A lovely hotel with excellent staff. Great breakfast, I would've stayed for dinner but I wasn't allowed to eat outside (beautiful sunny evening) which was a shame. None of the windows were open in the restaurant it felt a bit stuffy - breakfast and in the evening.
Very welcoming hotel. The decor is excellent. I am being a bit picky, but i think they had some trainee staff in who needed a bit more training, there was no water in the room, and i would have expected the sausages at breakfast to be better. Everything else was great.
The room we chose was appropriately sized, the bed was comfortable and the towels were sufficient and clean. A few issues were encountered. The water was off for around 45-60 mins at a time where weâd just got back and wanted a shower in the evening which was frustrating. The breakfast options were satisfactory only - the cooked breakfast was ok (fried eggs came out in fragments, no hash browns), the fresh options looked a little off putting as they werenât refrigerated while they sat in the buffet in 26 degree morning heat with no air con in the breakfast room. There was AC in the bedroom which was welcome. The hotel overall looked a little tired with paint peeling, a broken ironing board in our room and the iron wasnât a steam variety, there were quite a few dead flies on the window ledges of the stairwells and the breakfast room, and some pigeon droppings on the stairwell window ledge presumably where the window had been left open. The staff were quite welcoming.
A gorgeous boutique hotel. Great location on the High Street in Lyndhurst. A brilliant base for exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas.
All of the staff are friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.
Buffet breakfast very yummy and plenty of it, along with massive pots of tea and coffee.
The weather was glorious, so we were able to sit in the garden and enjoy cocktails, which are 2-4-1 3pm to 6pm daily.
Thank you The Crown Manor House, we will be back and will recommend you without hesitation.
