The hotel was in a great location for walking in the New Forest. It is right on the edge of the walk to Lyndhurst. Our room was very comfortable and kept clean and tidy for the duration of our stay. My only comment was that there was only a shower and no both - after a hard day's walk I... more

What a wonderful hotel!! We had Room 102, on the ground floor, with french doors that opened out into the garden. Was very worried after I read the reviews, and was wondering what we were letting ourselves in for, but all in all a super little hotel, staff very attentive (although some did have difficulty understanding English). more

i came from italy and was very scared by others bad reviews, almost willing to cancel the booking. on the contrary we (two young married couples) spent 4 fantastic days in august . the place is wonderful. the hotel is old and it's obviosusly a little tired in some parts, but it's greatly fascinating. i must add that staff, rooms... more

Booked by internet having read all the reviews but not finding anything with the same value/location combo. Had to smile when we were duly alloted .... you guessed it Room 22! Well I like to find out things for myself and yes, this room does get noise from the reception (in the morning) and to some lesser extent the bar... more

We booked this hotel for one night and whilst it is in a good location the external appearance was an immediate concern, peeling paint and a generally poor state. Our room was also far from suitable, curtains hanging off rails, stains on the carpet, mildew round the bath, noisey water pipes and an extremely hard and uncomfortable bed and furniture... more

Good location for touring the area.Pleasant garden. Pool not in use due to repairs being carried out. Room in new wing was clean and nicely furnished but shower in bathroom impossible to regulate! Broken remote for T.V. was rteported but nothing done to replace it. Hotel corridors were shabby,wallpaper falling off and paintwork in need of freshening up. The dinners... more

If you like the idea of sharing your room with the late night revellers in the bar then try the strangely named premier room number 22. Located on the landing above the reception and bar area and separated only by a poor fitting door you can experience the noise until the very last person heads off to bed in the... more

Although I agree with the comments about the premier rooms,we were lucky and arrived earlier than a lot of the other guests,and our very helpful receptionist showed us two other rooms and we were able to choosea room with a refurbished bathroom and flatscreen TV. The room and general impression from the hotel was very clean, staff very friendly and... more

just returned from 2 day break at forest park hotel, despite previous reviews, we had a wonderfull time, room was a little dated but the location and staff certainly made up for this, we would certainly have no hesitation about going back more
