We have just come back from a long weekend in the New Forest, 2 nights of which were spent at Bartley Lodge Hotel. We had booked (admittedly at the last minute) for a 2-night, dinner, bed and breakfast break at a total of £320. The hotel did look impressive on arrival but that was where the feel-good factor ended. Our... more

Wow - we were looking for a quick one night stay at the very last minute!! - what we didn't expect was to find a little "Gem" As a family of four we found the hotel to be friendly and very accommodating. If you read some of the reviews on these sites people have commented unkindly about the rooms !... more

The hotel is a grade 2 listed building approached by a long drive through a forest, and it would seem to suggest an idyllic location. On entering the hotel I was greeted in a welcoming manner, but it was fairly obvious that the decor of the public areas of the hotel are very tired and in need of refurbishment. The... more

We have just returned from staying at the Hotel; fortunately, for us only 2 nights - whilst leaving elderly parents there for the week! We advised not to stay at this hotel, however, as parents had already booked; mainly due to its location, being close to Totton, we had no choice! We would definitely not stay at this hotel again!!!... more

Terrible experience. Arrived on Friday evening, car park filthy. Room so small that it was difficult to walk aroung the bed. I have stayed in a caravan with larger bedrooms. Sound proofing non existent felt next door was in our room.Couldn't face staying there for 2 nights so left and came home!. Did get a full refund. more

We were a little nervous about the Bartley Lodge Hotel as some of the reviews we had seen were a little negative. But we've just returned from a three day break, with our three children, over half term week and had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time. The staff all seemed very pleasant, service in the restaurant could be a... more

The drive leading to the Hotel promised great things. Our anticipation was further increased when we first set eyes on the building. The setting is also wonderful with a small but attractive garden area. The food at the wedding reception attended was very pleasant and the waiting staff seemed most professional. On the flip side, unfortunately, the room had not... more

Although, I didn't actually stay at this hotel I did attend a wedding reception. The food was excellent, unusual at many reception these days at hotels. It was a lovely venue for a reception, it has lovely grounds which unfortunately couldn't be used for photos due to the rain. A few friends of mine stayed and thought the rooms were... more

I recently attened a wedding at Bartley Lodge, I was impressed with the building as we arrived but this was shattered as I approached reception to check in. I was told very firmly to wait until she had time, not the best start. The room we were given which cost £130 was pathetic, it was very dated, tiny and the... more
