Like the fact that you can walk a few yards from the property and you're in the forest. Good location for walking the dog. The whole of the New Forest inn is dog friendly and staff are very welcoming towards them.Very helpful staff !

Smack bang in the middle of the New Forest itself, it would have been criminal of me not to explore the surrounding wooded areas as part of a long walk. My room was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The shower helped wash away the day's labors but the bed could have been more comfortable. I dined there on the evening which was ok but for breakfast, the eggs were undercooked and the bacon cooked to the point that you could only identify it via its fingertips. All in all, I would look to stay here again but would perhaps dine elsewhere.

Lovely place, however we stayed there in the heatwave & the fan provided sadly didn’t help. The room was very hot think having the kitchen extra fan sadly outside the window didn’t help, just like sleeping in a sauna there was hardly any breeze coming through the window .I appreciate the staff could do nothing about the very hot weather. It was cool in the bar & beautiful garden

If you're looking for 5 star sterile environment this is not for you. When booking on line your'e never sure what you will walk into.As soon as we set foot through the door we knew we had made the right decision. New Forest Inn steeps in atmosphere, 18th century beautiful country pub in the heart of the New Forest, even the ponies were there outside to welcome us.
The staff were amazing as was the food.
Bedroom a little quirky...we loved it, extremely clean throughout.
We will certainly be back, hopefully autumn to this most wonderful establishment!

Great country get away
We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are modern and really clean and the Inn itself is right in the heart of the forest which was so accessible for all walks. The staff were really friendly and attentive and the breakfast was brilliant and huge! Would totally recommend.

Lovely stay
Spent 2 days at the Forest Inn. I can throughly recommend this place. The rooms were clean & comfortable. Its a good place to stay to explore the New Forest
We had dinner in the restaurant & the food was excellent, the breakfast were also excellent. The staff are polite, & nothing was too much trouble
Have already booked to go back in the spring.
An 18th Century pub, loads of character and staff were very friendly. Parking is a problem at the pub, however there is parking on the road which is well utilised. Breakfast was included, plenty of choice and a huge full English if you are doing a long walk! We stayed in the superior room which looked like it was newly refurbished and spacious.

Had a great, restful, couple of days at the New Forest Inn. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great side of traditional character. The food and drinks are great and they have a good range of vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. The deserts are a definite highlight! The staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We will be back in the future.

Staff were really good, food was excellent and as for the breakfast - best I have had in a long time.
Great to sit and watch the wild ponies walk past.
