The Mayflower in New Forest

We chose this pub as it is part of the Butcombe pubs which we have stayed in before and enjoyed their hospitality. Unfortunately, this one seemed to be in need a makeover. There was an off-putting smell of fried food when we first walked in and this was explained by the fact that they had just finished lunch - fair enough but we stayed there three nights and the smell didn't go away. We ate here on the Wednesday and sadly the meal was not what we expected. My husband had the fish and chips and said they were very oily. We ordered a side of onion rings which were cooked in the same batter which seemed to be extremely thick and cloying. The meal came suspiciously quickly i.e. when we ordered the starters appeared 5 mins later. When the plates were cleared the main course was put in front of us!! I realise that there was only another 3 tables being used and no one else was eating but a slight wait between courses would have been acceptable. We were sitting in a booth which had a large hole torn off the seat (in bad need of a makeover). The room was very clean and beds were very comfortable but chipped paint on the walls makes it look worn. We were teased with the fact that we could enjoy their free wifi but it didn't work in all the time we were there. When we checked in we were told that this was due to the heavy rain but we managed to get wifi in all of the other pubs in Lymington. We stayed 3 nights and the pub was never busy, in fact not many people there at all. I don't think they have replaced their tables since covid times and they were still spaced very far apart. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely place for a short break - the manager was great, always so helpful and worked so hard ! Great breakfast and great location right on the marina so easy walks onto the Solent Way and into town.

Recently visited for breakfast - what a great experience - lovely selection of well cooked and very tasty food- especially the Butcombe full English and the eggs Benedict - will definitely make it a regular thing- also visited for Sunday roast- fantastic beef and pork and lovely Yorkshire puddings-can highly recommend!

Chose the Mayflower as an overnight stop before boarding the ferry to the Isle of Wight. We were not disappointed. After almost 400 miles of driving and both of us in our 80's it was a delight to receive such a lovely welcome. We had booked a sea view room and we were not disappointed. The room was spotless, huge and extremely well supplied with tea, coffee etc. Breakfast was excellent but we had to wait a long time for it. The waitress came out and apologised for the delay saying there had been a disaster in the kitchen. We still wonder what had happened. When it did arrive it was excellent. The food was very good quality. My favourite was the crispy streaky bacon. My wife loved her eggs royale. Overall an excellent stay despite there being no lift to first floor. One of the staff did offer to take our luggage upstairs for us and, although it took us some time, we did manage to climb the stairs without help. We will be back.

I stayed for a week to visit family in the area. After a difficult journey I was greeted by warm friendly staff who remained helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The room was well decorated and had everything I needed, except a refrigerator,. The bed was kingsize and comfortable although it creaked. The bathroom was huge and well appointed except there was no plug for hairdryers etc only a shaver point. Bromley shampoo, body wash, soap and hand cream was nice, but the addition of hair conditioner would be appreciated. I enjoyed my week in The Mayflower and would highly recommend it.Parking is easy and the restaurant very good. I ate there with family several times, we all enjoyed the food and the service was exceptional.. The breakfasts were delicious and generous.

Nice for a pint backdoor onto the large Bath road car park.

The Mayflower has a superb location overlooking the Lymington river, the marina, the Isle of Wight ferry and the salterns. The cobbled quay and high street are an easy 15-20 min walk away. However it's outside appearance is tired with peeling paint and it gives off an ambience that it has seen better days...guests use an old chipped staircase with a musty smell and bad carpet. We booked the best room which was very large with a lovely big shower room and comfy bed. The furnishings were what you'd call 'distressed' or 'shabby chic' and I was fine with that, after all it's an old building. However I didn't think there was anything chic about the large sandy colored, upholstered wing chair that had a large unmentionable stain on the seat that looked like someone had peed on it! The bar area was nice with lots of sailing memorabilia and the cooked breakfast was very good but I opted to have a croissant one morning which was baked to order. This was a bad idea because croissants need to cool slowly and be served at room temp so the outside is crispy and all the lovely airy layers stay intact. Mine imploded as I cut it and steam escaped leaving me with a flat pastry with all the steamy layers stuck together! We stayed in Sept when it was quiet, however on sunny summer days with all the outside patio tables full of tourists enjoying live music and BBQ I imagine it's lively and busy.

Very disappointing! My chicken in the roast dinner seemed to have bones in it! More like a piece of the carcass! The roast potatoes were hard.Too much cabbage & the Yorkshire pudding was enormous & soggy!

