“Absolute Gem”
+This is a gem of a place to stay in the New Forrest. A cosy pub and diner on the ground floor and the bedrooms above. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. This is an older property with bundles of character so you have to expect the odd creaky floorboard! The food was truly exceptional. We had an evening meal,, as a group of eight (included were pescatarians and vegetarians) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The breakfast is to order and all eight agreed that its was top quality with as much tea and coffee as desired. The quality of service is faultless, truly exceptional nothing was too much trouble delivered with care and attention, this is how all customer service businesses should be run. Fantastic.
−Absolutely nothing

“Couldn’t get free Wi-Fi to work.”
+Very nice staff.
−Paying for (non-hotel) parking at 8am on a Saturday. The hotel should have an arrangement with the town to permit worry-free parking (it is just behind the hotel).

−I was unwell the day of the booking and rang to say only one of us could make the booking but I would join for breakfast, which was included in the stay. The owner refused to allow me the breakfast even though I'd paid in advance for a double room. My friend who I booked the room with had car problems and was going to be 15minutes late for check in, after several hours drive. The owner refused to let her check in and she had to sleep in a layby as had no other accommodation. I begged with the staff to be more accommodating but they were really rude, unhelpful and dismissive.
