What guests think

At The Huntsman of Brockenhurst, guests often highlight friendly, helpful service, comfortable, well‑designed rooms tucked around a quiet courtyard, and a scenic New Forest location close to local restaurants, shops, and forest walks, making for a relaxed countryside stay.

Many enjoyed the on-site pub meals and cooked-to-order breakfasts, though some found the menu limited or average and reported needing reservations to secure a table. Cleanliness is often praised, but there are periodic maintenance and housekeeping issues, including dusty fixtures, bathroom water spillage, mould, and occasional heating or lighting faults. A good fit for short breaks and countryside outings.

Really nicely done up pub/hotel. The skittle alley was great fun. Friendly staff. We enjoyed a meal in the evening and also a couple of fantastic breakfasts! Lovely area too, great for a walk to see the ponies. A short drive into Southampton for some shopping, a trip to Beaulieu and stroll around lyndhurst. We had a great trip and would definitely visit again! Thank you for having us!

Room is imaginatively and elegantly furnished and decorated but in keeping with being a country inn. The rooms are all arranged around their own courtyard with a lovely tree the middle, and so they are quiet and separate from the pub even though right next to it.

This hotel was interesting. Older building, the front desk was located at the bar in the restaurant. There was a separate entrance to the rooms once you had checked in. However in attempting to leave at 7 in the morning to catch a plane, the back entrance to the parking area was blocked by a delivery truck causing us to have to walk all the way around the parking lot and then when attempting to enter through the front entrance the door was locked. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Had an enjoyable stay only let down by the fact we couldn’t eat in the restaurant because we hadn’t booked a table. Weren’t told this when we were shown round at check in. Ended up with sandwiches from Tescos hardly ideal 😕

Myself and my partner had a lovely stay at the Huntsman. The room (Roe) in the courtyard was lovely and comfortable and the courtyard itself was an unexpected bonus. The eco-friendly toiletries were a lovely touch. My only comments would be: (i) as someone who is wheat and dairy intolerant, a better selection of fruit for breakfast would have been nice; and (ii) although the bathroom was spotless and the room was generally very clean, I did feel that the (wooden) floor had not been cleaned properly.

The room was spotless, and smelling nice like a woody piney smell (like a huntsman lodge lol), the staff were brilliant and great attention was paid to every interaction during our short stay! The restaurant food was delicious and were were given a table the last moment without a reservation (it was super packed full of people) Thank you so much, I wish all hotels were like you guys.

It’s in need of some TLC and a really good clean! The dust in the radiator / heater on the wall and the extractor fan is thick and as for the shower head, it is thick solid with limescale and rust. The toilet doesn’t flush properly and it’s generally in need of some maintenance.

Wardrobe in the room was so small, the door could not be closed because the hangers were wider than the wardrobe. Shower spilled out onto the bathroom floor making it soaking wet and slippery ( a common fault in many hotels). Food quality poor. Young, friendly ,helpful staff.

Place was OK, room was cold due to the radiator not working, given the temp outside it made it a little unpleasant. When asked the next day if everything was ok, I let them know. I think a sincere apology and offer of a discounted stay might have helped but it felt a little dismissive. Breakfast was good.

Lovely stay. Great location. Had dinner and breakfast at the pub both were very good. Only slight negative was that the room was not ready when we arrived at 3.30pm and we were told would be half an hour but we could buy a drink and wait. I think as the room was delayed it would have been a nice gesture to offer us a drink, not get us to buy one. Otherwise a very good pub and excellent food!