Room was dark, fridge was very noisy kept us awake. It was also in need of tlc. Poor choice at breakfast, berry compot was stewed apple or something with apples. We were disappointed as it was our anniversary and thought it was not worth the money we paid.

Very good food and excellent service

We stayed here for a midweek break in the New Forest, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. All staff were very efficient and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Our room overlooked the Solent, and we regularly watched the IOW ferry arrive! Breakfast were very good, plenty of variety as well. Ideal location for coastal walks as well the New Forest. Plenty of car parking too!

A very friendly place to stay in. The staff are very good. Nothing is too much trouble. They are very dog friendly too. Biscuits are available on the bar. The food is good, nice menu. Beers are good. Worth having repeat stays.

Lovely rooms and all the staff are brilliant

A huge pub with a large garden right near the water and about 15 minutes walk from the town. We sat on a lovely high table for a drink. Looking around the pub we’d like to have dinner as the menu was attractive and the tables were made up to look like it would be a good experience. I was surprised by how not busy it was. Though it was a Tuesday afternoon in October. Maybe in the Summer it is packed.

We booked for a local wedding and the team couldn’t be more helpful letting us drop bags early and then a late return! Breakfast was amazing…and much needed. Room was ideal well furnished and comfy!

Good size portions, great service, tasty food and dog friendly

The Mayflower is in a brilliant location for a dog friendly stay. The staff are all brilliant so helpful nothing is too much trouble. The rooms we stayed on were perfect. The food menu is good and varied. The breakfast menu is the best I have experienced in any hotel I have stayed in. Well done and thank you to everyone for a lovely two days

Everything alright , the rooms, the Inn, the surroundings, near to the ferry,

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Amazing Yorkshire puddings and generous helpings. Fresh cooked veg and succulent meat. Pudding was delicious too! Worth the drive from Southampton for!

Great meal on the terrace and service was excellent

Warm welcome, friendly staff all very pleasant. Room was spacious, it wasn't until the evening when we put lights on that we realised how dimly lit it was also no plug sockets near a mirror to use hairdryer or straighteners. Slept ok, again warm reception when we went for breakfast which while it looked good was cold -nobody asked how it was so we had to find the waiter on leaving to tell him -said he would tell the chef. When we returned to the room later in the day the bed hadnt been made or the bathroom sink cleaned. We’d asked for a plug for the sink but no sign of one We had to leave early the next day so missed breakfast as it began at 8am.

Lovely pub, in great location. Staff very friendly and attentive, service excellent and good food although menu is slightly limited. Love this place.

So, the wife and I had a weekend away at The Mayflower. The pub/hotel itself was very clean, and was greeted by friendly enough staff. We got shown to our room, where we dropped off our bags and had a quick snoop around, as you do. Room was very nice and clean, amenities etc all very nice. Noticed there was no coffee in the room, we asked the staff for this, was told that it will be in our room once we are back from our walk and dinner. This never happened, so had to pop down and ask again. No real biggie, but attention to detail. The bar wasn't that busy at the time of asking, so it would of only taken a couple of minutes. We had an early dinner on the Sunday where both the wife and I both ordered the roast dinners. All very nice bar the potatoes, they tasted and looked like they had been pre cooked for about a week, would normally complain that you don't get enough spuds, but this time we were thankful. Back up to the room to watch some TV and have a chill. the TV is connected to a Sky box and the only remote is the Sky remote. This was great, especially as most TV watched now is on non terrestrial channels. Couldn't turn the TV over, the box was situated behind the TV so you couldn't turn the channels over until I strategically balanced the box on top of the TV. A small tidy shelf would have been perfect for this to sit on. It then began to get dark and the lighting in the room became apparent. The emergency lighting bulkhead situated over the door with the prismatic diffuser and green indicator lit the room up like it was a runway at an airport!!! To try to sleep with this on, was quite difficult, even with trying to put a pillow over our heads to block it out. Spoke to the staff the next day and they said they had had complaints prior about the same thing, all because apparently there was an accident a while ago and that the person injured was looking into suing them,. The fact what we paid for the room (over £150 a night inc breakfast) and for the staff to know about the issue, you would think that they would provide an eye mask or even change the lighting to something that isn't such an eye sore (literally!!). Happy to propose new lighting, as this is what I do!! The final day we went down to breakfast, it was very quiet, besides the staff member and cleaner moaning about working conditions etc. etc. There is a time and a place for stuff like that and the fact it was in front of guests, wasn't the time, or the place. All in all, Lymington was a lovely place to visit, the pub/hotel was very nice, bar the few bits I have mentioned. Would I recommend it to friends, or others, probably not; and when we visit the lovely area again, will probably look at somewhere else

Loved everything about our stay. Beds so comfy, food delicious, great location and views.

