We were comfortably seated in the back room and quickly served by the wait staff. Baby Girl M decided on fried Brie (Jesus take the wheel!) and progressed to the standard ham and cheese sandwich - the Brie far out stripped the sandwich. Glammom went traditional with fish and chips - standard. Momma K - Prawn and crab salad / wonderfully prepared and tasty! I decided to try the lamb pie - talk about comfort food! Although really set up to give tourists the old "English pub field", it was a good time and good food. Frankly, I love the fact that restaurants and businesses in England are also dog friendly. So, OK this was a tad touristy but definitely worth a go!

Our room consisted of a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and an interconnecting kitchenette. It also had a shower room. Beds were very comfortable, rooms were spacious and the shared kitchen (in addition to the kitchenette in the room) contained breakfast foodstuffs. To top it off you wake up overlooking Watership down. What more could you ask for? Great value accommodation, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit this area.

The interior decor is fantastic and set out very well, they accommodation we stayed in was a lovely lodge which was very comfortable and had 2 bathrooms and toilets as well as 3 bedrooms, a nice lounge with dvd player and French doors leading out to a veranda with table and chairs. The clubhouse is a large building but looks from the outside like an old worldly pub. It's very pretty from the outside and also the reception is in there. The food was great, reasonably priced and very homely, there was a nice area with sofas and a tv and bookshelves if you didn't want to join the main club area. Of course there was a main area with entertainment but we didn't go in there not our cup of tea but it was a large area with many tables and chairs. Plenty for the kids to do and a lovely area. Top notch management staff very friendly and you don't have to pay for the club passes.

We've just enjoyed a four day holiday at Hoburn Naish, using an 8 bed Solent Lodge. Four day breaks…read morerequire booking in at reception from 4pm on the Monday. If you require an extra key, there is a £5 deposit. The Solent lodge has a sun deck with two large green plastic tables and accompanying chair. The gate to the sundeck has a lock on it, high enough to deter small fingers. As you step into the lodge, the dining area is directly to your left (It is a tight squeeze if you are at full capacity, you'll need to keep your elbows in and you will need to pull the table out slightly before dining). The kitchen is next and the cupboards were well stocked with plates, cups, glasses and bowls. There was a full selecting of cutlery, but we found the knives we were provided with were blunt. Reception sent us a new set straight away. The lounge area had two sofas and an armchair, a fireplace, a coffee table, a colour flatscreen and DVD player. As we had a curious one year old with us, we used the coffee table to block the fireplace. There is a storage cupboard in the lounge area Through a multi panelled glass door, you will find the side door to the property and the first of the two bathrooms. This first bathroom had a toilet, sink, cabinet, mirror, sink shelf and shower. Our lodge had four bedrooms. Reception were able to provide a cot for the one year old upon request. There were two double bedrooms consisting of full wall wardrobes, two bedside cabinets, wall mounted heater, dressing table, trunk and chest of drawers. Very tight squeeze. We had a bedroom with two single beds in and the bedroom we used for the baby where there were an additional 4 mattresses piled up. The second bathroom had a toilet, sink and bath with shower screen. In the park club, you will find reception, a wall full of attraction tourist leaflets, a mini arcade, ball pit for the kids, a number of toilets dotted around, indoor bar with sports (mainly footie) on a very small tv in the corner of the ceiling, a large hall where the evening's events happen, and another pub that has a garden, dart board, pool table and 2 lane bowling alley. The arcade has ticket machines that can be cashed in for toys from the in-arcade shop, there are 2p machines everywhere, various big machines like Time Crisis 3, motorbike, car games, pool and snooker tables. There is a snack machine in the foyer next to reception. Darts has a £5 deposit normally but we had the fee waivered when the barlady couldn't find three matching darts. The bowling alley is £1.50 payable through a slot in the machine. The garden/smoking area is not sheltered. The evening entertainment at the club consists of early things for kids, kids disco, bingo, quizzes and caberet. I went to the bingo one night which was fun, £1 per book with three games in. I went at the beginning of the season so it was fairly quiet and prizes were between £10 an £30 a game. The park also has a fully stocked gym, kids pool and adult pool. You need to take your shoes off before entering the changing area. There are four family changing cubicles and umpteen individual cubicles that are too small to get in! I'm a size 12-14, so I'm not too fat to get in them! There are mens, ladies and disabled toilets. The only drawback is there are only two unisex showers that are in full view of the adult pool. I assume they think you'll go back to your lodge and use the shower there. There is a separate hot and cold shower at the end of the adult pool which you use before using the steam room and sauna. There is also a kids adventure playground on the site, a laundrette and a Nisa shop. The tourist stuff was pricey, but regular stuff was a normal price, chocolate being cheaper than back home! There is a lovely beach behind the lodge park with sand and shingle, very clear water. The route down to the beach is not buggy/pram proof and I advise you carry your little ones down there. You won't be able to drag the buggy of the shingle/rocks with ease anyway. On the way back from the beach, having taken a damned buggy, we decided to try and find a smoother route back to the lodge park. We discovered Chewton Bunny Reserve which runs alongside the lodge park. Beautiful scenery and ends by a couple steps up to the main road where you can peer down into the weir. Booking out was 10AM on the Friday morning.

The aspect of apartment is in the size of the accommodations. From what I remember from way back when, our room was comfy, and we were able to move around without bumping into one another, as is the problem with some European hotels that don't cost a king's ransom. Speed up almost 15 years later and 130 has had a beautiful face lift. Furnishings all around are new and the place feels fresh, but still holds onto its British flair. Came here to celebrate a friends 30th and we wanted something relaxing, close to as much as everything as possible and in a safe location - which 130 is! It's still pricey, but for London, we received a lot for a good price. It was nice being back to a place I enjoyed as a kid, only to find it better!

Owners know you have no recourse and take full advantage, with TripAdvisor's blessing.  We booked a rental house for two weeks, and it was nothing like the photos. The house was in a state of complete disrepair. The c02/smoke detectors were going off / in an alarm state the entire time, the guest bathroom shower stopped working, doorknobs fell off doors daily, a sewage smell permeated the primary bathroom, doors and knobs were missing from closets, lightbulbs were burnt out, the keypad to unlock the only entry door was ancient and malfunctioning, the pool cleaner was broken (eventually it was removed entirely,  leaving the pool unclean and unusable the entire time), the washer/dryer were broken, etc. There's a much longer list of things that were going wrong. The rental was nothing like the photos and description on TripAdvisor's Holiday Lettings site. It was in terrible condition and very unclean. We immediately let the owners know about these problems (of which they were already aware, based on many years of poor reviews on other sites). The owners' reply was that we should vacate. We had already flown here, taken time off work, and prepaid for the rental entirely. No attempt or offer was made to address any issues. TripAdvisor was no help. The owners already have your money and know you have no recourse, so they make no attempt (or even pretense) to fix anything. This site is a scam.
