Nice grounds and walks available. Traffic a bit noisy but not too bad. Nice ambience. Easy parking. If we need to stay in that area in future I expect we'll go there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice quaint stay. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A week in the New Forest We stayed for a week getting to know the area and as a base to see some friends nearby. Only managed one yoga class; would have liked to have done at least one more. The restaurant on site gave us options, as did the large patio area at the back, giving us a peaceful spot for a picnic. Easy enclosed walk around large field around back perfect for a dog walk. The hotel is on a busy road, but this does give east access to seaside and New Forest. A fridge in room would have been helpful to keep milk and drinks cold - it was 30 degrees most days. ##### Malcolm Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ramona Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautifully unique and very comfortable. ##### Ramona Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shayne Jun 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Not the best. ##### Shayne Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best hide away / Retreat in the New Forest Amazing stay at The Retreat… Open space, beautiful garden and environment.

Room a bit dusty but nice towels and bath.

The property itself is very clean and well maintained with great parking. Only problem is you have to drive to go anywhere. ##### Garry Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Retreat Very kind and helpful staff, self check-in was easy. Very nice on site restaurant with a good choice of food served until 21.00. There was a nice walk around the edge of a field of sheep which was good to stretch legs after a long drive. Room was main roadside so a bit noisy but that didn't bother me. Room was nice but all the furniture was painted black which was a bit creepy. Would stay again but maybe not in that room. ![The Sheep Field](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A5B527F8AAEC677DF9BAE4D11259C1D0CD0A960F1718255951817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Part of the Restaurant](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4169ABCCB21BFAEA5812D081C2C454F359E9C10D1718255933872.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A seating area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9D3F27326A414620E63A66FD8DE34BF9F4D1AF001718255950157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The Black Bedroom](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0F7B348C9472B4313180F73614B8DABDB1B1D1B71718255948797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Annette Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Jul 10, 2024 Bedrooms at the back are lovely and quiet. Bedrooms at the front will have traffic noise but not through the night. The rooms are well furnished and stylish, towels are lovely and thick and soft! Our room wasn’t serviced between our 2 days stay but we rang for towels which were delivered within 20 mins. Fantastic restaurant next door. Good value for money and would stay again. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### A rather quirky hotel Location is good. There is a bit of traffic noise. Great walks on the property super for dogs. Building is old, floors are uneven ! However I would stay there again. I had to request a shower mat. Bath was too big and no handles so I couldn't use it. ##### Wendy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mandy Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short stay. Great hotel, warm, comfy and clean. Great location and buetifull. Very dog friendly and the room was very spacious. Downside was the no reception and self check in with door codes. Communication was poor to start with as I tried calling the hotel a few times to gain clarity of how to check in. Eventually I received communication from them in a form of an email. ##### Mandy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingeborg Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness We had a wonderful big room. It looked al little bit old but it had a nice atmosphere. We could make us some tea or coffee and had a wonderful view. Nice bathroom also. There was no reception but the restaurant took over this task. Only the toilet was filthy when we arrived. It had several yellow drops under the toilet seat! :( ##### Ingeborg Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian May 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice big room, great shower but noisy , cars going by on main road, hotel supplied earplugs but i can't wear them comfortably, also very hot so wndow needed to be open or a fan supplied ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### James Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Property was supposed to email us 72 hours in advance with entry codes as is not a hotel but an unstaffed building requiring entry codes to front door and room but no advance email received. Had to write hours before arriving to obtain. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Resort Hualalai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Hualalai.h42054.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Huatulco - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Maria-Huatulco-Hotels-Barcelo-Huatulco-All-Inclusive.h869970.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Mississauga/West](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Toronto-MississaugaWest.h16656863.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Montreal Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Montreal-Downtown.h6059201.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d1488-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bermuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bermuda-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d20-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Ladyville (BZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/bze/ottawa-to-belize-city) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ponta Delgada (PDL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pdl/toronto-to-ponta-delgada) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Cancun.d179995.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/44/Cuba)