Wonderful night in a Top establishment. This is an old pub that has been renovated and modernised sensitively and made into a comfortable place to eat and stay. Olivia and Shea made our evening at the Mayflower outstanding. They are very good at providing service for the restaurant and information on local activities. We are very grateful to them.

We had a most enjoyable visit to The Mayflower in early September. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they gave us and our Springer Gizmo a great welcome. The food was delicious, and the breakfast offered an excellent selection. Our room was comfortable and spacious, lots of amenties and good quality toiletries. Thank you Marcell and team for making us so welcome.

Stayed in sept 24 with my daughter and 2 dogs. Really lovely hotel. Great location. Great staff. Delicious food. Super dog friendly. Comfortable room with great amenities for humans (hairdryer, iron and ironing board, freeview tv, toiletries, tea/coffee). Large beer garden for when the weather is nice. My only comment about the rooms is whilst it’s dog friendly, there was no water bowl or bed provided for the pooch. We had our own but we’ve always had them provided in the rooms at other hotels. Apart from that it’s super dog friendly and will go back

After walking around the Lymington village, myself & my Mum stopped here for a drink. I think it’s probably a lot better here when it’s in season & there’s an atmosphere. We came in April & it was a nice pub but nothing special, we only had drinks no food. I’d like to re-visit another time in summer as I imagine it’s a lot better then, the beer garden was really bit & looked like they have entertainment/food outside.

Great service. Roast dinner Is amazing. Do not make the mistake I did and go for the dish and chips. Terrible food envy. Service very good

Limited menu with mostly spicy or garlic prepared food. Ok on vegetarian options. There is a lovely outdoor garden for drinks or dining..

Had a perfect 2 days away, staying at The Mayflower. Everything was great from beginning to end, Dinner was lovely, highly recommend the Lamb Koftas, and the Breakfast was spot on !!! Thank-you.

Been here for lunch a few times when visiting the area. Lovely views, food and ambiance.

We did enjoy our stay but there were a number of issues with our room and with the overall service. Also a lot of loud dogs, especially in the restaurant.

A lovely pub with great outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and the fish finger baps were delightful. I would definitely go back!

Sunday lunch was a perfect English sunday lunch. Our party had the beef, pork and fish and chips main courses, and all were very generous and tasty. The mezza starter was just right for our group, and the puddings lived up to the expectation of a Sunday lunch in England. All served by friendly staff and reasonably quickly.

Had a really lovely lunch here after a long drive from Wales and before going to the seawater baths. We sat inside on a sunny August day but outside looked lovely and busy. The staff were really friendly and helpful, food was served quickly and was very tasty. No complaints and would definitely eat here again

Very good 👍 when looking for a pub for food & garden. Good for families.

Nice food - loved the gluten free fish and chips but others thought the fish pie was mediocre

What a lovely place, went with a group of 40 people, we pre ordered and everything was perfect, can't ask for any better and staff extremely friendly.

Great location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

Lovely pub. We didn't eat apart from breakfast which was excellent. Pricey on the drinks though. Nice room and comfy bed but lacked area to sit with an electric socket and mirror for hair etc. Did notice cobwebs in the corner right next to my shoulder at breakfast ! But would highly recommend. Great location.

The Mayflower Hotel provided a vibrant environment for our stay. Excellent room, comfortable bed and beautiful breakfast.

Our room was beautiful and the bathroom was amazing . It was huge with a lovely rolltop bath and large shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful, only thing we weren't keen on was the sourdough bread for breakfast. There was no alternative! Ideal for the Isle of Wight ferry which was a 5/10 minutes drive away!

Bit dissapointed with the customer service, two of our wines blew over in the wind before we had hardly had a sip, too busy looking after our daughter as she enjoyed the play area, I asked at the bar if they would kindly replace just one and the bar staff asked the manager Marcelle who said no. We ate dinner here so it seems a shame that the customer service couldn’t be extended for a replacement wine!

A lovely mini break with my Mum staying at the Mayflower. Lovely pub right on the marina so we had a great sea view. Fabulous food and very friendly service. Short walk into the very pretty town of Lymington. Would definitely recommend

Outstanding Gluten free fish and chips on Saturday BUT today the fryer was contaminated and so my wife had to have the fish grilled with mash and salad. I still opted for the fish and chips but the batter was oily and thick, nowhere as good as Saturday.

