Had a lovely stay at the penny farthing last week. The staff are all so lovely and genuinely helpful, even though it was a very busy weekend, they handled a full hotel beautifully, and we all felt very well looked after . We were checked in promptly by the reception staff, a lovely helpful chap. My room was brilliant!( mad hatter 5, large double room) it was towards the rear of the building so away from the road, which can be quite busy at times, so perfect for very light sleepers.
My room was absolutely spotless, and well decorated. The bathroom was huge! With a full bath, toilet, shower, sink ( perfect for getting ready for a wedding, which I was!). The bedroom has a dressing table and lots of storage in the wardrobe ( plenty of hangers too!). We had breakfast the next day, perfectly cooked poached eggs! The wait staff were amazing, like I said it was fully booked yet the ladies took it in their stride, smiling and making sure we were all well attended to. Had a wonderful stay, and definitely will book again. Thanks to all the Staff, you're all wonderful people, and can't wait to visit again. Many thanks, Lucy

This hotel was rather disappointing. It is in considerable need of repairs and maintenance. The shower in one room didn't work, in another room it barely worked, the entire place looked to be in need of a massive restoration. The hotel is situated in a lovely small town, but is right next to the main road.

Fabulous! Room was quite small with decor that needed updating, BUT do not let that put you off. It was clean with a comfy bed, wardrobe, dressing table, mirror, tv and tea and coffee making facilities. Great base for exploring the New Forest and the coast. If you have a dog, then they're in for a treat - they'll be welcomed with open arms, literally, and will be completely spoilt. Breakfast was fabulous and good quality with cereal, a cooked breakfast, toast, jam, honey, tea, coffee. Very short walk into the lovely town. We'll definitely stay here again if we're in that part of the world. Staff were just brilliant.
