The Old Farmhouse Restaurant and Tea Rooms in New Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Accidentally stumbled on this gem on Friday lunchtime whilst en route to Southampton. Beautiful place, full of charm and atmosphere (and low ceilings!) Staff we brilliant, very friendly and super efficient, the menu was nice and diverse and when it arrived, it did not disappoint. Excellent paninis and cream tea. Parking for patrons only (more parking nearby) and we were allowed to leave the car in their car park whilst we explored the rest of the village with its quaint horse and carriage rides and a plethora of witchcraft shops (amongst other interesting independent outlets). Inside and outside seating, it was just a magical experience.

We had cakes and drinks here. The portion size of the cakes are huge and very tasty. They have outdoor seating as well and indoor. And we felt relaxed and in no rush to leave.

Warm welcome from young overworked team member, Had a very good warmed scone, eventually served, staff young as mentioned and clearly ready to go home. The whole experience though disappointing, years ago a lovely clean Interesting venue, full of charm and character, now just functional, weeds growing well at side and back, sloppy and uncaring, come on people, why are standards disappearing?!

We were friendly welcomed. The dining rooms are pleasant. We took cream tea with scones: they are very good and well served. In summary, I recommend this nice restaurant.

Took a detour here for lunch returning home from holiday in the Wimborne area. Parking was easy and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. Staff were very friendly, took our orders promptly and returned with our food in no time. Don't know where the bad reviews have come from. Note of caution. Be on the lookout for loose cattle and ponies on the approach to this lovely place.

This place must have changed hands. The service was terrible 3 young people working - no idea of good service. We had 3 cream teas- only one scone which had been frozen. Tasted like doughy bread. Price £7.65 for one scone , a branded tub of cream and a small pot of jam and a drink. Very disappointed and this was a regular for our family as we are quite local. Only tip I would give - unless service and food improve find somewhere else… This place will always be busy given its location

We love visiting this fabulous tearoom! We drive from Northampton to the New Forest and this is always our first stop for breakfast! They offer a good choice and their cooked breakfast is lovely. The staff are always friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!

We have used this lovely cafe a lot over the last few months. Always great food and friendly service. It sells proper food at sensible prices. There should be more like this.

Set in a lovely part of the village, with ponies roaming free outside it was such a find when we arrived. The staff were so welcoming, the food was great and service fast. Lovely place and we recommend.

As previous reviews from others, it's correct. Can't fault the food....when it eventually came, but service is very poor. Girl who took order looked like a deer in headlights, didn't seem to understand what was being said. 3 plates came out, had to send one back as incorrect changes hadn't been noted. My lunch didn't arrive at all, she hadn't written it down which is crazy as I said to her 4 meals and 4 drinks which she agreed to 🤷 No apologies whatsoever. Waited for bill which never came so had to go looking for someone. Dissapointing service

We were visiting Bournemouth from Saturday 23rd March-Monday 25th March 2024 and this was the first place we stopped after our long drive from North London! I had the leek and cheese lasagna,it was delicious!

Stopped here for breakfast, my husband said it was one of the best full English ones he has ever had ! No grease just tastey well cooked food. The service was quick and efficient and they were very busy by the time we left.

... a pity about the service. The restaurant wasn't overly busy. Plenty of available tables. We chose to sit outside and after checking we were told it was table service. Eventually someone came out after a 15-20 minute wait and took our order. Turns out there was a couple behind us who'd been waiting for 30 minutes... When the food came we were asked if we wanted cutlery. Said no but suggested having our drinks would be nice....' What did you order?' Drinks brought to us.... no sugars offered. Eating panini's? No napkins. Think there were only 2 staff working and all seemed very chaotic. When asking for the bill, the waitress said she was going to get the card machine and we never saw her again. At the risk of running out of parking, we ended up going inside to pay rather than wait. We don't mind doing that. What we mind is being told they'll come to us and then not appearing. Although the food tasted nice, a lack of good customer service unfortunately overrules and therefore it's questionable whether we'd go back.