Hard working staff and very helpful, great location, the rooms were very comfortable and neat. Great food, good beers and its a good pub too.

Really friendly welcome at The Mayflower. We cycled there and the manager allowed us to safely store our bikes inside at night. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. We ate in the evening, also good. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Nice pub with a great beer garden Park for the little ones Close to the sea what more would you want.

Was very disappointed that we arrived back at 10pm and were unable to get into the bar to have a drink, all locked up! In addition, the bed and pillows were rather uncomfortable On the plus side, the breakfast was great.

Staying on Berthon Marina and recommend to the Mayflower for lunch so good we will be going back tomorrow.

Beautiful room lovely hotel we had a lovely stay in a great location will definitely be back , very helped and friendly staff , Dawn & Graham

We came here for dinner last night, from the minute we walked through the door to the minute we left the service was on point. Great selection on the menu and very impressed with the children’s menu too. I would highly recommend this for service, quality of food and location. Will be somewhere we’ll visit again when in the area.

Lovely pub always pop in for a pint when walking around lymington

The best value Inn in the area, I booked a last minute room and was very impressed by the polite bartender who showed me to my room. The room was clean and tied into the pub's style nicely, with complimentary teas, shortbread and waters which really put the cherry on the cake. The shampoos and conditioners smelt divine too, it's good to see them not cutting corners with cheap options like other hotels I've stayed at. I woke up to a tasty breakfast that catered to my vegetarian needs that was not all-you-can-eat although with the sensible portion size, I wouldn't have needed more anyway! The pains au chocolat was the best I've ever tasted as well. Great hotel, great food, great service. Five stars.

We had a quick stop after a long walk. Good food, beer and cider chooses. Will be back again ! Service was great but it was early Friday afternoon.

A gem of a pub, close to the water and just a short walk to town. Rooms beautifully presented with immaculate ensuite. Breakfast made freshly as you wait, with a good, spicy Shakshuka being my favourite. Cracking burger also, one of the best burgers I've had in a few years. Marcel and team could not have been nicer or more helpful. A lovely break for us when we were in need of of a good break after work. Thank you Mayflower, we will definitely come back.

I had an excellent meal here with my family. We came on a Sunday so we were able to have the roast dinner. I had the beef burger instead and that was really nice. For pudding, we had the mini biscoff doughnuts and they were incredible. Overall, it's a great place.

Second visit here. Staff very friendly and professional. Food was great especially the pork rib. We brought our granddaughter who had the chicken and chips, great portion size good value for money. I joined the butcombe loyalty program and received 25% off our bill which happens on a Wednesday. This Will definitely be on our list of go to places to eat and drink.

Great spot. Next to the yacht club. Plenty of parking and very quiet. Great room, tastefully decorated without overdoing the ship theme. A very nice bathroom with plenty of nice towels and a great shower. Dog friendly. Our dogs slept soundly in the room. The little balcony overlooking the garden kept them entertained. Cheerfully treated by the very hardworking Shae, who also was a great guide to the town, suggesting places etc. Considering this is one the most reasonably priced places to stay in Lymington, it is very very good.

After a busy day exploring the New Forest had a lovely meal and a drink. Staff friendly.

Lovely room 1 overlooking the garden and harbour. Bedroom and en suite very generous size. (March) Pub was quiet with loads of parking. Quiet area on the edge of town with easy walk in, takes a few minutes. Breakfast was unrushed and plentiful. 2 dogs had also stayed and we had no idea. No rush with checkout. Mentioned to hosts that green emergency light in room seemed overly bright when lights were out. Good thick curtains to block outside light and muffle noise otherwise. Would stay again.

Great food. Great staff. Super friendly place.

Was passing by after a good walk around the marshes, popped in for a bite and drink and how very glad we did! The two young women on duty at lunch made us feel genuinely welcome, were extremely helpful, efficient, and all with a lovely smile on their faces - a total delight 😊 Food was great too. Presented with care and top notch flavours. The Thai broth accompanying deliciously sweet mussels was as good as anything you might get from a top Thai restaurant and all mopped up with tasty toasted sourdough 😋 HIGHLY recommended!!!

Came in on the off chance off a meal and wasn't disappointed. Lovely food and great service.

Great location for Lymington. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable rooms. Great pub.

