The room was simple but comfortable! The doors opened to a patio with the New Forest in view. I found the whole atmosphere was great. The staff were friendly too. The location was super.
Breakfast was not great. The scrambled egg was more like an omelette. I thought the bed mattress needed replacing. It was old. The extraction was broken in bathroom.

The room was spacious. it included a fridge and kitchen utensils. the shower delivered very hot water. we thoroughly enjoyed the sunday roast pork dinner on our first night. It was one of the best pub meals we have had. there was a generous portion size, appreciated after our walk.
the garden area could use some attention after the busy summer season, though i understand it is likely addressed later.
