Great little hotel in the New Forest. Room was in the eaves, so styled but not high ceilings. Lovely bed and bedding and the most helpful staff. Fab stay for one night with friends. Will stay again.

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Unfortunately the stay was ruined by a party taking place at the venue and the noise was way too loud. I have stayed at the hotel before when they have held wedding receptions and they do forewarn you when these are happening, but it was never as bad as this. It was impossible to relax in the room, let alone sleep so I decided to leave at 9pm

Nice hotel but take earplugs!
Nice hotel, a little shabby around the edges in places but nothing serious, just an old building. Room was lovely, overlooking gardens, bathroom was great, lovely a spacious, bed was comfy and huge. Breakfast was delicious and drinks at the bar were good but expensive. Two things let it down for me, one the soundproofing between rooms was shocking, the people in the room next to us were not being overly loud but we could hear them all night. It's not the hotel's fault that they talked and laughed all night, literally all night, but it did not make for a relaxing stay. Other thing was the availability of general items at breakfast, no yoghurt, no pastries, no bread, no glasses for juice. The cooked breakfast that was ordered was delicious but sometimes you want a slice of toast too! Considering everyone is asked what time they would like to have breakfast, it was disappointing that they weren't more prepared. Otherwise it was a nice place

Very enjoyable weekend break
Lovely stay, staff were very helpful. Beautiful hotel. Breakfast was excellent - tasty and varied. Dinner was good, albeit quite expensive. Only slight negative was that there was quite a lot of noise from a wedding party on Saturday evening, until midnight. Would recommend and would definitely come again.

Disappointing
Lovely hotel in beautiful setting. Shame you have to stipulate breakfast time, fit you in when suits them. Woke up early and had to hang around. Restaurant not good lovely staff doing their best but not enough of them. Long waits for food which wasn’t good when it did arrive. Even cheese & biscuits wrong - stale crackers!

Beautiful county Hotel
Beautiful hotel I would recommend to stay there but I stayed in room 23 and a few doves have settled on the flat roof above I was up with doves at sunrise. I did recommend the hotel staff maybe stay in the room to understand the disruption this causes to a paying guest… but got quite a blank response - highly recommend this hotel do not settle with room 23! Also book dinner we got there and there was no room for dinner.

Great location for New Forest
Burley Manor is great location for exploring New Forest. The manor is a grand old building with great views. The decor is a bit tired in rooms but the setting more than makes up for this.

Mixed feelings
The room was spacious, if a little mixed up decor wise. Modern electrics, great coffee maker, nice bed; but Victorian wardrobe and hideous purple paint in the bathroom! The staff were very good, but the restaurant over lit and characterless. Food was good and again service was fine, but wine list didn’t make sense price wise. I knew several of the wines on offer, and some had a mark up of 2.5 times which you expect, but others had one on 4 times supermarket prices. Nothing wrong with the place, but we would not go back.

Good New Forest option
It was better than anticipated as didn’t have huge expectations from reading previous reviews. The public rooms were cosy and breakfast had enough options. I did ask for well cooked poached eggs but they were runny so I couldn’t eat them. The Wifi didn’t work in my room on any of my devices so that was disappointing. Hopefully they will paint the window trim and fix some of the wear and tear in the bathroom to make it more appealing. I liked the refillable water bottles but a biscuit jar when we still have COVID?!

Great country retreat. Well priced, friendly staff, in the heart of nature - what’s better than a G&T outside while watching the deer roam in front of you!

Beautiful location, but room disappointing.
Beautiful location and stunning building. Sitting outside on the terrace was the best part. Bar staff weren't particularly great, unless you like more ice than drink! Room was a little tired, not as clean as expected, food was ok but overrated. Carpet and decor on corridors very worn. Most of the building looks very tired apart from what you see on entrance/ground floor. Expensive for what it is. Room was disappointing as we stayed in a deluxe room which wasn't really deluxe.

Lovely stay
Its incredible to be watching deer in such a peaceful, beautiful setting, whilst enjoying a cocktail! The hotel and grounds were lovely, however our room was way too hot and stuffy and we slept so badly, we didn't have breakfast included but were told we were unable to order a proper coffee the next morning which is a shame before a long journey. The pool was a lovely addition, however it isnt heated as advertised and much colder than nearby sea.
