"The food was amazing. We had one of the sharing boards to start, it was so good!"
"The food was delicious, the decor beautiful and the venue easy to find with plenty of parking."
Cons:
"Never ever had salmon that is microwaved ever, so both ends are so crispy they crumble like bread crumbs."
"Never ever tasted lasagne like it, totally like mushed goo and slop."
"Here some rice was topped with poorly cooked fish, some peas and a watery sauce."
"The poached eggs were undercooked and covered in brown scum."
"The Steak pieces were not the consistency of steak, they were jellified and the bottom of the pie was raw."
"Food was very bland and clearly 're heated."
"The food was awful and inedible. My chips were hard and undercooked, they put hot sauce all over my salad."

Cons:
"We waited for check in for over 5 minutes while watching 3 people serving in the restaurant and 1 person behind the bar."
"We were refused dessert as apparently the kitchen was closed at 8.30pm."
"However we waited over 30 minutes to place our drink & food order, even though the pub didn't seem particularly busy."
"Nobody apologised for the wait or explained it."
"After 2 hours of waiting we were told if we don't have reservation we can't have any meal?!"
"The self called manager Josh Watson was useless when we complained."
"It is all ruined by the barman with too may earrings."

"The food was amazing 5* all round."
"Good value too."
"The food was very good quality and the price wasn't too bad either."
"Great value for money."
"And 2 Sunday lunches with 2 sides and 2 drinks was only just a touch over £30."
Cons:
"3 tiny onion rings and no salad etc to justify the almost £14 price."
"Sadly the meal we had here wasn't great yesterday and my stomach is paying for it today."
"They changed us £5 per drink (coke & juice) it was so embarrassing!"
"The pie was awful, it left a grainy oily feeling in my mouth."
"The risotto was like porridge with frozen peas added."
"The mash was like wallpaper paste and the veg was cold."
"The baked beans were stone cold, the tomato was pretty much raw."
Ambience
Pros:
"Pub very clean and had a nice modern rustic look and feel."

"This, together with a warm and cosy atmosphere, made it the perfect road trip stopover."
"Ambience is absolutely lovely here, great relaxing place."
"The hotel is in the picturesque village of Lyndhurst in the New Forest, so its location is fantastic and the building itself is spacious with quaint decor."
Cons:
"Pub was quiet but all crammed into a small room and could see staff having lunch in the next room."
"We had to sit inside being a large party of people, but battled with there being no through ventilation, and that weekend the temperatures were very high."
"The toilet seat was loose, no bed side lights, bulbs missing in two of the lights."
"The door to the shower cubicle was very narrow, which for larger guests would be a nightmare."
"Room was very warm as no air conditioning, wet room was quite dirty and unsafe after use as floor remained wet and slippery."
"The room we booked was freezing cold no heating on and it was only 2 degrees outside."
"Had to sit on the side of the toilet as it was facing towards the wall(my legs were too long)."

"Stayed overnight before a New Forest event. Clean and comfortable rooms. It was a hot Summer week and this place doesn't have aircon so didn't make for a great night's sleep."
"The building was becoming tired but is currently undergoing refurbishment inside and out."
"Our room differently needed some updating."
"Would have benefitted from a fridge and a safe."
"Both rooms were not like as advertised on the website."
"We found the hotel facilities basic at best."
"Would have 5 stars but for the lack of air con or air flow on a 32 degree day!"
