8/10 Good
"The hotel is a really nice old quaint building nestled in Lyndhurst. The staff are all really helpful and friendly, a special mention for the lovely Eila, I'm sorry if I spelt that wrong, she's a very pretty and happy Ukrainian lady working in the restaurant, and also to the mixologist behind the bar who was excellent in her job. The rooms are clean and well maintained, my only criticism is that they could have shaving mirrors in the bathrooms, they're quite dimly lit, and the only mirror is set back from the sink, so unless you have 20/20 vision it's a bit of a struggle shaving. The bar and restaurant areas are very welcoming, there's a lounge area and a library area, which both have a bit of a doctor's waiting room atmosphere, they could do with some stools at the bar, it's a much nicer place to have a drink and a chat with the staff , there's just a bit more atmosphere there as opposed to the other two rooms to sit with your drink. The breakfast is nice, it's not award winning, but there's enough choice for everyone. The food in the main restaurant in the evening is very overpriced for what you get, over £20.00 for a small gammon steak, and then a few more pounds to have chips with it. The fish and chips tasted of nothing, overall the food was bland and expensive with small portions. My entire stay was lovely apart from the dinners, but there's plenty of options in the high street for dinner, I'd definitely stay there again.."
