One of My Favourite Places to Visit This hotels restaurant is a true gem! The beautiful surroundings create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, making every visit enjoyable. The food is consistently delicious, and I highly recommend the Sunday roast—it's simply outstanding. The staff are always friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Plenty of parking is available, which is a great convenience. Definitely worth a visit!

As I live quite local I’ve often visited for drinks or lunch and for years had planned to have an overnight stay. I finally decided to take my elderly dog for a special treat yesterday and booked a superior double room. On arrival I was greeted by very friendly and helpful staff and enjoyed a drink in the bar. I didn’t think the room quality really reflected the price but was prepared to just accept it for one night. After our drink we returned to our room to find 5 guys digging and drilling right outside our garden door. The noise was horrendous and I was informed that it would continue for at least another hour and again in the morning. I was offered a reduction which I accepted as my elderly dog was tired and not really up for the journey home. Then I was treated to two hours of banging, crashing and shouting coming from the kitchen and hallway and really couldn’t stand anymore more. My poor dog was on edge and what should have been a happy memory for both of us turned into a disaster. After having to get a taxi and train back home I was left feeling utterly disappointed.

Lovely hotel and location, room bit shabby…very dusty…had sofa in which had seen better days..which in my opinion took up too much room. Bathroom was nice size and was clean considering the dusty room. Had breakfast in restaurant in morning it was a bit disappointing as portions were very small for a full English breakfast, the self service had a lot of choice that you could pick from. Staff were very friendly polite and accommodating 😀 overall me and my partner did enjoy our stay there.

This is a real gem of a hotel. We have just returned from a three night stay with our elderly spaniel and cannot fault the hotel in terms of service, location, room, or suitability for dogs. Initially, we were not due to have dinner on all three nights, but given the delicious fare and great service from the team (special mentions for the delightful Sergio and Veronica - thank you both), we ended up eating in the restaurant every evening. Indeed, it is the service that probably sets this hotel apart from its competitors, and the wonderful attention and care given to all visiting dogs. Thank you for a great stay and see you soon.

We had a 4 day break after Boxing Day but it never reached with our expectations. The room was described as superior, which it certainly wasn't. The breakfast was a buffet and not what you would expect for the price paid. We were asked to move room half way through our break, because another family wanted to be next door to some friends. All of these points were taken up with an email to the management company, and they were pretty dismissive of our disappointment. We used to stay there many times before the last take over, but alas, probably not again. A real shame!!!

Really lovely and relaxing stay. Very attentive staff, perfect location for hiking and lots of restaurants/ pubs near by. The room was very good value for money and like the touches of the radio playing when you came in, the Dyson hairdryer and a scenic breakfast. Will definitely stay again.

Excellent hotel. Staff extremely polite and helpful. Room was large but very well heated. Great value for money, especially as a free room upgrade was included. Breakfast was brilliant. Plenty of variety, with both continental and full English available. Quality items for breakfast.

My husband and I came here for a weekend and will definitely return. My husband became unwell on the morning we were due to check out and rather than feeling the pressure to vacate the team encouraged us to take our time and went over and above to ensure that both myself and my husband were well looked after and supported. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and close to the Forest and the roaming ponies. The food is to an exceptionally high standard and good value for money for such good quality. There wasn’t anything I didn’t love!

This is a lovely hotel, staff and service is first class along with gorgeous food and excellent accomodation, and across the road are great walks in forest with many ponies wandering about. This is our second visit and certainly wont be our last.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Forest Park Country Hotel, and I must commend their exceptional service and overall experience. This establishment truly values its customers, ensuring that guests from all walks of life feel welcome and appreciated. The waiting staff are exemplary, providing attentive and professional service that enhances the dining experience. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in every interaction, making the meal enjoyable and memorable. The food at Forest Park Country Hotel is outstanding. Each dish is prepared with the utmost care, reflecting the high standards of fine dining. The flavours, presentation, and quality of the ingredients are worth every penny, and we were more than happy to pay for such a delightful culinary experience. Additionally, the staff's sales skills and positive attitude towards children are noteworthy. They handle every situation with grace and enthusiasm, ensuring that families feel comfortable and well-cared for. This positive environment makes Forest Park Country Hotel a perfect choice for diners of all ages. To my mind, Forest Park Country Hotel is an excellent establishment that excels in service, food quality and presentation, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.

We had a wonderful weekend away from London in this lovely hotel. An old pub with a lot of character. It was really quiet and peaceful… exactly what we needed. Very well located, with views to the forest every morning and a number of great walks. The staff in the hotel is very nice. Breakfast are great with a continental cafe and some warm dishes that you can order. Some rooms are a bit small but overall it’s a great place to stay if going to New Forest.

It's an old building with plenty of character and history, within walkable distance of the local amenities. Had a couple of meals there, the food overall was very good. They also catered for us arriving late on our first day, ensuring we could still have dinner, which was nice of them. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had a lovely time. We definitely enjoyed our visit and would visit again.

Lovely friendly staff, always pleasant and happy to help. Food was really good, rooms were lovely comfortable and well presented. We spent a few days here for a mini break and were so pleased we found it. Right next to entrance of woods for runners, walkers and dog walkers. Would recommend to anyone having a break.

I came here for lunch. The service was good and the food was delicious. I had the sticky sesame chicken and my partner had the supernova burger both were cooked to perfection 👌 it was very busy when we went so I would recommend booking if you want a table.

Esta reseña se basa en mi experiencia en el dÃa y podrÃa ser diferente para ti, pero lo dudo. Excelente servicio de este F & C para llevar y excelente comida para arrancar. Llamé con anticipación y pregunté si cocinaron sin gluten un sábado - se aconsejó que se cocinaba de martes a sábado - ya que un miembro de nuestra fiesta tenÃa un trastorno alimenticio. Cumplió con nuestro pedido y llamó de nuevo una segunda vez y realizó el pedido y se le dijo que se harÃa inmediatamente. Condujo hasta allà y lo recogió después de pagar. Excelente servicio. Para tu información - no entregan por lo que la recolección es la única opción. F & C era excelente y sabroso todo encontrado, sin quejas y platos vacÃos como era la adición en la comida que se espera dentro de una tienda de pescado y patatas fritas que compramos. Tengo que decir que los Saveloy eran excelentes y muy sabrosos. Asà que para resumir, el personal excelente y servicial, la comida fantástica, bueno para personas con alergias alimentarias, todo ordenado muy rápidamente Pruébalo, volverás. Enséñame esto.

Visited the new forest for a family Sunday lunch. The three pubs we tried all booked up so left the forest hoping to find somewhere. By chance we stopped here and so glad we did. Lovely garden for the three children with play equipment. Varied menu with child friendly options. Food came out in a timely way and was hot. Lovely helpful staff. Lovely guy whose people skills were excellent. Bill was reasonable. So what started as a disaster with fed up children turned out to be a very nice lunch.
