Second stay at the Three Lions. Lovely Inn - friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly. Good menu options. There was no hot water in the wash basin - which marred an otherwise pleasant stay.

Really nice clean cosy room. Nice touches incl folded towels on bed with chocolates. Hot tub terrace was private and nicely laid out. Hot tub itself was really nice, warm, and clean, with cool lights! Menu and specials were varied and plentiful. Food was really nice. Staff friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Great dog friendly room and pub to visit. We only stayed one night - it was a nice location from the new forest. Dinner was delicious, my partner said it was perhaps the best pie he’s ever had, and the included breakfast was well worth it. Only suggested improvement could be a new carpet for the room, but this is always tricky for a dog friendly room.
