The New Forest Inn

GRIM ! we went for food, which we sent back as it was cold and then sent back again as it ws still Tepid. To be fair the manager and barmaid were very courteous and apologetic and refunded the price of one of the meal. Chicken as well as cold was like rubber, my spicy rice thing was grim. Would never eat there again, to be generous it does advertise home made food not HOT home maid food.

We felt so welcome from the minute we stepped through the door. We were early so decided to have a couple of drinks at the bar before being shown to our room. The pub is a traditional, old and full of character as you’d expect and was very busy with diners. Our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and bright with a lovely ensuite. Access to the bedrooms is via a very steep staircase, so not suitable if you have mobility issues. Luckily we had pre booked our table for our evening meal, it was very busy and I could see why… the food is absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend the pies, packed full of flavour, we both agreed they were the best we’d ever tasted and after a very comfortable nights sleep, breakfast didn’t disappoint either, all really good quality ingredients. We will definitely return, 5*

The hotel was gorgeous in beautiful surroundings lovely rooms comfy beds wonderful breakfast staff were fabulous Eliza couldn't do enough for us what a lovely girl we will be back and loved seeing the ponies thank u xxxx

I had a lovely stay at The New Forest Inn. Comfortable accommodation and delicious food and a friendly atmosphere in a tranquil setting. New Forest walks are on the doorstep of the Inn and a short stroll through a delightful village takes you to Lyndhurst.

What a wonderful place, great food and fantastic staff! We stayed a few nights and had dinner which on both occasions was very good. The breakfast was hearty and d set us up for a days cycling! Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back. Felt so welcome.

Go to The New Forest Inn quite a bit. Certainly more than any other pub in The Forest. Never had an issue before. Arrived without a booking and asked to sit in the new conservatory, fine, a bit cold and no atmosphere/background music. Was sitting for about 10 minutes before a wacker plate started in the garden (garden renovations ongoing). Asked to move back into the main pub and was placed in The Snug area. Again fine. Food came out, dry, thin slice of stuffed rolled pork, mediocre at best really. They had run out of Lamb leg steak (even though it was only middayish on Saturday) So I went for lamb liver, dry and powdery texture. Time to pay and go only to find the ceiling had been dripping water from the room above onto our coats. Finished drinks at the bar. Didn’t do the British thing and say nothing this time - actually asked for money off - Manager agreed to give us a whopping 10% reduction for the food and soaked clothes - £4.50! Don’t think we’ll be back for a while. I do have to say this is very unusual. Never been disappointed before but maybe time to try other establishments.

Rob and his team were fantastic, really polite staff, very friendly, we could not have asked to stay at a nicer place. The rooms were fantastic , the food was great. We will defo come back , Amazing stay Thankyou all so much, pass our gratitude onto the staff and the Chefs

We visited this pub with dogs for lunch returning from holidays. The garden bench which my partner sat on collapsed due to rotten woodwork sending him falling backwards, he is in his seventy’s and recovering from surgery. The staff expressed concern and removed the entire table clearly never checked any of the furniture previously. When we looked at the steep garden area with many rotting tables balanced on wood plinths it is a disaster waiting to happen. We have dogs but the Astro turf area was used as a toilet by many dogs so beware if your kids choose to play on the ‘grass’. No one even offered as much as a coffee as a gesture of good will. Needs a jolly good clean and maintenance programme as the food is very good. A full inspection of this place is required for safety.

Came to celebrate the Jubilee and had so much fun! Would come back again. Customer service was outstanding. Verity was so helpful and made great drinks! Also really enjoyed the live music the band played great songs 10/10
