (eye catching, long term dust build-up on the headboard, staining/drips/splashes on walls next to the toilet and 2 broken windows in 'attic' windows (not what you expect to see when you first arrive at this otherwise beautiful building). The positives - generally clean and tidy in the communal areas and in our room, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had great dining and bar areas with a decent selection of options on their menu. The crowning jewel is the hotels location in relation to the New Forest and Southampton central.
