Overall Ratings & Reviews The Filly Inn

A Truly Exceptional Weekend at The Filly Inn Our recent Friday to Sunday stay at The Filly Inn was nothing short of fantastic, and we departed feeling incredibly relaxed and well-cared for. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel truly welcome, and their dedication to hospitality shone through in every detail. The rooms were wonderfully comfortable, offering a perfect haven after a day of exploring. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches – the luxurious products provided and the delightful fresh cookies awaiting us in our room were a lovely surprise and indicative of the Inn's attention to guest comfort. The food was, quite simply, incredible. We ended up dining at the Inn two nights in a row, a testament to the consistently delicious and expertly prepared dishes. Complementing the superb cuisine was an equally impressive wine selection, offering something for every palate. There was even live music on Sunday afternoon providing the perfect end to our weekend. While every member of the team contributed to our wonderful experience, we must extend a special mention to Martyn, Lauren, and Alex. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine desire to ensure we had a perfect stay were evident throughout. Martyn, in particular, went above and beyond, making us feel genuinely valued guests. His exceptional service truly made our visit extra special and memorable.

lovely place with exceptional service, great food and good location. Will definitely be going back

The welcome I received was super and, from the get-go, all the staff were extremely happy to help in any way, possible. Martyn was a super star with nothing being too much trouble or inconvenient! I had the rather embarrassing situation of having my (company) credit card declined upon arrival however, with a simple smile and very pleasant attitude, Martyn waved away the immediate situation with a view that 'we can look at it again, tomorrow'. Unfortunately, the beer was too good and the room too comfortable for me to make evening dinner. 6 hours of driving pre-arrival also played a part. I certainly wish I had made dinner because the menu looked wonderful and the breakfast the following morning was simply exquisite! Warm croissants followed by a cooked breakfast didn't help my waistline but it certainly made me feel extremely content! Overall, and I commented the same when (thank goodness) my card worked the following morning, I will CERTAINLY be back once work brings me to this beautiful part of the UK once more.

A fab little inn. So pleased i found thus place to stay, situated on outskirts of Brockenhurst village. Welcomed by Manager Dave Hutton who explained everything we needed to know re booking in process, breakfast times and info regarding evening menus. Shown to room which was absolutely perfect and the little touches inc toiletries, home made cookies with wide range of teas/hot chocolate/water/milk in fridge. Nothing was to much trouble when speaking to sny of the staff. This is a dog friendly inn for dog lovers. Constructive criticism: May be an idea to put some type of air freshener/room scent on stair/corridor leading to rooms, purely as Non-doggy owners notice the very strong smell of dogs, particularly if the dogs have wet coats etc after walks.

Lovely location, high quality rooms, food is superb.

Our stay at the Filly was excellent. The room was clean the bed was huge and very comfy and the breakfast was delicious.Well worth the stay snd would definitely go again

When we checked in and went to the room, it was in the eaves which made it feel small and a bit claustrophobic. There were 2 Velux windows but they didn’t let in much light or air meaning it was quite stuffy. I asked if there were any rooms with windows but was told all rooms were in the roof due to building restrictions and it being a listed building. If I’d have known this, I wouldn’t have booked but there was nothing on the website to say this. The room look ok on the surface but was very dusty. We decided to we didn’t want to stay so got a refund and went and stayed somewhere else. It was a shame as the location was good and the pub looked nice.

Lovely staff and accommodated us despite the Expedia booking not feeding through to the hotel computer system which was incredibly embarrassing and stressful for me on arrival. Not the hotels fault but Expedias.

Lovely comfortable and welcoming place to stay and excellent food. Be wary of the low beams jn the room's if you are a tall person.

Was hoping to walk from the station the mile to the hotel but the road didn't have a footpath. Would have been good to know.

I enjoyed my stay here but I think it's just a bit overrated Room was lovely but very warm Food was good in parts but underwhelming in others. Basic things not hard to get right. 'Saute' potatoes swimming in fat, chips cheap and frozen.

Dave and Holly run a lovely inn. Perfect place to stay when in New Forest.

We had a fabulous stay. The room was lovely, clean, comfortable bed, fabulous food. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend staying hr.

Amazing food

Great staff and great rooms

We chose the Filly Inn after reading through previous reviews, it did not disappoint! Great service, great food, great drinks, great room. We stayed for one night the rooms come with everything you could need and more! The menu has such a great selection, so good it makes it hard to decide and makes you want to stay longer! The breakfast was top class as well! Such friendly staff too made it a perfect stay and would 100% go back

Lovely stay in a charming part of the new forest. The owner was wonderful and the breakfast we were served was so nice and made it feel very worth it to have stayed.

Great food and friendly staff. The room was cosy, comfortable and clean. However in mid January we were expecting the log fire to be on to keep us warm but it wasn’t which meant the bar and restaurant were pretty chilly!

Lovely stay with our toddler - great service from the staff, room nice and downstairs great for a bite to eat. Nice breakfast

The four night stay was fabulous will recommend it to friends and family, the staff were great.