The BEST Cream Tea to be had here. Lovely helpful staff, fantastic!! Beautiful setting and amazing building to be in. Love it ❤

Reliably good tea room in the middle of the New Forest. Good choice of drinks, cakes and meals. Service excellent. Lovely building inside and out. Excellent place to stop for refreshment.

Went here with my family for breakfast. Very busy which is a good sign. We had a very good breakfast and the service was good. The room was a tad chilly for my grandchildren though. I good experience otherwise and we will back at some point

Lovely food, staff very welcoming and polite, we took our dogs and they’re very dog friendly. Well worth a visit if you’re in Burley.

food was excellent, well worth the money and time. polite workers. But, this little bald boy (kind of ugly) was eyeing me up. BE aware of him when coming.

the food was unbelievable and honestly the staff made the experience that much better props to the chef it was so good id want it for breakfast lunch and dinner sadly only had lunch xD Would recommend for any occasion watch out on dates lads they have some very handsome workers one in general About 6 foot chizzeled sharp jawline ;) the little bald one working his socks off brought a smile to my face the what i can only assume is the manager was a pleasure very wise and had some impeckable stories, the jokes some not so professional would come will be recommending xx

We went to have lunch whilst on holiday in the New Forest - we had our dog with us and when they advertised 'dog friendly' they certainly lived up to their promise - our anxious pup felt so comfortable there, she actually started !! Wonderful service, very welcoming and beautiful food - compliments to the chef!!

Always a good breakfast albeit a little over priced. Hot drinks are served before the breakfast which means you have drank them before the breakfast arrives. Would prefer them to be served at the same time. A pot of coffee would be a nice touch rather than just a single cup. Or maybe offer a free top-up.

5 of us went to the tea rooms expecting to have breakfast but arrived 15 minutes to late and was told breakfast was over and that’s fine but, one friend asked if she could have a poached egg on toast only to be told the chef would have turned the water off now ??? But she could have fried egg instead this was refused as she doesn’t eat fried food. In the end we had tea and toasted tea cakes, well I say toasted but to be honest they were hardly toasted and stone cold. The waitress who took our order returned to the counter and it was obvious that she was talking about us as the other waitress she spoke to turned round to look at us, both obviously saw that I knew this and turned away very quickly, when our tea came another friend had to asked for her cup to be changed as it was dirty. From the outside the tea rooms looks lovely but inside was it was very cold, it was so cold everyone in there sat with their coats on. There was only one ladies toilet inside available for 5 people waiting as the other cubicle was out of order, the toilet was on an angle and very low and the floor could do with a good clean as could the outside toilet. All in all we will not return to this tea room if we return next year.

Lunch with friends and we were welcomed by very friendly staff. Nice range of vegan choices (the vegan buger and fries was impressive) and lovely to see GF options too. My cottage pie was delicious. Very pleasant visit and we all enjoyed the food.

Called in for lunch,after a walk in the forest.ordered 2 sandwiches tea & latte food very fresh & bonus of salad garnish & crisps good value for the money. Very friendly staff who made a fuss of our dog.

My visit was very disappointing, I agree with Richard's recent review. This tea shop is using the reputation of Burley to get its customers through the door, but is letting itself down. Just ordered tea and cake in the afternoon. I had to ask the waitress to stop putting her fingers inside the cups and get her to wash them again, they were stained despite going through the dishwasher. Staff uniform needs to be smartened up too. Cake was mediocre and synthetic, probably not "homemade". Toilets were dirty and looked as though the floor hadn't been swept properly in quite a long time. It looks quaint from the outside, but is shabby inside. It is using poor quality crockery and tableware, and it is not the "quaint" tea shop experience I was hoping for. Give this tea shop a miss and find a better one in the New Forest

Thank you so much for your friendliness and kindness when we had a flat tyre. It lifted our day. We hope we can visit again to enjoy your hospitality.

