“This three-star accommodation places you squarely in Lyndhurst, a perfect spot for New Forest explorations, and boasts its own private parking-a definite plus. It strikes me as exceptionally dog-friendly, where four-legged guests can expect a warm welcome; the recent renovations completed in May 2023 should appeal to any traveller who likes modern amenities. That's why I think it is an independently owned hotel that balances its village charm with a convenient location.”

The allocated room faced the front. Constant traffic noise disturbed my sleep. People staying above were noisy (i suspect a family), waking me up early each morning.

the staff were very friendly.

The room was not very soundproof at all. i could clearly hear the tv and conversations of the couple next door and in the hallway. the mattress was old. It was very uncomfortable with collapsed springs. it should be replaced.
