Very late check in - post 5pm, which meant we could not get in our apartment or use any faciities, so hung around reception with the kids. The apartment is a great size, but issues with blocked (dust) extracts and left over wrappers from previous guests. The accomodation though is so tired and dated - like something out of the 90's and not 4 star quality or worth over £200 a night. Needs full modernisation, floors, lighting, furniture, bathrooms and kitchen

The room was very cold, with no heating. The staff did provide an extra duvet and a portable heater.The heating was still not on the next day. Also no fires or atmosphere in the bar and main lounge area The water temperature in the shower was tepid. No tissues or biscuits were provided in the room due to my having made the booking through the resort?!

Enjoyable stay. Really liked this hotel and would go back again. We particularly enjoyed the self catering lodge - very convenient if you have small children. The grounds and pool were a hit! Staff friendly and helpful. However, property is a bit dated, needs a refresh. Breakfast is expensive for what it is and we were a bit disappointed.

No food or bar after 9pm ? This is a hotel in the middle of nowhere. And for a very mediocre breakfast you have to follow a bizarre route to a soulless room by the gym. Very odd. Could do so, so much better.

Lovely property in a great locations we really enjoyed our stay. However the room we had in the old Manor House was a bit small and restricted by too much furniture. The shower an old in line electric water heater was difficult to use and as usual with these water pressure was limited. It would also have helped to have a small fridge.

A lovely trip to new forest. The hotel was very relaxed, good location & peaceful. The self catering suits were great size, but beds were uncomfortable & the pillows. Very clean & ideal for a long weekend trip. The SPA was very clean & relaxed. The restaurant was lovely & going above & beyond with dietry requirements. Lovely bar area & over all plesant stay.

Little things mean a lot
The shower is old and decrepit stepped into when it was warm it immediately became cold let it run from five minutes still cold so I had a cold shower and my wife didn't have a shower at all . The toilet was reluctant to flush and needed pushing several times . Room 33A was also next to the boilers for the whole building so I was woken by banging caused by in the pipes at 6 a.m. it stopped after a minute or so ,so we didn't complain. Probably a mistake because it came back in the evening louder and more persistent so reception sent an engineer. He suggested we pack up and move to another room. After we packed the banging stopped so we unpacked (partly) as we were leaving next day. Also because they were having difficulty finding us a room Lovely location fine grounds a good swimming pool but spoiled by poor room maintenance. I would recommend not accepting 33A in the Tudor house . I can't tell you about the rest of the hotel except it looked good from a distance. The staff were good and in some cases super helpful.