On holiday in Lyndhurst & just looking around Burley. Had breakfast at hotel, so just wanted cup of coffee & maybe something light. Hottest day of year. Shown to inside table by young, friendly waitress, who gave us time to decide. I only wanted coffee, but wife decided on toasted teacake. Delivered promptly & teacake was huge. Jam came in small sealed jar (which everyone serves nowadays) & which we prefer to an open pot of jam. Wasn't homemade, but didn't claim to be. While we were there, a few customers asked if they could change tables from outside to inside, for shade & nothing was too much trouble for staff. Horses came & stood by window & waitress was quite chatty to us & explaining about life in the forest. Would like to return to Burley, just for this tearoom alone.

We was too late for breakfast but enjoyed a bite to eat. I had a cream tea, my daughter and husband had bacon rolls and chips. Lovely and quaint, friendly welcoming staff. Lovely little find. We would definitely recommend.

Was riding by on the motorbikes and decided to stop for a cuppa. Lovely menu, the food was delicious, all the cakes are freshly cooked on site. Very friendly staff, under new management since last year apparently, ended up chatting to one of the new owners, very friendly, lovely atmosphere.

Took a detour off the A31 and so glad we did. Staff were all super friendly and efficient. Food was lovely. I like butter with my cream tea but the scone was so fresh it was still warm...delicious. Our whole family sampled a range of dishes and all were thoroughly delighted. This will become a regular stop for sure!

We were staying nearby at Burley Manor but decided to pop in for breakfast as they had a lovely sunny spot. We really enjoyed the full English and poached eggs deluxe - proper homely breakfast. Service was great and friendly and we felt the brekkie was very good value for money.

We stopped here a couple of times during the week. Firstly for coffee and cake. Our second visit was breakfast. Both times the service was friendly and personal. Different servers both times and on each occasion, they were lovely. Coffees were great as was breakfast and cakes. Well worth a visit

Stopped off here for a late breakfast/early lunch. Have to say the food was lovely. We ate outside with relaxed surroundings. Glad we ventured here

Stopped off for lunch and enjoyed it so much that we returned for breakfast the next day. Food was amazing and the service

Visited on Tuesday 25th August 2020 - On the way back from our Dorchester Mini Break. After a short drive in horrendous weather, we went off-route from the A31 in the New Forest and stumbled upon this lovely tea room (The Old Farmhouse Burley) which did a fabulous breakfast for what we thought was an amazing £9.75 each considering it included tea and a round of toast as well as being a full English, but with the government discount scheme in place it came in at £9.75 for the pair of us! Great service and wonderfully cooked. We will be back

Our group of 6 had to wait some time to be seated as it was a very busy period. We were not an easy group as everyone wanted something different: mixed grill; ploughman's lunch; cheese and beans jacket potato; cream tea. But the hard working staff coped well. Ploughman's was a bit average but everything else good and the mixed grill was excellent.

Just stopped here for lunch, wish I’d kept walking. Had to request NHS track and trace app. Panninis were undercooked, tepid and underfilled. Salad leaves were bedraggled and had to ask several time for condiments. Diet Coke was tasteless. Staff were trying hard but appeared overworked and forgetful. Try somewhere else!

Went for a "cream tea", well it is the New Forrest, excellent service and the tea was great as well. Normal Covid restrictions in place, so very reassuring. Well worth a visit and from the menu the Sunday Lunch looks great.

Had a great welcome although they were very busy. We did have to wait to be seated because of Covid as they had to sanitizer the table and chairs before we could sit down. They have a very good menu ewe all went for the granary . The fillings were very good I had the cheeses and chutney and it was really very tasty. The others had the tuna and ham. It all came with crisps and salad. The pot of tea wS excellent value think they all had at least 2 cups each. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were lovely very chatty. Great value for money and can’t wait to go again and have a cream tea.Thank you for a lovely lunch

We have visited this tea room as a family for 55 years and consistently despite changes in ownership they have the best scones in the UK without a doubt. We opted for the cream tea and had the choice of traditional black current jam or strawberry, service was good. Slight room for improvement would be that the staff seem to rush about which is not really in keeping with the cream tea environment, also the kitchen door was open with constant chatter, we were sat at a table near the stairs where everyone that passed caught the back of my chair, and finally cram and jam used to come in small bowls rather than original containers.All that said still the best cream tea ever.

