Lovely room. Very comfortable and spacious. Ideal for our family of 5. The shower worked fine but could do with being a bit bigger and updating.

Fantastic location and peaceful stay.
Chose this place last minute as a stopover from a long drive. Absolutely stunning location and peaceful. Chilled out atmosphere. We had a deluxe room situated facing the back garden, so calm and beautiful. We could have stayed there much longer! Decor may have been modernised but to be honest the energy is so nice there it doesn't matter. The woodland area creates a very peaceful vibe. We look forward to returning in the future!

Super location if you like walks etc. the staff were so friendly the manageress went above and beyond and was so nice to chat to nothing was too much trouble. Although it causes the hotel problems it was adorable for us to see the wild horse and her pony in the garden (someone left the gate open). Room was really clean and comfortable. They had thought of everything even a fan for the warm days we ate in the restaurant the food was really nice and reasonably priced. We are already planning our next stay

Budget break.
The room I stayed in needed modernising (especially the bathroom) and when painting use dust sheets to catch the paint drips.

Lovely stay
Spent a lovely few days at the Woodlands hotel with a friend and our two dogs. Staff were very friendly and the rooms were nice. If you are looking to take a dog with you it's a great choice. They have a lovely big safe garden, with a gate leading straight out to the forest.
There is a bar area where you are allowed to have your dog with you during breakfast and dinner and the food is very good. If you are not a doggy person, there is a separate dining room, so you don't have eat with dogs around if you don't want to. Some nice pub type restaurants just a few minutes drive away too if you are staying a few nights and want a choice of places to eat.
Great choice for a New Forest break.

Very good value but would prefer firmer mattress
Lovely location and surroundings. Staff were lovely and helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice. Room was nice, newly decorated. Bed was too soft for me and gave me backache. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned but neither of us used it anyway.

The reception and the welcome we got was great we were given our room key thats when it changed .the bedroon was at the end of the corridor near the laundry looked like a anex. the bedroom was clean but very small my wife caught herself ion the dadorail around the bedroom causinng a few hefty bruises
We then went into the bathroom which was a disgrace. mould all overthe walls a cracked sink very shabby bits of old badly painted wood coveting missing trim after a 8 hour journey all we wanted was a nice hot shower but could not get in and out quick enough hoped this was going to be our go to t