This was our first visit to The Mayflower, but it certainly won't be the last! Food, service and overall ambiance all excellent. Highly recommended.

Went in for a drink during a walk. Had a nice beer.

First things first - the rooms are delightful, thought I notice that, in line with many other places recently, covid, the room rates have gone up rather a lot. But if you can stay for a couple of days out of season it becomes better value. And it is worth it. The modern idiom of boutique hotel approaches its apogee here, and combined with a great restaurant and a wonderful pub (with garden for spring and summer visits) you won't be disappointed. And of coruse, Lymington is delightful little plce to visit with all the attractions of a bustling seaside yachting harbour.

We stayed at the Mayflower for 3 nights on a dinner bed and breakfast deal. We were with our Irish Terrier - Finnley and had a fantastic time. The room was lovely and a quite big - plenty of room for the dog crate. The staff were all really nice and could not do enough to help. Breakfast was lovely and food in the evening was nice although there is just the standard menu with no specials - to be expected midweek in February. The Mayflower was totally dog friendly which was really refreshing as we sometimes find that places advertising this are really just dog-tolerant. I would highly recommend this hotel for dog owners. The location by the marina is excellent and you can walk straight out to the nature reserves or alternatively its about a 10 minute walk to the centre of town. We really enjoyed staying here and will visit again.

Fantastic staff & food it was a lovely comfortable place to stay & very close to the I O W Ferry

Lovely night at the Mayflower with our two boys. Our room was perfect, really clean, comfy beds, beautifully decorated. Slight bit of noise at night due location of room but was fine was pub was closed. Food was great, we had an evening meal, all the food was delicious, and breakfast was equally good. We will definitely be retuning.

A lovely spot for a drink in Lymington, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There was plenty of draught beers, ciders and lagers to choose from, as well as an extensive list of spirits and cocktails. There is also a nice garden and outdoor area when the sun is shining. We didn’t eat, but it sounded a great menu, and I will definitely stop for lunch next time I’m in Lymington. It’s also a great start or end point for a range of fabulous walks.

We chose this pub for an evening meal with visiting family, having experienced a very tasty lunch with friends back in the summer. The staff were really friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious and piping hot. We would highly recommend it. Thank you

Great pie! My wife said it's the best she's ever had! Wish I'd had it too 😄

Fab place to stay, lovely, friendly staff. Great car park and walkable into Lymington. Dinner looks good and breakfast was really delicious. Two things, the teabags had tea stains dripped over them from the last people who stayed which wasn't great, and I had to move the bed as I dropped something that rolled underneath and found some old tissues underneath, so maybe check underneath more often. Honestly only a small grumble though as bathroom and room itself was clean and I've told others about how lovely it is.

Excellent food, drink and service.

Had a one night stay and it was just perfect. Great staff, lovely room and a nice warm fire in the lovely bar/restaurant. The room was really cosy and warm. Recommended.

Great place to stay and the staff were wonderful.

Totally awesome breakfast with family. The food was fantastic, and the staff were very attentive. The coffee was especially good and hot! Will be returning. Thank you for a great breakfast experience.

Delicious and plentiful food. Mussels dish is highly recommended as the sauce was so tasty. Great service. Highly recommended

Overnight stay, lovely location. Very comfortable room , lovely lunch and breakfast. Very relaxing.

We recently stayed for a couple of nights -the bedroom was well decorated with a comfy bed and hooray a bath and shower in the bathroom! Breakfast was fantastic! Great staff with a lovely atmosphere and really good evening dinners too-look forward to visiting again-thank you

We have visited the Mayflower a few times when in Lymington, it is a short walk from the yacht haven where we stay, has play equipment in the garden for the children and lots of lovely cosy seating areas. We visited on Sunday for lunch, had the most delicious sausage roll to start and a very tasty chicken roast. Staff all very friendly and accommodating

We had the roast. Children had chicken we had beef. Food was relatively tasty although potatoes were a bit bland and there wasn’t near enough gravy. We were also charged 10% service charge without being asked first (later found its optional) which would have been fine if there were loads of us or if the service was good (wasn’t great) but to have it added to the bill felt a bit like robbery. Get that it goes to the staff but all they did was bring our dinner which is literally the bare minimum.

A far cry from previous owners. No food now allowed outside in what used to be the busiest pub garden in the area. Seriously awful beers on draft top off a soon to fail establishment that the town could do with being great again.

