Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful, but there is a lot that needs improvement at Forest Lodge. I responded to the check in email by phone, the receptionist asked for our breakfast time preference. On arrival at the hotel we still had to wait in a queue and give all our details. I was asked about breakfast booking and dinner which I had already done. On the booking form I asked for two extra pillows, these weren’t supplied. The room was nice but the bathroom was in need of a makeover, tired and tatty, the water took ages to drain from the sink, loose toilet roll holder, corroded toilet flush handle, grotty white nylon shower curtain. The phone was dirty and needed a good clean with antibacterial wipes, also I couldn’t ring down to reception and had to unplug the phone at 3am as it was beeping incessantly even though the receiver was firmly on the hook. Went down to breakfast at our 9.30am booking, we were left waiting for five minutes, the couple in front of us were finally shown to a table but we were ignored. Another few minutes later we were told that there wasn’t a table for us yet, I said that we had booked for 9.30am this is unacceptable in a four star hotel, I have never encountered this before. We were asked to wait in the bar area for a further five minutes. Pointless to have time slots if they overbook. No bottled water to buy for going out. Bar poorly stocked, whisky served in a cheap thick glass, stingy vegetarian breakfast, won’t go back.

Lovely hotel and perfect for anyone wanting a break in the beautiful New Forest. Pool didn’t have any loungers to chill out and it was a bit shabby but wasn’t why we booked the hotel so that was fine. Room was great. Could connect to our Netflix account and the big bed was so comfy! Really lovely helpful staff too

Hi, We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to going on a cruise from Southampton and being midlanders we wanted to do the lion share of the journey the day before departure so we choose this reasonably priced hotel. We had a family room which catered for 2 adults and 2 kids (11 & 9). Room ws fine. Clean and ample size. The kids beds are bunks tucked nearly in the corner. We didnt wat in the hotel or book breakfast as we were checked out early the next morning but we did eat tea at the 2 minute walk Waterloo Inn (decent pub grub). Upon our return from food we went in the pool. This is fine but there was nowhere for parents/guardians to sit and watch the kids should they not want to get wet. Seating innthe pool.area could be better. As could a repair job on the sauna and shower. All in all though this was a pleasant night stay with friendly staff and convenient to Southampton docks (20 mins)..

Hotel is nice but would say it was 4/5 star - rooms were nice and clean and had everything you needed! Pool was quiet but not that warm. Sauna was out of order. Food was bland and service wasn't great. It's expensive for food and drink and not worth the price - we also didn't realise gratuity was automatically added and so paid over £20 in tip for a meal for 2 adults and 2 children (we are in the bar so wasn't table service). Our key stopped working when we returned from food and it took over 30 minutes to find someone to rectify the issue which wasn't great with 2 small tired children.

Booked the hotel on the strength of the pool which was out of use for the duration. The four poster bed was great but the room was small and had no fridge facilities. The staff were very friendly, apologising for the lack of pool. The breakfast took far too long, (perhaps a buffet style hot breakfast would be more appropriate.) The sink was in need of repair.(infection control)

The sauna was filthy and not working and probably not even safe yet the door was open. Breakfast mediocre. The location made up for it and we enjoyed our mini break.

My partner and I booked this hotel for a single night trip for my birthday in order to recharge in the country for a while and get away from the city, and unfortunately we left feeling like the hotel was the worst part of my birthday. Having stayed in other hotels by this local chain before we had high hopes that the hotel would be organised, clean and a well needed break for the night, and a spot we could go to to go for a swim, relax and just enjoy the location. The main area of the hotel is clean and well presented, so we were initially impressed, and the receptionist was helpful with advising where everything was and what we needed. Very quickly after arriving at the hotel we decided to go for a swim, and upon getting back to our room post-swim we realised our shower had no running hot water. This took 3 trips to reception to resolve and the keys we were given to other rooms didn’t work - when resolved the room was moldy, dirty, the carpet hadn’t been hoovered, the bathroom backsplash was half missing, and the paint everywhere was filthy. On top of all of this the communication was terrible and meant that we were rudely awoken at 8am with the cleaning team accessing our room, clearly not advised we had been moved. The experience completely ruined the birthday celebrations and given how lovely the other hotels in the chain are we were deeply disappointed.

Lady on reception was excellent, friendly and efficient. Room was quite a good size and bed comfortable. We had water and tea making facilities but there wasn't enough toiletries for two people. Also bedside tables needed a deep clean. Our door also didnt close we had to pull it which then made a loud bang. We also heard several other doors banging loudly. Good location to walk into town and visit New Forest.

The hotel itself it’s nice and comfortable. Close enough to new forest show and lyndhurst is a great town.however I think we were placed in the smallest room and the hottest room. I know it was a hot few days but the fans provided were old and not good enough and the room was just too hot. We didn’t sleep properly for 3 nights which is a shame. The bed was a very small Double and one of us had to sleep On the floor because it was just too small for 2 adults . I normally stay here a lot throughout the year but not sure if I will again.

Overall, this was a nice place to stay. I had Room 10 and unfortunately there was something dripping outside the window the whole time though, which woke me up a few times in the night. The room decor could do with an update/redecoration. The bathroom too. But it was ok for what I needed. It would have been nice to see a Bar Menu out somewhere to know what food was available. Any staff I encountered were great. Thank you!

Unfortunately, another property of this company in dire need of upgrade / tlc. Extensive peeling paint in bathrooms, worn carpeting. Door locks that failed every day (magnetic cards). Modernizing and general maintenance/ upkeep recommended. Comfortable rooms though and nice pool. Didn’t make up for the overall experience. They could do so much more at their properties if they tried. And no flexibility on check in - despite room being ready, there wasn’t the staff to check them. So rigid 3pm check in regardless. A negative in customer service. Will look elsewhere, smaller boutique hotels on my next visit.

Massively understaffed. Waited 20 mins at front desk for because the person manning the bar was having to do everything. Kitchen closed at 8:30pm despite advertising 24h room service, presumably due to staff shortages again. They need a maintenance person on staff to take care of damaged walls, broken extractor fans, dodgy lightbulbs etc. Lots of little issues that detract from an otherwise pleasant property.

Only negative really was changing rooms by pool werent great, main one closed and other was family changing room, no lock and toilet clearly hadnt been working or cleaned, wasnt in keeping with the great quality of everything else at the hotel. Pool itself was really lovely though so after first time we just changed in our rooms.

Stayed for one night as a little stop over on way to Cornwall with our young Labrador. The hotel is really lovely and super dog friendly with welcome treats and a little pup pack of goodies in the room. The staff made such a fuss of Zoey dog. Really lovely people. We took a 5 minute stroll into the village for a walk and dinner at a pub. The location is perfect. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the bar terrace but there were no noise issues. Next morning I took advantage of the hotel pool for 30 mins which I had all to myself. Breakfast was delicious!

It's expensive for food and drink and not worth the price - we also didn't realise gratuity was automatically added and so paid over £20 in tip for a meal for 2 adults and 2 children (we are in the bar so wasn't table service). Our key stopped working when we returned from food and it took over 30 minutes to find someone to rectify the issue which wasn't great with 2 small tired children.
