I have just stayed at The Fighting Cocks for the weekend. Unfortunately we choose the weekend of the A31 closure and the New Forest fires! Resulting in a lot of traffic passing the pub. Not their fault. The staff were very helpful and friendly the room was great, clean and comfortable and breakfast was included and really tasty. We had an evening meal on the Saturday which was ample and reasonably priced. All in all a great little stop over.

We recently stayed at The Fighting Cocks and overall had a really enjoyable stay. The staff were absolutely excellent – friendly, attentive and genuinely helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they did everything they could to make our stay a good one. Our room was a good size and spotlessly clean. The only real downside was the heat – the rooms were unbearably hot, which made sleeping difficult. Unfortunately, the cattle grid directly outside the hotel also meant that every passing vehicle announced its arrival with very loud noise so between the heat and the traffic noise, we didn’t get much sleep! We ate in the pub and the food was really good, with absolutely enormous portions – definitely arrive hungry! And then there are the donkeys… 😂 Having donkeys casually wandering around outside the pub is certainly quirky and very Instagram-worthy. In photos: adorable countryside charm. In reality: surprisingly loud, slightly smelly neighbours who are a bit overwhelming 😂 They definitely add character though, and it’s certainly a stay we’ll remember! Overall, a lovely quirky pub with fantastic staff, good food and clean, spacious rooms – just pack some earplugs.

Great welcome from the staff, very friendly and helpful. Our room was very well decorated but the mattress was very tired. I could feel the springs when I lay down. Shower temperature was very cool, OK during this current heat wave but as it was only just off cold, it would be no good in colder weather, also it leaked all over the floor. Excellent meal in the restaurant and a lovely breakfast in the morning with very friendly staff. Overall a great one night stay.

Egooxcellent quality and excellent value 👌

Really enjoyed our stay. The room was not perfect but at the price charged was ok, the bathroom was nice. The location is great and the staff are very friendly and welcoming but I save the best until last. The food was fantastic we just love the Nepalese food.

Lovely country pub,spacious clean room with lovely big bathroom,really comfortable bed.Had a lovely evening meal, the waitress was really helpful and got our order in quickly after giving us the heads up that there were a lot of large parties in that evening and ordering promptly would be beneficial,food was amazing and good value. Breakfast the next morning was a wide choice and the hosts at the property were brilliant.Would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

Had a lovely time and will definitely gi back

Nice room and lovely food.

On arrival the room was clean with very friendly and helpful staff and the check-in and out were easy and smooth. The food and the bar are both excellent. Only criticism I could say is that a wider choice for breakfast would be welcome.

Room very clean & tidy looks like a recent refurbish which was very well done , the only thing was the mattresses could do with renewing , which is the only negative thing to say about our stay was able to help ourselves to tea ,coffee etc when needed . Could not ask for better staff , nothing to much trouble for them to do , very good choice for breakfast , never went out hungry also very good menu all round with a good choice of drinks at the bar , will definitely stay again and would highly recommend this place

Yes all good

Fantastic venue, location, breakfast and staff. Could not have been kinder or more generous with their hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble. Linda (Lin) who was front of house was awesome.

Fantastisk omgivning och mysigt hotell. Jag bara älskade att det gick hästar löst och betade i omgivningen. Värt ett besök!

Beautiful location, very friendly staff always happy to assist, included breakfast freshly made, tasty and on the high standard. Dog friendly. Room pretty clean and seems recently refurbished.

We had a great stay here. The room was quiet and spacious, with plenty of storage plus a table and 2 bucket chairs as well as a dressing table and chair. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom was bright with a good sized shower including a rainfall as well as a shower hose. The breakfast was also excellent. The staff were helpful too.

Perfect for our 1 night stopover

Wonderful place. Room was beautiful and food absolutely delicious!

Lovely place to stay, friendly staff, comfortable and clean room and amazing food. Felt very safe there as a single female

Beautiful and very clean rooms, lovely friendly staff with excellent customer service

Really lovely stay .Room was modern decor but with a bit of character and very clean. Dog friendly so easy to relax and great location with walks into the new forest right outside the door. Food was great …both the dinner the night of our stay and the big cooked breakfast. Great value for money and we will definitely try and go back again .
