We recently stayed at The Three Lions in Fordingbridge and had a really lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and relaxed, making it a perfect getaway for the two of us. One of the highlights of our stay was having our own private hot tub. It was such a great touch and made the whole trip feel extra special—ideal for unwinding and enjoying some quiet time together. In the morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return. It’s a charming spot with thoughtful touches that made our visit memorable.

We loved our stay at the Three Lions. From start to finish the service, food, peace & quiet, menu choices, cleanliness, comfort and environment were perfect. The hot tub was perfect too and we had the best weather of the year which just topped it off!

Hot tub perfect Breakfast delicious Staff very polite Lovely room but could do with the plug hole in the bathroom sink replacing. Very rusty, doesn’t look too pleasant. A seat cover on the outside seat would make it more comfortable

Arrived with a rushed check in .. used the hot tub and then it all went down hill .. dirty ashtray with cigarette butts floating in water and someone else's hair tie and cork on decking, dirty cushions, no table so old fridge put in stained and dirty mouldy inside and not on, kettle with stagnant water, TV not plugged in so had to pull out furniture and crawl on floor to sort this with thick layer of dust on TV cabinet. Stained towel rail, rubbish left in bedside cabinet ... Moved room . Agreed reluctantly to stay to have a mediocre meal and get back to the room with a bed covered in fly's hopping around, ended up checking out and driving home the one and half hour. No real apology, refunded but still charged for a curry that was in fact diced roast beef in a curry gravy no onions or sauce as such, onion rings that tasted of fat so left a watery coleslaw and a coronation prawn cocktail that was bland. Definitely never again. For £117 it was filthy and disappointing.

We just had one night stay wishing to relax and decompress. It was perfect. Quiet, the room was lovely and warm (easy to adjust temperature to our own preference), our own hot tub to relax in, fabulous breakfast. Shower lovely and powerful, plenty of towels. Such a lovely stay. Thank you

Everything was as it should be. No complaints.

Amazing little stay really nice place lovely staff will 100% go back

Wonderful hospitality, comfy room & delicious dinner, would definitely come again

Room was lovely, hot tub was great, all staff we encountered were friendly and the food (dinner and breakfast) was fantastic

Lovely gem in the New Forest. Food exc, room clean, outdoor areas. Dog friendly

Surrounding area was wonderful really lovely surroundings staff were always very friendly and the rooms very comfy plus we had one with a hot tub so was brilliant to relax , food was amazing definitely recommend the menu

Fabulous staff great food lovely and total bonus quiz night we will back and thanks for making us so welcome. Many thanks R and G

We stayed 3 days in the room with the private terrace and hot tub which could be enjoyed even in the middle of winter. The pub itself was very welcoming with very good lunch and evening meals and an excellent breakfast. Dogs were also made welcome with an outside area exclusively for them, but it is a shame not all dog owners apprecited this and were not responsible for cleaning up after them. If in the summertime should the pub or the very nice large public gardens get crowded all residents could take advantage of the residents garden. We hope to return with family members later in the year as it was so good. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.

Second stay at the Three Lions. Lovely Inn - friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly. Good menu options. There was no hot water in the wash basin - which marred an otherwise pleasant stay.

Room fine. Unfortunately given the incorrect times breakfast which did not exist. Unable to log onto WiFi which was very inconvenient

Room was clean, the highlight was that it was dog friendly. WiFi wasn’t the greatest but great if youre looking to be disconnected from social media.

Great dog friendly room and pub to visit. We only stayed one night - it was a nice location from the new forest. Dinner was delicious, my partner said it was perhaps the best pie he’s ever had, and the included breakfast was well worth it. Only suggested improvement could be a new carpet for the room, but this is always tricky for a dog friendly room.

Staff all very helpful. Rooms clean.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Lovely staff, easy check in, fantastic room with a private garden & hot tub and great food.

Large room and bed was comfortable. Large bathroom with shower over bath. Toilet hard against the wall by the door was the only thing that was annoying. Food in restaurant was very good.
