Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had the Cassoulet. This contained 2 small sausages, a few butter beans and no duck whatsoever (at least neither of us found any duck). For £18.50 each this was to say the least disappointing. We do not plan to visit this pub / restaurant...any time soon.More

What a little gem this place is! Hannah and Ryan who run the pub with rooms could not be more welcoming. I came with my parents and sister and we had two rooms. Both were really lovely - modern, clean, light, everything you would want...and more. Even some home made shortbread to welcome us! Great location, right on the edge of the New Forest and only a mile from Lymington and the coast. Food was excellent. We ended up eating there both evenings and had two breakfasts : all the food was wonderful, generous, beautifully prepared, great quality and very tasty! The staff there couldn't do enough for us, it really made our time away special.More

This is our third time here at the Walhampton Arms. As always we enjoyed the lovely food and friendly staff. Tender roast and fabulous gravy. It has been a coincidence that we have arrived during an international rugby season and again have had fun discussing...the games with the knowledgeable bar staff.More

Met up with friends for Sunday lunch none of us had been here before and thought it looked really nice when we got there. We were shown to our table and ordered some drinks. When the barman delivered the drinks they were just plonked all...together on the table which was unusual. We had asked for a jug of water which didn’t arrive. Eventually we had our order taken for food and once again requested some water. We got our food (carvery which was really nice) and still no water. We then asked again for the water and the waitress said she had asked the barman so didn’t know why we hadn’t got it (seemed she wasn’t allowed to fetch it). It then arrived a little while later. After our main course had been cleared away (by the barman) we waited ages to hopefully be offered a dessert menu. We eventually had to ask a member of staff to see one as weren’t offered. Once again we sat there for ages with our dessert menu and no one asked for our order. We then asked a staff member if we could order dessert and he just walked off, then returned very irate saying we had demanded dessert and he was just a bar man helping out. At first we thought he was joking, but he was deadly serious and quite aggressive saying we had demanded him to take the order. This was now well after 3pm and we arrived at 1:30. Suddenly we all lost our appetite for dessert as his rudeness didn’t make us feel welcome. We decided to leave. Told the waitress when paying what had happened who got the manageress, who was very apologetic and did offer a discount which we declined. Such a shame as the food was good, service was slow considering the number of people in there. We wouldn’t recommend people not to go there - just think we were unlucky with our lack of service and the rude barman. Heard the people on the table next to us when clearing away (by the manageress) getting asked if everything was ok and if they wanted to see the dessert menu so think we were just unfortunate in our experience.More

Beautiful place and quality food at a reasonable price Great service and hosts super friendly Dogs were made to feel really welcome which is so important when we go somewhere new. This is definitely a dog friendly pub rather than many that just say they...are It is so important for our woofers to be as comfortable as we are when we go out This place ticked all the boxes for us Best place we have eaten for a long timeMore

We were very disappointed with the standard of cleanliness. The grouting in the shower was black and the dining room could do with a spring clean. It certainly didn’t warrant the price. Having said that the staff were very welcoming and friendly

Good overnight stay if you are catching a ferry over to the IOW. Just under a mile from the ferry terminal. Very old coaching inn. Accomodation was separate to pub in what I imagine would have been outbuildings of some kind many years ago. They...have been tastefully modernised with good clean accomodation, a very comfortable Queen size bed and fabulous welcome homemade shortcake. We travelled with our dog so this accomodation with its own front door was ideal. Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice for cooked breakfast but the buffet was limited to cereal, fruit juice and banana and apples. To be fair the cooked breakfast was lovely and the cafetiere of coffee stayed hot. (I hate cold coffee). There is no pavement to walk to Lymington which is a shame but obviously not the fault of the pub. Lymington is a lovely town and marina and well worth a visit.More
