뉴 포레스트 로지

parking easy, as was access. nice pub/restaurant next door

Great location, clean, excellent value for money and lovely staff.

The room was fine, just basic requirements met I think the bed line was clean enough although one of the beds I didn’t use had a bit of a stain on the cover and the mirror was in a poor condition in the bathroom but everything was perfectly acceptable for stop off a journey. I didn’t meet any staff, but they did give me a call to ensure I knew the key codes.

Check in process out of reception hours very straightforward and easy to follow. Unfortunately the First room we had been allocated had no electric at all after we tried to get the kettle to boil everything blew. Kettle was also full of limescale. Took quite a while to contact anyone as no reception staff on site but once contacted we were moved to an alternative room instead. Room itself was ok, basic but adequate. However does need a bit of updating and mattress very uncomfortable (neither of us slept very well and woke up with bad backs). Was an ideal location for a stopover however and had all the necessary amenities but due to lack of sleep we wouldn't personally choose to stay again.

The rooms were spotless, the staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the pub behind the lodge. (The Indian restaurant staff was very friendly as well, but it was Valentine's Day and we had not made a reservation, so we went to the pub.) We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there! Then we returned to the lodge for a good night's sleep. We were warm and comfortable.
