Lined the building and grounds, and the walk to Brockenhurst was around 15 minutes. Lined the facilities, though we didn’t see a gym there. Not so good was that the outside pool was taken over by children and wasn’t really somewhere that adults could swim properly in.

We arrived in a heatwave and were given a room I didn’t feel comfortable in. The receptionist worked hard and found us a much bigger room with more windows to open. She also suppled us with an extra large fan which kept us cool at night. All the staff were extremely, friendly and efficient.

Wonderful - but family rooms need a mini fridge

Wonderful stay! Came for a long weekend with two small children. The room with an annex was perfect, everyone was very understanding of the kids needs. Perfect location - really felt magical to see the horses outside every time you step out of the property. Going to the “beach” just A few steps away was so perfect for my kids! Cons: the carpet in our room needed replacing and was badly fraying by the baseboards. The pool area needs a good updating but would be a beautiful space once renovated (which is in progress). Family rooms would really benefit from a mini-fridge.
