This is one of those place you just happen to come across,right in the middle of the new forest…read morethis pub/resturant/b and b is wonderful. We stayed overnight here and the rooms are clean,spacious and have baths big enough for two(trust me) The bar is friendly and cosy with a wide choice of food from burgers to fish... Breakfast is rather large and sets you up for a long walk into the forest. We paid £75.00 for one night b and b and it was well worth it,plenty of car parking space if you can get the pony's out the way!

A perenially fave this place. In the heart of the New Forest although not too far from the main…read moreroad out of Bournemouth. Lovely proper pub, lovely food, quite small inside but a big garden with lots of table and a children's play area. Highlights are the wild New Forest ponies that also like the big beer garden and that you can do some New Forest walks from here and leave your car in their carpark! The walks are of varying lengths and take you through forest, heath land, grassy mounds and all very peaceful and lovely. Place is teaming with wildlife. Just be careful not to get lost just as it's getting dark

There is a large beer garden, fabulous in summer to sit outside with a glass of pimms and some of the potato wedges which come with a mean sweet chilli sauce! The food is average, quality having depleted in recent months, a change of chef possibly??? Bar food is reasonably priced and they also have a resturant which is fairly pricey but clearly better quality food. The pub is clean and modern with a good selection of beer on draught and the inside seating is mainly wooden benches. In the winter there is a fantastic log fire, ideal for warming up around after a walk along the sea wall, that is if you can get anywhere near it!

The menu has pasta's,curries, burgers, fish, chinese dishes and traditional British. Something for everyone. There is an okay wine list, bit pricey perhaps. There is a large garden to the rear with a play area for children of all ages. There is also a bbq on offer in the summer months. The mayflower can get very busy in the summer when the sailing crowd descend in their droves. The rooms are decent, but the decor a bit tired.

Had some pork scratchings while waiting for my friend, they were tasty with ample apple aauce. Shared with my friend a pork roll and toastie. Both were above and beyond the stanrd. Pork roll with large with high quality, not ground pork. The toastie was also two steps above typical fare. Ser ice was both professional and friendly.

So cute!!! Very comfy 'home' feeling…read more We popped in here for lunch today based on a friends recommendation. It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

If you have mobility issues, let them know at booking time- as there would be great difficulty with the stairs & hallways if you had walking or balance issues. (Hint: Room #1 is larger and next to the front & the pub.) Clean room, modest furnishings, a bit worn, but clean. The bath had a small stand up shower, but the water was hot after a long day. TV, hairdryer, clothes iron, water kettle & tea service - all provided. Also the location is very close (short walk) to the city center and Salisbury Cathedral, with lots of eating & pub options. Morning breakfast buffet (extra) was good & filling, with hot fresh eggs, meats, cheeses, beans, toast, jellies/jam, juices, teas & coffee. Worth the dosh in my humble opinion. The bar was a nice snuggery, but the selection was limited in offerings. Go for convenience & location, and if the weather is good, eat in the courtyard and pet the feral but friendly black cat that roams the hotel. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, and I'd probably stay again, but I'd much prefer a larger room in future. Recommended, but with care on room selection, B+

We had 2 rooms and left at 3:30 AM because the noise from the adjacent club was so loud. We had…read morereflections from the mirror balls reflecting on our ceiling. It was absolutely ridiculous. The clubs don't shut down until 3:30 AM and then all of the club goers hit the street for food, fighting and being loud. If they are staying in the hotel, they are loud in the hallways. It never ends. We got more sleep in our car than we did in the hotel room. Our rooms should have never been booked

Guests vary from those out on day shoots to passers by like myself. The gardens are beautifully manicured and the entire area is buzzing with wild life. I would highly recommend popping in to visit the spa and having a bite to eat at very least - make a day trip of it - you will not be disapointed!

As a rule of thumb, my wife and I don't go away for weekends in the UK. Not because of some…read moresnobbish need to go abroad; quite the contrary, we'd prefer not to have to fly, but because for some reason the British don't really cater for weekend breaks very well. However, knowing our thoughts on the above, we were encouraged to try the Park House Hotel and in short, we'll be going again! The service was magnificent, the food wonderful and the facilities second to none. The swimming pool (indoor) and spa are set in the most excellent building. There is also golf (small, but suitable for my declining level!) and optional cycling (we tried, but we're probably too old!). In all, we spent two extremely relaxing nights there and I look forward to doing the same again next year.

Brilliant family celebration We chose The Manor for my 80th…read moreBirthday Celebration, as we had stayed there before and always found it welcoming and comfortable and good value. My plan was to have a weekend with my partner, my children , grand children and sisters and their husbands (Total 31 people in all) with a lunch on the Saturday with 10 more relations who could make the journey and back in a day. As it happened the numbers were ideal as we were able to use all the bedrooms and have the hotel to ourselves for the weekend, with a few of the people staying a few extra days before and after. The atmosphere was very relaxed and every one had a fantastic time. It was a great opportunity for my grandchildren (teenage or a bit older) to get to know each other and have fun together - some live abroad and others at some distance from each other. The lunch on the Saturday went off very well with everyone very much at ease. The food was very good with a varied menu that I had agreed in advance with Tim the owner and the Dining Room suited our number very well. The next day we celebrated the 60th birthday of my son in law who had driven over with his family from Austria and we had another celebratory lunch, this time there were 17 of us and again we had a lovely meal. The hotel rooms were very comfortable and there was enough flexibility to have a few extra beds for some children. Tim and his team were very friendly and helpful and made everyone very welcome. A special mention to Helena and Angie, and Matt the chef. Highlight for me were the lunches and also the breakfasts where everyone was able to mingle very happily in a totally relaxed atmosphere. For me it was the highlight of my year and I have to thank Tim and his Team for making it such a happy and memorable time

This place must be absolutely hopping in the summer! The pig is a restaurant and a hotel, on a beautiful piece of land on the water. I have included several pictures of the view. This is a true farm to table restaurant. We enjoyed a long leisurely lunch that included the 'piggy and fishies' tray, homemade warm bread, cauliflower soup and fish and pork chop mains. Absolutely fantastic meal with wine pairings. We then retired to the lounge for coffee and a bit of a rest before the journey home. A+! The ambiance is 'elegant countryside' and service was top notch. I absolutely must return here with my family in short order as they would love it. PS- may have picked up a bit of a Brit accent while here!!
