A lovely location on the High Street decorated beautifully for Christmas. The afternoon tea was delicious and very festive- in fact there was too much for us to finish! Service was slow but we were in no rush so it didn't bother us too much. The evening meal was delicious with good options. Unfortunately the breakfast was a let down, the pancakes were horrid so I was unable to finish them and the waitress was very miserable- no 'good morning', or small talk, very blunt and disinterested. However, that aside (because maybe she was having a bad day) it is a stunning hotel, especially for the festive season.

Our must visit when at the Lymington market on Saturday. The coffee and tea cakes are just right and the service is excellent. Food is great too so no complaints!

Delicious fish and chips and served piping hot. Staff were great and very efficient. Even went out of their way to arrange a special meal for my friend.

Steak, chips, veg all was very nice, staff very nice, relaxed atmosphere. Not sure about the tables, they have holes in them! so be careful where you put your glass or else your drink may disappear faster then normal!

We were given the gift (Christmas 2019!) of a 3 course meal for 2 but due to Covid restrictions since then, only now been able to take advantage of the gift. Wow, very well worth the wait, highly tasty food and fantastic service tonight, we really enjoyed our meal, thank you very much! We would love to come back ASAP.

Very well located hotel on the high street. Room was OK but very dated. Breakfast was very good, we ate in the hotel one evening and the food was not great. The cosy bar was nice. The staff definitely make this place - each and everyone of them was polite and friendly.
