Peaceful and quiet setting I stayed Mon-Fri so can't speak for the busier periods but massive grounds well maintained with extremely attentive, caring and friendly staff members including the Tudor bar staff which were very welcoming upon every visit well done. My room was clean and tidy if in need of an update such a shame because the room had such an outstanding view it could be so much more. Still I had a fantastic 5day stay thank you.

#### It does the job
We stayed in west court cottage and it had all amenities. Oven, microwave, dishwasher and pots/pans. It could benefit from more cleaning and refurbishment. Not sure if the style was meant to be retro but I would like a new carpet, curtains and bed cover. The inside pool was not bad. BEDBUGS were an issue. They had a feast on me and my family.

We were wowed by the size of the accommodation, but the furnishings and decor was very dated (1980s). In addition the carpet was very unclean which made us worry what else was not clean. It was almost impossible to use the oven as all the temperature markings and oven settings has worn off. We guessed. The property could be really amazing with a bit of updating and thorough cleaning. The leisure facilities were nice and not nearly as rundown as the block we were in.

Enjoyable stay. Really liked this hotel and would go back again. We particularly enjoyed the self catering lodge - very convenient if you have small children. The grounds and pool were a hit! Staff friendly and helpful. However, property is a bit dated, needs a refresh. Breakfast is expensive for what it is and we were a bit disappointed.

#### Peaceful getaway
A lovely trip to new forest. The hotel was very relaxed, good location & peaceful. The self catering suits were great size, but beds were uncomfortable & the pillows. Very clean & ideal for a long weekend trip. The SPA was very clean & relaxed. The restaurant was lovely & going above & beyond with dietry requirements. Lovely bar area & over all plesant stay.

The room was very cold, with no heating. The staff did provide an extra duvet and a portable heater.The heating was still not on the next day. Also no fires or atmosphere in the bar and main lounge area The water temperature in the shower was tepid. No tissues or biscuits were provided in the room due to my having made the booking through the resort?!

The hotel grounds and swimming / gym facilities were good. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment which was very dated in decor, not that clean especially the bedroom / bed and cushions / curtains in living area. Sloping ceilings not great to sit up in bed which was under a window. In need of improvement. We sat in the Tudor bar for dinner one night - again a bit dated. Car parking spaces v narrow. Food was nice. Staff friendly. Nice location.

Patio area to the front of suite19 was very often used for parking so outlook was poor. The smell from the waste pumping tanker was on 2 days of our visit so Patio area could not really be used much, and attracted used coffee cups and cotton buds from somewhere. Shame really as the suite is very spacious a bit shabby but plenty of room.

#### Lovely location, needs some updated
Room was lovely complete with all needed amenities however very outdated. Staff were lovely but struggled to meet basic requests. Had paid for high chair usage on arrival, high chair failed to arrive for first 2 days despite chasing this up, when it event arrived it was filthy with Totton food on the harness and underside. Contacted reception who apologised and informed me at by another one would be sent up, 3 days later still no highchair. Than on checkout they attempted to charge me again for the highchair I was never given. Breakfast was below par, waited 40mins for 2 full English charged at £20pp, food was disproportionate to price charged (see photo). Whilst waiting you could hear the chef swearing and complaining about the number of people eating at the restaurant, which to add is pre booked. Tried to discuss issues with waiters once it eventually arrived but all the waiting staff had left and for obvious reasons was not going to approach the chef. Discussed this with reception on discharge and we’re told that they would have a word with the chef (what use is that to use after our 4 year old spent 20mins asking why the man behind the screen was so upset). Expected a better service for the price, maybe staff should have considered closing the restaurant due to exceptional circumstances. Kids throughly enjoyed the pool and location was lovely for walks and bird watching. Despite issues express would definitely consider returning with own highchair this time.

This property is outdated and old fashioned, needing prompt refurbishment. Location was great for the ferry and bus tour and i cannot comment on the hotel or all the self catering units. However if you are given one of rhe cottages, be prepared to step back intot 1940s. Our had a leak which was luckily fixed promptly but was definitely not a 4 star accommodation.

#### Difficult to know what to say good and bad
Difficult to know what to say. Apartment spacious, excellent amenities, very clean but unfortunately in dire need of a refurbishment. Dingy walls, yellow chipped paintwork, double glazed units blown, kitchen plinth kept falling down on my feet. If you can see by the tired look of the place you can’t beat it. Staff always friendly and helpful, great position next to ferry but too far out of town for us. Having said all this I would stay there again

Location was great and loved that we had our own apartment which was good value. However, during our stay, there were a couple of prom events that we weren’t informed about. When queried, the response was an email was sent, which I never received as I booked through a third party. I would have expected a better notification for the guests staying there, such as possibly a notice at the front desk. The hotel manager, was in the lobby one evening, where his guests were staying and instead of asking the guest how their stay was, or the reason for the visit, he was only interested in the people associated with the prom. The reason for this trip was a friends birthday, which was mentioned. Booked the afternoon tea, no extra goodwill gesture was offered, such a piece of birthday cake or an extra glass of champagne. The service during the afternoon tea, was disappointing. Initial order was placed and the service took quite some time and trying to get anyone’s attention was a challenge. Appreciate there was people in the bar and staff were attending to those guests too, but maybe more staff are required. Overall was a good stay and would return, just disappointed with the lack of attention to detail.

Its ok. Just ok. The most unusual thing about this hotel is a 5pm check in and a 10am check out time. I travel almost weekly for work and this is the only hotel i’ve ever known with these hours. The main house is beautiful and the grounds are generally lovely although they need regular litter picking. Most of the accommodation is in “new” blocks that are run down and in need of some TLC. (see pictures). The SPA could also do with a revamp but is, at present, acceptable and as described. The rooms are fine - again a little dated. Ours had a patio area which again was in need of sprucing up and a jet wash. The Window to our room had blown and the meant we couldn’t enjoy the view. The bedding quality is not great and the pillow cover opening is in the middle which means if your pillow turns over in the night, your face is touching the actual pillow - sounds picky but it freaked me out. Elemis toiletries are a nice touch but only a tiny bottle for shampoo and shower gel for two people for two nights. No conditioner, no lotion or balm. We didn’t have our room cleaned whilst we there - not sure why but didn’t see any signs telling us otherwise etc. Location is great for Lymington to Yarmouth ferry - literally 5 minute walk. Nothing felt luxury here. It wasn’t bad but i doubt i would be back or recommend it to friends.

#### Beautiful but very tired room
The grounds are beautiful and the reception staff were lovely. Slightly disappointed with the accommodation as it was very tired and dirty. It was also in an outbuilding and not the main hotel. Again, in dire need of modernisation.

Really pleased with our stay in the studio apartment. The apartment was roomy, was clean, had everything we needed, and exceeded our expectations at the price point. The hotel is walkable into Lymington, and has easy access to the rest of the New Forest. Great stay.

Very late check in - post 5pm, which meant we could not get in our apartment or use any faciities, so hung around reception with the kids. The apartment is a great size, but issues with blocked (dust) extracts and left over wrappers from previous guests. The accomodation though is so tired and dated - like something out of the 90's and not 4 star quality or worth over £200 a night. Needs full modernisation, floors, lighting, furniture, bathrooms and kitchen

The hotel was amazing, we loved the Manor House feel. The food in the restaurant was lovely and a recommendation wine was perfect with our beef.
