Location: Close proximity to Lyndhurst and forest paths

Pet-Friendly: Welcoming environment for dogs

“From what I gather, it's a place with dedicated staff, particularly in the dining area, and its location is ideal for exploring New Forest. However, some aspects, like the maintenance of cleanliness in rooms and bathrooms, seem inconsistent. While the team strives to offer a positive experience with its dog-friendly initiatives and spa, improvements in some areas could elevate the stay.”