The food was delicious, fairly priced and arrived quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. A little slow when things got busy (we went there twice we liked it so much!), but can't really fault it otherwise.Would recommend for a quick bite, coffee or meal. We had breakfast and a coffee there, lovely spot for it.

Thank you for a great breakfast today it was yummy, hot, great service and v polite staff. Great find recommend it😀

Lovely little place. Great food all local produce very tasty perfect exactly what we were looking for. Friendly staff everything cleaned down before we sat down.

Called in here on a lovely sunny day.Very busy both inside and outside in the garden.Managed to find an empty table in the shade.Staff very pleasant and welcoming.Good choice on menu and good prices to match!Had enjoyable jacket potatoe with prawns, very genorous portions.Staff attentive, although busy they remained calm!All in all a very pleasant light lunch in welcoming surroundings.

Stopped here for a bite to eat for lunch whilst visiting the new forest. No tables available outside as it was very busy. We sat in a room where the drinks were prepared . Track and trace, tables apart and hand sanitizer were the only covid measures in place. Staff all milling around the drinks area within close contact with no face masks. In the 45 mins we were there i didnt see one member wash or sanitise thier hands. Food was ok, paninis were dry. Kids meal was a good size. We were going to have cake but then i saw the member of staff take a slice of cake out the cabinet with her hands and place on a plate then minutes later was picking at her manicured hand.

Stopped here after a nice long walk..highly recommend the Dorset apple cake, lovely big wedge. Appreciated the incense stick that really did keep the wasps away, will Try that out when we get home

Great food & service and at a very good price too, highly recommend the Lemon drizzle cake, and the scones were very light too

Stopped for afternoon tea on a hot Sunday. Sat outside good distancing and track and trace procedures. Scone and cake were fresh and lovely. Good value worth a visit.

Lovely place to stop in the New Forest. We had cream tea. Great food, friendly service, clean bathrooms. Highly recommended!

Stopped here for lunch and was lucky enough to get a table outside. It was busy and I could see the staff were working really hard but always helpful and pleasant. They had light lunch on the menu or something more substantial which I liked. The food was very nice, I had lasagne with fries and salad and the others had burgers/fries/salad and a ham/cheese panini. I could see people enjoying afternoon tea and as usual for the month of August the wasps were enjoying it too, annoying things they are!! Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

My wife and I came here for lunch while on a bike ride around the New Forest. We read the reviews and thought we would give it a go. There was quite a wait for a table. I think this was due to it being a popular location and also the fact that the restaurant take part in the eat out to help out scheme.My wife and I ordered a tuna and onion panini and a coronation chicken baguette. After a very very long wait we were served with stale crisps on the side of each plate and a salad garnish which consisted of 1 slice of cucumber and a single tomato together with a few lettuce leafs drowned in a very strong tasting dressing. The tuna inside the panini was dry with little or no mayo. The coronation chicken baguette was filled to the point of over flowing but unfortunately it was quite tasteless. Such a shame as it’s in a lovely setting and friendly staff

We met here for lunch and a cream tea. Absolutely lovely place. So pleased we booked a table as they were very busy! Had loads of cups of tea, a coronation chicken baguette and then a cream tea - all the food was incredible. The girls working were all polite, friendly and helpful. So reasonably priced as well. Will definitely return!

