Across recent reviews, The Stag Hotel and Mailmans Arms earns praise for genuinely friendly staff, a central Lyndhurst location, comfortable rooms with modern touches, and consistently good breakfasts and pub meals, with dog-friendly hospitality highlighted by thoughtful extras.
Facilities include an on-site pub and restaurant, on-site parking that several guests found limited, and a Grade II listed building layout with no lift and narrow, steep stairs; live music contributes to a lively atmosphere. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though some face street or bar noise and can feel warm due to limited window opening or lack of air conditioning; fans and earplugs are sometimes provided. Expect a warm pub-hotel stay with great food and service, but plan for stairs, possible noise, and constrained parking.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Stag. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated with an incredible bathroom, the staff were warm and welcoming, and breakfast was a solid 11/10. The pub itself has a great atmosphere, with a mix of friendly locals and fellow holiday makers. It’s also incredibly dog-friendly; they even served our pup his very own sausage in a bowl at breakfast, which was such a thoughtful touch. Parking is easy and convenient, just out the back of the pub. Perfectly situated in the heart of the New Forest, it’s an ideal base for exploring the area.

Staff were lovely, amazing breakfast (go for the cooked one!) and the room was clean and tidy. Only thing is no air con so when it got hot it was a bit stuffy but that’s the only downside we could see. Car park is limited so need to get there early before patrons arrive to dine in the restaurant on site.

From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff. Our room was not quite up to scratch a couple of things had been missed on housekeeping. However the staff were amazing and quickly showed us to another room and couldnt apologise enough. The room was very spacious room 6 on the top floor so quite a few steps to go up.Comfy bed, clean and tidy alrhough could do with a fresh lick of paint but this is something due soon as explained by the staff member. Food at the stag is amazing absolute delicious and again the staff are lovely. Great place to eat. We slept well , ear plugs are supplied if you need them as you can hear the traffic going past but this cant be helped as its the road through the centre of Lyndhurst. Great powerful shower.Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and again lovely chatty staff. We loved staying here for our Wedding Anniversary break. Will definitely be returning to stay again.

Great place to stay. Room clean and comfy. Staff all friendly, food good. Its on the main road so if a light sleeper i would ask for a back/side room. We had room 4, which was in 1st floor above the bar so there is noise until closing time. If you want a bit quieter ask for 2nd floor but be aware no lift. Room had fan and an extra heater. Enough room for clothes/cases.

The room we were in had a hole in the wall and a very uncomfortable bed. Furniture is extremely dated and has had a bad paint job done on all units. Although a new bathroom, it is very badly designed as who wants to look in the mirror/ use the vanity unit over a toilet? Also, a patron was allowed to Vape at the bar in full view of staff, and was not challenged about this. The staff however were very friendly and pleasant throughout our stay and the hotel it is an ideal location to look around Lyndhurst

Lyndhurst was a stopover on our journey. Convenient but I had no prior knowledge. Our room was beautiful. Spacious, meticulously clean, lovely bathroom, towels, bed. Warm and cosy. But…I didn’t know they had live music on Friday evenings, and I didn’t know there would be so much noise from the street below. Despite the noise we slept, but I think the hotel description should be clear and honest about the noise. Service at breakfast was good - very speedy. But I thought they might have lovely sausages from the family butcher directly opposite. Instead they served disgusting UPF sausages from who knows where….

Check in was fast and efficient - thank you Liam, who also showed us to our room. Our room was large and spacious. Unfortunately, the only thing that let it down was the fact that we were unable to open the windows. Due to the hotel being Grade 2 listed - replacing windows is not straightforward! However, a fan was supplied in the room - bit too noisy to use overnight. A great stay though, staff are super friendly and helpful and a great breakfast!

The room in the hotel was great, good size, clean and comfortable. Hotel is also centrally located. However check in was at 3pm and checkout next day was 10am! Breakfast on a Sunday 7.30-9.30! Most hotels allow a later breakfast at the weekend so guests can relax and rest, clearly not the case here. We were also woken at 7am by cars driving past, very loudly, on the way to Beaulieu. That’s obviously not the hotel’s fault.

You have a choice at breakfast the next morning on the menu the hotel provides. The food is sourced locally and very tasty, compliment to the chefs there. The staff are friendly and always up for a chat, as well as helpful. Would stay again.

It’s also incredibly dog-friendly; they even served our pup his very own sausage in a bowl at breakfast, which was such a thoughtful touch. Parking is easy and convenient, just out the back of the pub. Perfectly situated in the heart of the New Forest, it’s an ideal base for exploring the area.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Stag. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated with an incredible bathroom, the staff were warm and welcoming, and breakfast was a solid 11/10. The pub itself has a great atmosphere, with a mix of friendly locals and fellow holiday makers.

Third stay at The Stag, it never disappoints, started by a warm welcome by friendly staff. We had super roast dinner on the Sunday. The breakfast is excellent, with good produce cooked cooked to perfection. The member of staff who served us, both mornings of our stay, was very friendly and efficient (alas her name escapes me). We look forward to returning the The Stag.

The whole experience was excellent from start to end. Beautiful room, friendly staff, good quality breakfast, free parking. Can't fault anything about it. We also ate in the restaurant in the evening and again, the menu was varied and exceptional quality.

A great hotel in the middle of Lynhurst, rooms are a good size, clean, comfortable with a modern bathroom with complimentary shower products..Tea/ coffee in the room with a TV. You have a choice at breakfast the next morning on the menu the hotel provides. The food is sourced locally and very tasty, compliment to the chefs there. The staff are friendly and always up for a chat, as well as helpful. Would stay again.

An overall very pleasant stay with extremely friendly & accommodating staff. The room was slightly on the smaller side but had a lovely bathroom and all the toiletries you need! Great selection of tea & coffee. Exceptional breakfast however did take a little longer than anticipated (around 35 minutes) to come out to table. Keep topped up on refreshments in the meantime however. We had gone back as this was one of our first dates and was sad to see they no longer had a cocktail menu. Room service would be fantastic option down the line as the local Tescos closed earlier that stated and there is no where to grab a quick snack or drink for your room. Would happily come back due to the friendly atmosphere and stunning surroundings

We had a lovely stay. The staff are amazing and the location a true gem - just a few minutes walk from New Forest. We travel with our dog and it made the experience even more special since the staff made him feel as welcome as us and treats waited in the room.

This was an amazing stay, staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had all the amenities one could need. The bar was happy, lively and a great little stop off. The food for both dinners and breakfast was great quality, always piping hot and the staff couldn’t be more generous with their attentiveness. Would stay again in a heartbeat - great location too!
