Amazing location so close to the town only a 5 minute walk to the lovely shops and restaurants. Also very close to local pubs with in less than a 3 minute walk. Rooms small but fine, the hotel could do with a little tlc But overall for the money it was good value. The food in the hotel wasn't bad, but a little limited if you don't like pizza or a burger you don't have much else to eat. Staff couldn't have been better really amazing. We will go again as the place is in such a great location and amazing staff

I had the absolute pleasure of leading a wedding ceremony at Forest Lodge in Pikes Hill, and the entire experience was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the management team, reception staff, and especially Laura, the wedding coordinator, were incredibly warm, friendly, and professional. They welcomed me so genuinely and supported me throughout the day, making everything run smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful — the layout and décor create such a lovely atmosphere for weddings and other celebrations. It’s a space that feels both elegant and inviting, and it was a joy to work there. I truly hope to work with the Forest Lodge team again. Their kindness, organisation, and dedication to their couples make them stand out, and I would happily recommend them to anyone planning a celebration in the New Forest.

Pleasant hotel with amazing location and nice swimming pool. But people working there were not very helpful sometimes. We stayed 3 night with kids and not even ones got our room cleaned and rubbish was all overfull. Very disappointed with that, should have asked them to clean myself. Good thing is a pool and milk for the morning. Breakfast was very expensive so we didn't have it.

Just a quick visit for coffee this morning to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had our wedding reception here on 29 May 1976 so it was wonderful to be welcomed so warmly by the duty staff. Thanks so much! The hotel is still the beautiful country escape location for a wedding and we can’t recommend the homely atmosphere enough. Best coffee and croissants we have ever had.

Lovely hotel with even lovelier staff. Rooms were well supplied with tea and coffee. My only criticism was the menu, a bit lacking on choice, but we did have a stunning pizza, do try one! There are a couple of pubs within 5 minutes walk if you want something else to eat. We also had an afternoon tea in our deal, very nice!

Walked into this place not having high hopes. On our arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady and she was very professional and friendly. Such a quiet and peaceful get away, the breakfast was lovely. Check in was easy and quick. Lots of things close by to do (adults and kids). Would I come back? 100% I would, couldn’t recommend it more☺️

Loved this hotel. Excellent service, everyone always warm, welcoming & friendly. Clean room & very comfy bed. Paintwork & some fixtures could do with a little spruce up but this did not impact our stay at all. Pool facilities were spotless, breakfast was superb. Would highly recommend & would definitely stay again.

A charming, well-located hotel in Lyndhurst—ideal for exploring the New Forest National Park. The rooms are tidy with neutral decor but a bit compact, and while the pool is somewhat outdated, it’s kept clean.