I don’t normally write reviews but felt I compelled to from my visit today. My first time visiting Burley, the village had such a lovely feel to it with the Old Farmhouse fitting right in with the atmosphere that Burley held. We were greeted with some very friendly staff who were definitely hard at work with everyone but always presented with a smile. I had lunch with my family (husband and 2 children), we ordered a hot meal, a baguette, ploughman’s and a children’s meal along with 3 smoothies and a soft drink. This came to about the same price as buying coffee and a cake each in a mainstream coffee shop - so we were impressed with the price! Both outdoor and indoor areas were clean and well kept, and the toilets were in reasonable order. It was a bit tricky trying to socially distanced when going to the toilets but most of the customers gave each other space to pass when needed. If you are thinking of heading to Burley, then this little quaint eatery would be great for a spot of lunch, coffee break and of course cream tea. Thank you Old Farmhouse!

Discovered this delightful tea shop whilst out exploring the New Forest on a very hot day. Found a lovely table outside and enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea with cake and iced teas whilst chillling out watching the world go by.

We were out enjoying the Hot sun and the New Forest on our Motorcycles this Sunday, stopping at this quaint restaurant and tea rooms for refreshments. What a breath of fresh air, great food, great, polite and friendly staff and good value. New management keen to receive feedback about service and food on the menu.Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon drink and lovely ploughman’sFrom Simon on the noisy Harley

Called in on our way back to Dorchester after a trip out to Sammy Millers Motor museum this morning, it was fairly busy when we arrived at about 1pm. We managed to get a table for 4 people which had been cleaned prior to us sitting, menus were given quickly while members of our party were sorting out motorcycle gear, staff very attentive gave us time till all were seated and ready to order. Orders placed, drinks arrived very quickly, food not to long after, the baguettes were super fresh and all ingredients were also fresh and tasty, ploughman's was huge, will definitely recommend to others, will definitely be visiting again. Was lovely to chat with the owner who took on board some of the suggestions we offered.

We called into this restaurant for a morning coffee. Sign said "take a seat someone will come and service you" so we did this, a young girl come out to serve someone with their coffee and said to us she would only be 2 minutes. Fifteen minutes later still sitting waiting to be served. So we got up and come out. This is not our first visit so we know what to expect. So will I go again????

Definitely worth a stop off at The Old Farmhouse for breakfast! Excellent value, plenty of outside seating, car parking on site and wonderful service. Burley is also one of the best places to find New Forest ponies so drive carefully!

We called in on the off chance that the tea rooms were open and it was Covid19 has not stopped this place from opening back up. It is Covid friendly for people. The beverages were just what we needed and served by very pleasant staff. We will be back soon.

Excellent service and very tasty food. Very well organised Regarding COVID procedures they even sanitised every table top and edge and the chair seats and arms. Clean toilets. Wonderful, friendly and very helpful welcoming staff even when it got really, really busy. Well done all of you.

We stopped in for a hot chocolate and a pot of tea whilst visiting the New forest.We were abruptly told to sit at a table which we did and someone came and took our order. We gave them our order and waited a while for the staff to bring the drinks over as they were busy chatting about Valentines gifts.The hot chocolate was OK but expensive for what it was but the pot of tea was undrinkable. It tasted like cheap supermarket tea bags. We paid the bill and left.

Popped in for lunch. Lovely prawn sandwich and scone. I’ve had better coffee but I can live with that.

lovely tasty breakfast, bit pricey but fresh and cooked to order! our waitress was spot on! will be back when visiting the area

Visited on a lovely sunny afternoon, it was fairly busy, but service was quick and drinks and cakes were really good. Will visit again.

First time visitor to this lovely, quaint restaurant/cafe. Food was very reasonably priced and the additional benefit of free parking was great to see. Coffee was good. Had jacket potatoes and this was closely followed by a rather scrumptious warm scone with jame and cream. Lovely find and good value.

We always visit here every year when we visit Burley on holiday. Arrived early on holiday so killed a bit of time by going to the farmhouse for a mince pie and a pot of tea. The next morning we returned for our usual cooked breakfast. We always go for breakfast on the morning of going home too as it sets you up for the day. The food is always really great quality and is even better in front of the log fire. My only criticism would be at breakfast, if you order coffee, you only get a one cup which is brought to you as soon as soon as you sit down. By the time your food arrives, I have always drank my coffee and if I order another, I have to pay. A pot or cafetière of coffee would be much better, as it would last longer and it would be lovely if this was included in the price, the same as a pot of tea.

