This traditional B&B is situated along side a very busy and noisy main road. The proprietor welcomed us at the front door and proceeded to give the fastest check-in I’ve ever encountered … fine by me. The room was “cosy”, clean with plenty of hot water and strong WiFi. You have to order Breakfast the night before (excellent as it cuts down waste/cost). It was cooked freshly in the morning, nice and crispy, how I like it, no grease at all. We paid a good price for this comfortable stop-over. Get there early as there are only 2 car parking spaces between 3 rooms. Also take your earplugs as the traffic noise is constant throughout the night.

Friendly owners who made me feel welcome. Room clean, well equipped and nicely decorated with a comfy bed and great shower that had a strong water flow. Breakfast was delicious and the location is very convenient as is the parking. Nice and quiet at night too.

Superb B&B in Lyndhurst run by Nick and Judith who are so helpful and friendly. Immaculately clean, spacious room. I had asked for a quiet room and it was perfect. Breakfasts delicious and plentiful. One of the best places we have stayed. Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend and would love to return.

Avalon House is one of the very best B&Bs in the area. The rooms are immaculate, extremely comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Nick and Judith greet you with a warm welcome and make sure that you have everything you need from a well-stocked in-room tea tray with fresh, yes fresh, milk to offering advice about where to go for your evening meal. The breakfast choice is amazing and the cooked breakfasts are delicious and extremely well cooked. In fact, we use the breakfasts at Avalon House as our benchmark when rating others. Nick and Judith are naturally friendly people and clearly enjoy hosting guests at this superb B&B. We are regular visitors to Lyndhurst and would not stay anywhere else when visiting the New Forest. Thank you Nick and Judith for doing what you do.

Avalon House is in a great location, just a 5 minute walk in to the picturesque centre of Lyndhurst village, where there are plenty of shops, bars & restaurants, & it is also in a good spot for visiting Paultons Park, which is only a 12 minute drive away. Judith & Nick were lovely welcoming hosts, they emailed the day before to check arrival times and ask our names. The whole B&B was spotlessly clean. The two rooms we had booked were perfect for us, both with king sized beds. One had an ensuite shower room & the other a bath which was great as we were travelling with a 5yr old who likes to bath. They even had fans in the rooms which were much needed as it was warm weather. Tea & coffee with fresh milk was provided in our rooms, also good Wifi & Netflix if wanted too. The cooked breakfast was yummy (with larger portions if required) & set us up well for the day. We had a great 2 night stay at Avalon House & we would definitely book to stay again. Thank you!…

Hi Kaz, and thank you so much for your fabulous review! Its always nice to hear from our guests when we get things right for them. And the fact that you appreciated all the facilities and services Avalon House has to offer was an added bonus. It was a real pleasure to host you, Greg, Carrie and of course, little Leo. Unfortunately, children rarely stay with us so we try to make the most of it when they do! We hope that you had an enjoyable time on the Isle of Wight, and look forward to welcoming you once again. Best wishes, Nick and Judith
