Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location for those visiting Paultons Park with spacious rooms, but noise from the restaurant function suite below could be disturbing. The service is excellent for dog owners, though some issues with bathroom amenities were noted. The dining experience was good but lacked certain basic items. Overall, a convenient option in a bustling location for visitors exploring the New Forest area.
The hotel had a great size room, but the generator was excessively hot, and opening a window only let hot air in from nearby air conditioning units. The music from the function room was a downside. The service was friendly and helpful, particularly Christine, but there were delays in getting drinks. The location was convenient for various attractions, although it could get noisy early. The dining experience was good overall, and the facilities were cozy.
The hotel had some mixed experiences. The rooms were shockingly uncomfortable, especially the four-poster bed, partly due to staffing issues. On the bright side, the service was lovely, and the restaurant staff were pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect for visiting Paultons Park. However, the overall dinginess of the furniture brought down the location score. The dining experience was hit or miss with high-quality food but spoiled by awful coffee. The facilities were average.