My wife and I visited The Old Farmhouse for lunch we were greeted with a warm welcome. Over the years we have eaten here many times, so today's visit was again delightful, hot food well cooked and presented. We cannot fault this New Forest gem of an establishment, I highly recommend ( cream teas are lovely too )

Our haddock mozzarella fish cakes were really nice, the service was reasonably fast and friendly. If you are lucky you can see through the window wild ponies passing by and freezing the vehicle traffic or wondering around the cars in the car park. I love equine so this was an ideal location to stop and have a lunch. A very affordable choice of food.

We were recommended to come here by a friend, and what we found was outwardly a small tearoom, however it's deceptively massive and labyrinthine is size... I think it was at one point several buildings that have now been joined together.We picked a table right up the back for some peace and quiet, and were going to order a couple of cream teas... then the savoury tea jumped out at us. We decided to opt for one of each, and it was a good choice. both fruit and cheese scones were light, warm and delicious, clearly home made, if not in house from a local bakery.All in all a lovely relaxing time watching the occasional wild horse walk past the window.

Second visit with my elderly parents. Both times we really enjoyed it and found the staff to be very efficient and attentive. Nice traditional menu with something for every taste and also daily specials plus the option to have smaller portions. Car park to the side and additional seating outside.

Super busy place and the staff cope well with the demand. After queuing for a few minutes we were shown to a table. Everything ran smoothly thereafter, the afternoon tea was perfect. Would recommend.

Pretty standard. Roadside cafe in new forest. Stopped because of ludicrous traffic in the main drag. It was ok standard fare and staff seemed friendly and well managed.

Pleasant little cafe for light lunches, sandwiches and very generous servings of cake! Food was good, service friendly and speedy, and our dog was also welcomed inside.

Lovely looking old tea room with parking. Sign at entrance tells you to wait to be seated, which we did, no-one came to seat us and other people just walked in and got a table, & were therefore served, before us. Service was efficient but not friendly. Scone with jam and cream was very nice. Cake was ok, nothing special. Reasonably priced.

Stopped here for a cream tea after a long drive. Had a lovely milk shake made with ice cream, followed by a scone with jam and cream. Scone was nice served with the usual tiny pot of jam, which is a shame. Lovely old building for a nice stop. The staff really do need to smile though and be more more welcoming.

What a charming tea room. Stopped here for coffee and cake while visiting Burley. The Dorset apple cake was lovely served alongside an excellent cappacino. The room had loads of character and service was good. Would highly recommend.

Had a hot choc with whipped cream marsh mallows and a flake. Ploughmans lunch with amazing cheese and a homemade pork pie nothing like shop bought much tastier. I asked for ham too which they kindly provided out of this world. Mums ham salad had new potatoes which were delicious, rolls were warm. Amazing place. Very friendly, well priced. Will return soon.

A great selection of breakfast's including a vegetarian one. Very friendly staff giving a great service at a reasonable price.

Wij hebben hier ontbeten en later nog eens koffie gedronken. Uitstekend café met een gezellig historisch interieur. Het ontbijt en de koffie waren voortreffelijk en de bediening is correct en vriendelijk.

We've been going here whenever we are over this part of the forest for well over 6 years. Great service and food at a very reasonable price.

a bit less popular than the manic pubs, and better service. Nice lunch stop with nice courtyard style outside seating. Good selection of food with prompt service. Very nice

Visited the tea rooms a couple of times when weather nice as take the dog in the garden. Food is lovely and reasonably priced and sitting in the garden is relaxing.

We pulled in here on the way down to the coast and were pleased we did.

visited here recently, with friends, and found the whole experience very comfortable and friendly. Service was a bit slow but there a lot of people in the restaurant. We had coffee and toasted tea cakes. Yummy.

Lovely little tea room with lovely food.

