Woodlands Lodge Hotel

Lovely big room (family suite), comfy beds, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast, plenty of parking. The negative would be that the room looked very tired. The carpet was really badly stained which is very off putting and the Lino in the bathroom also had suspect stains around the toilet. Both could do with replacing. Still enjoyed our 1 night stay though and it wouldn’t stop us returning.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Perfect location, nice big room &

Wonderful hotel in the New Forest - the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with our dog. The area is super quiet and right on the entrance to a lovely path in the forest. We would come back here!

Lovely location and surroundings. Staff were lovely and helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice. Room was nice, newly decorated. Bed was too soft for me and gave me backache. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned but neither of us used it anyway.

Property is in a superb location in the forest. Nice and quiet.

All went well, the bed was very comfortable.

We like to be able to dine with our dog & the shower for the dogs was brilliant the towels ; fleece provided in our room We have no dislikes this was our 4th visit we love the woodlands

Excellent service from the lovely receptionist, could not do enough to help.

Room was nice but could do with a better clean mould by basket in shower and cobwebs by the light where the vanity desk. BUT it wouldn't stop me going back the staff were friendly and so was the owner overall for the price of the room, it was a good 2 night break.

Staff really helpful. A nice place to stop.

Friendly staff, great location. Excellent food. Renovations taking place which I was not advised of before arrival until very late but stay still enjoyable.

Cosy place. Great staff. Will definitely stay again in new year.

Sadly this hotel needs a lot of work to be carried out to bring it up to a reasonable standard. It could be amazing in its location but sadly it isn’t. Overnight the heating wasn’t on & I can honestly say I have never felt so cold sleeping in a hotel ever, there was a small freestanding heater in the cupboard that could be used in addition to the central heating but this wasn’t safe to use overnight as one of the support feet was missing resulting in the hot heater having to rest on the electric cable & on the carpet, I was able to use this when awake but would not risk using this when trying to sleep as it’s a fire hazard. The heating in the bedroom came on at 7am but it took at least 30minutes for the radiator to get even slightly warm, the radiator in the bathroom only ever managed to get very slightly warm. The water pressure in the shower was very poor & the light over the shower cubicle wasn’t working so very dim light in the shower from the other lights in the bathroom. In the bedroom the bedside table had mirror fronted drawers which were badly cracked leaving very sharp edges which is dangerous if using these drawers. If this isn’t making for enough to put you off booking a stay here the rooms have little or no sound proofing so not only did I wake numerous times as I was so cold but woken by loud snoring coming from other rooms! The car park is large but is only a gravel/mud surface so be prepared to get muddy shoes & muddy wheels on your luggage.

Having seen the good reviews for this hotel it was a very disappointing stay. Hotel hard to find and arriving in the dark hardly any lights and car park muddy and pitted so not easy to even get in without breaking your neck. Outside appearance resembled neglected care home, though reception was pleasant and desk staff very friendly. Room ( apparently an upgrade!) was basic and grubby. TV socket coming off the wall and tv tiny. No light in bath room. Reported to reception told no maintenance available until following day so was given torch/ lamp that was not bright enough to use the bathroom to any great extent. Bed was hard with poor mattress. So far no contact or apology from hotel Manager. Will not return

Staff were really pleasant and very efficient

The hotel suits its rustic, natural setting. It has a laid back and relaxing vibe that we really appreciated.

I enjoyed my stay and the young lady on duty last night was exemplary, however, I spoke to someone last week about a ground floor room and was told I was booked into a ‘budget’ room on the ground floor so all good. When I arrived at the hotel unfortunately the ground floor room was out of action and I was put on the top floor. I have an extremely bad knee (awaiting surgery), there was no way I could have managed all those stairs. The lady on duty very kindly changed my room to the first floor and I think it was possibly a deluxe room rather than standard which was lovely but the fact I still had to use the stairs, which put me at great risk of falling that has reflected in my star rating. The meal I had was lovely, the chicken was cooked to perfection

Room lovely. Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast amazing!

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was large and clean with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom clean and nice toiletries. Evening meal excellent but disappointed with breakfast as no cold meat or cheese for the continental breakfast. Room does need some tlc though, large safe carpark and more than happy to stay here again. Would recommend.

Lovely location right on forest doorstep, access straight into forest.
