A new experience for us, a hotel that offered very comfortable rooms, and a community room equipped with a kettle a toaster and a microwave so we could prepare snacks and breakfasts for ourselves. The bedroom had a reasonable sized fridge enabling us to store dairy products and other chilled foods. There was a garden centre near by where we could have breakfasts,. The was an Indian restaurant next door and a local pub just up the road where evening meals were available. These facilities suited our needs. The location of the hotel was ideal for visiting and exploring the New Forest and we found a variety of interesting places to visit. Attractive villages, good forest walks, the sea was not far away either. Also near by was Romsey, anattractive market town, Beaulieu with the National Motor Museum, and the cathedral city of Salisbury. The manager was very helpful and friendly.We had a most enjoyable week here and would certainly come and stay here again.