13.20 hours. We were hungry but I didn't feel like preparing lunch. Telephoned The Old Farmhouse to inquire if too late for food. It wasn't. We arrived 20 minutes later and enjoyed an excellent lunch. Two courses, some wine for non-driver and soft drinks for me (driver). Lovely meal, attentive staff in one of our favourite eateries. The Old Farmhouse NEVER disappoints. We took some of their scones home to have with tea later in the evening. They were yummy.....

Staff are very warm and friendly. Good service. Nice cosy rooms and dog friendly.

Came here today for lunch. I had a cream tea which was delicious two warm homemade scones with two types of jam. It’s in a lovely location in Burley and got lots of character. I’ve visited a few times over the last 2 years I recommend :)

Fantastic service extremely welcoming and friendly highly recommended coffee exceptional tea brilliant I had 3 cups from one pot

The cream tea (2 scones with or without dried fruit/gluten free + individual jar of jam + individual tub of Rodda's clotted cream + pot of tea) is over £7... therefore was expecting something more special. Paper tablecloths and a mixture of chairs inside and out created a pleasant setting. The staff were generally very friendly. All of which was "not bad" rather than "fantastic".

Had a lovely lunch here with friends. The menu options were good, the food was also very good. Service was friendly but slow.

We came here on a rainy afternoon in Burley for a spot of lunch and were not disappointed.

Came here with my family having been here once before a couple of years ago. Sat inside as it was a bit nippy outside. After being sat for a good 5 minutes, my partner went up to the counter to find some menus. We all decided what to have and after another 5 minutes of waiting I went up to order only to be told it was table service...! Food was nice but I’d expected homemade scones and clotted cream not out of a Rodda’s pot from a tearoom in the middle of the new forest, (and for one costing £7.50!) but maybe I’m just being fussy. Might try the tearoom up the road next time we are in the New Forest.

I visited this tearoom/Restaurant on Bank Holiday Monday, with my husband and his mother for tea and it was tasty and delicious, as my mother in law and I shared a cream tea, because we only wanted one scone and the coffee or tea was included, us buying another cup of coffee and my husband had a cream tea with a pot of tea to himself. We were sat downside and the weather was a bit breezy, but sunny. I visited the ladies toilets not knowing there was a access Disabled toilet outside in a sort of hot thing and I did ask after using the toilet and it was pointed out to me on our way out of the seating area to the carpark, as I am Visually Impaired and look at these thing when out and about. I did notice a different door for people with Visual Impairment, Mobility and people in Wheelchairs, which had a ramp up to the door and the inside was a bit dark in the bar area, however, the restaurant was brighter with lighting. I would be going again and hopefully trying there meals, but I have read that the kitchen closes at 3pm for hot meals and they probably do teas after that time, because we arrived between 3.15pm and 3.30pm. The staff was not really friendly and I was not aware of this until we left and my husband and mum in law mentioned it, but they will go again.

The Old Farmhouse dealt with 40 retirees with speed and efficiency.

Charming wood clad rooms with very friendly, helpful staff serving wonderful coffee and delicious home made foods. Lovely calm and quiet atmosphere (out of season) with space to sit outside in a secluded courtyard if preferred. Has its own parking or just a short walk from the main car park.

Starting with service; arrived at 2:55, was seated and given menu ... 15 minutes later when eventually a different person offered to take our order we were told kitchen closed for hot food at 3pm - I'm sure it would not have hurt to tell us that when we were seated and perhaps taken our order quickly!

I have been several times to The Old Farmhouse and the food and service is always great. The menu has light bites, meals and snacks. Meals are around £9-£10 and there's daily specials. Free car parking is a bonus. It's a very popular place to visit all year round and it's lovely to sit outside in the Summer.

we stopped here on our way to Lymington for afternoon tea, the food was great lots of cyclists were taking advantage of the outside seating area but there were plenty of tables inside the staff were very helpful and brought your order to the table

We stopped at the farmhouse for breakfast this morning, amazing full English breakfast, cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend. In a great setting.. a must visit if you are going to the New Forest and Burley.
