My husband originally booked to stay in Bournemouth but on arrival we had so many problems that we left! We drove along the coast road which showed many B & Bs with no vacancies. Almost giving up hope and deciding to go back home we drove through Lyndhurst and saw the sign which said there were rooms available. The receptionist... more

We stayed for a night in April and found this hotel to be perfectly adequate. We stayed in the back so as to avoid the traffice noise, the room was very large and nicely furnished and the bathroom was enormous and very clean. The hotel does creak a bit because of its age, but really wasnt a problem. We were... more

Please do ignore the doom and gloom type reviews on this website, some people just love complaining! We found this hotel to be quite lovely with clean rooms and good food! There was a small mix up with our booking but the manager graciously upgraded us and gave us free drinks to compensate! A very enjoyable stay and we would... more

Unlike other posters here - we found nothing about The Crown at Lyndhurst to praise!!!! Everything creeks and I mean everything, from opening the wardrobe door to the bathroom door, the bed-head was insecure and constantly banged against the wall, there was "nasty" woodchip wallpaper used as draw liners! unbelievable and basically just walking up and down the room ,... more

I stayed at the Crown last week for a wedding. The room was very comfortable. Clean, tidy, comfortable and had a good sized bathroom and excellent shower. The decor in the room was in keeping with what I would expect in a country hotel. The room did lack the benefit of a ceiling fan or aircon, but the hotel also... more

I have always found a warm friendly welcome when I have stayed at this quaint old hotel, yes some of the floors and doors do creak a little bit but I prefer that to the modern plastic hotels that are lifeless. The quality of the food has always been good and the service excellent. Many of the guests who like... more

probably the worst experience i have ever had on every level - the hotel stank of stale bacon fat, the bedroom was freezing cold through the night with no extra blankets provided and the bathroom had mold in the shower - and for the bargain price of £120 a night - there is nothing good that i can say about... more

I agree with other comments the staff where good and they made the difference. E.G. we asked if they knew somewhere we could watch football match on TV in town but they didn’t so offered us one of their rooms. They said they will put a TV and chairs in the room and that it was next to the bar... more

We stayed for the weekend at the Crown in late June. While we werent actually at the hotel very much, when we were we were met with personal and friendly staff at the bar and reception. After we checked out on the Sunday, we struggled to find somewhere in Lyndhurst to find somewhere to watch the Wimbledon Tennis final and... more