What an absolutely lovely place! Stayed here for three nights: great food, brilliant breakfasts, very comfortable rooms and wonderful staff, led by Marcel, what a nice man! Also lovely walks from the door, a great area to explore. Thanks to the Mayflower team!

The food was poor quality and expensive. Won’t be returning.

Nice place, good view and lovely staff. Best fish and chips and burger in the area. I would definitely recommend :)

Really nice friendly pub where we had a good quality meal in a chilled atmosphere. Staff were attentive. Food was very tasty.

Good location, but unfortunately very poor quality food. We had to request them to replace some items on our plate as they were stone cold and stale. The meal was extremely expensive and no apologies were given by staff for the poor food! Real waste of money and won’t be returning unless it’s for a drink only.

Came in on a Thursday at 4pm to have a meal but told they stop serving at 2.30pm and restart again at 6pm - it didnt say this on the website (no times stated, so presumed it was all day service). We had a drink still but wished we hadn't - so expensive! We ordered 1 bottle of Corona and a Havana 3 rum and cola - it was a double but this is a cheap rum and I had to have a bottle of cola as they only had diet on tap. But still - £18! I've had the same order in other places and it's been no where near this price. Will not bother visiting again.

All positive - not a single negative! Service was wonderful, food was very yummy.. the doughnuts were made fresh- they were so good! We ate outside and its lovely. Everything was perfect. Thank you. We had fish finger sandwich and mushroom flatbread. Delicious! Shay was a sweetie too!

Fantastic location next to the Marina. Room pleasant enough, if a little gloomy light-wise; very comfy bed, shower and bathroom absolutely fine. Friendly and attentive staff, food very good.

Popped into The Mayflower for impromptu lunch with husband and dog in tow 😊 lovely menu with helpful, friendly staff. Will definitely visit again .

Lovely lunch at The Mayflower, food was delicious and staff were very friendly! Cannot wait to return, wound highly recommend!

I hate to say it, but the experience here was really poor. I want to state upfront that the quality of ingredients was very good but that’s about all I can say positive about the experience. Firstly with a disabled wheelchair user we were initially told that we couldn’t be served on the grass, and we would have to move up around the front of the pub through the main entrance & back through the complete pub and into the terrace, of which only one section was accessible for wheelchairs and would’ve been quite small and blocked any other customers from the area. Thankfully, one of the staff was sensible and we were allowed to be served on the grass. We also had a rambunctious Labrador with us which would’ve created even more merry hell if we’d moved to the terrace. The food/bar snacks was incredibly expensive considering the lack of portion size. For example, I will enclose a picture of the calamari . I would ask you whether this was worth £8.50. I do realise that prices have gone up but charging £4.50 for the worlds smallest portion of chips was another injury to the insult. My mother ordered the mackerel pâté and whilst it was good, and of an appropriate size we were served cucumber ribbons that contained basically only the skin of the cucumber and were inedible. My father ordered the sausage roll, which was exactly just that and again at £6 with no trimmings of any description, except some very strange leaves of wilted marjoram(that’s my best guess as it looked like a twig had blown on to the plate). No one came to clear the plates, and I couldn’t be bothered to complain considering the complete lack of understanding about serving someone with disabilities at the start of the engagement. I should’ve gone with my gut and we should’ve left after the drinks.

Booked for 2 nights in this hotel, however we never made it past the bar. We booked through Hotels.com for the 2 nights. On arrival we walked into the bar and spoke to a lady at the bar saying that we had a reservation. She looked rather confused and said that they where full and couldn’t find our reservation. Obviously we were a bit shocked having driven for the last four hours to get there and was looking forward to a meal and a drink. We stood at the bar and another lady swept across and started shouting that you must have booked for 2024, no my itinerary states the date and 2023. Again I was told I shouldn’t have used Hotels.com. If I shouldn’t use hotels.com why advertise on their website. This was not helping the situation! Which I politely explained. At that point as no help was coming from management and no phone signal in the pub, something I kept mentioning, we walked out and called Hotels.com They where helpful. It would of been kind and help a potential customer out by letting us use there telephone/internet to help us find alternative accommodation, but no. A couple of customers came out to talk to us in the car park and offer alternative hotels locally, more than what the staff did!! Terrible terrible terrible!! DO NOT RECOMMEND The management was so rude and unhelpful.

Decided to try out the fish and chips from the food truck in the garden. It was such a beautifully sunny spot so the perfect day to visit. All the food was cooked freshly in front of us and it was absolutely delicious. So much choice too! Excellent 👌

Great service and good atmosphere.
