We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch yesterday- delicious Pheasant pie with fresh vegetables. Good menu including choice of vegetarian. Staff smiling and prompt service as always. Would thoroughly recommend this gem of a country pub.

I have stayed here a couple of times whilst in a training course. The bar staff are very friendly and well trained. Even remembered me from my previous visit. The evening meal was excellent (unfortunately not enough room left for pudding 😉). The room was warm, cozy and spotless. The breakfast was very well cooked and all ingredients were excellent. I hope to stay again in the future. .

Pub with character and a lovely Mother’s Day lunch! We stayed in the van having asked when we booked lunch. Lovely pub garden and easy access across the Heath to Hatchet Pond which the dogs loved (and they didn’t catch any leaches!)

We have eaten here before and the food has always been amazing. This time we decided to stay. The accommodation is just as good as the food. We stayed in the squirrel, which was lovely and cosy plus it accommodated everything we needed. The only issue we had was no hot water, but Simon very quickly came sorted the problem. I would say some minor tlc needed in the bathroom but otherwise we could not fault our room. Dinner and breakfast again were very tasteful and full of flavour. Simon and Diane are really attentive as well as the bar and kitchen staff being polite and helpful. Thank you all for making us feel welcome and for giving us such a pleasant experience. We will definitely be back. What a lovely countryside pub you have and the location is simply beautiful. Credit to all of you :)

Great place to stay. All of the staff were very friendly. When we checked in, they gave us a heads up that it was trivia night and would get very busy later in the night so suggested we grabbed an early dinner. The staff and other customers invited us to join in the trivia night but after a couple of drinks by the warm fire, we opted for an early night instead. Also enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the morning. Simon gave us some information on a local church with some war graves which was an unexpected surprise to see on our trip. Would recommend this place and will stay there again next time we are in the UK.

After playing laser tag for a colleagues leaving do, 17 of us spontaneously decided to try our luck at this pub for lunch today. Not only was the (assumed) manager very polite, he managed to seat us all together in the marquee, and not only was our food served in record time - it was delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area

Turfcutter's advertises a dog friendly stay and it certainly is. Our room was warm and comfortable with a small kitchen, a bathroom, tv etc. The floors were tiled so no worries about the dog. There is a small enclosed area in front of the accommodation where the dog can go or, in summer, you could sit out with a bbq and a beer. Excellent breakfast. None to beat it. Dinner the evening before, equally good. The atmosphere of this old public house, nestling in the New Forest, is warm and inviting and the staff could not have been more helpful friendly. We will certainly be back!

Whilst holidaying in the New Forest, we (family of 4) wanted somewhere for dinner that had character and wasn't the usual chain of same old food, boy did we find it! Going from other reviews led us to the Turfcutters Arms, and I'm so glad it did. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the pub was charming and the food was amazing! All of our meals were completely polished off whilst enjoying the views out of the window at the passing pony's. The play area in the garden was utilised by our kids to burn off some energy, which they loved. We would happily return, and next time, I'm getting the pie!

A great spot to overnight In a camper. The staff were more than happy to help, when we turned up the camper spaces were occupied with normal cars, and even with a packed pub the manager didn't hesitate to ask around and get a space freed up for us. The pub caters for coeliacs and is very accommodating with the facilities even out of hours. Wouldn't hesitate to return

It was Sunday evening and we went to this old local pub to have dinner, there were plenty of cars outside and a busy beer garden We entered inside and there were lots of tables reserved but we found one free where we could sit and have supper . The service was quick and good. The food took more than 20 minutes to come but the pub was very busy. The plates were simple, nothing special and the same menu as in all the other pubs but the atmosphere was nice and the building very special. We ordered a brownie with ice-cream, it came very quickly and it was tasty but everything was a bit overpriced for what it is. We paid £42.00 for two mains, one drink and one dessert to share. Apart from this, it is a very relaxing place and recommended as it is situated in a very nice village in the new forest and it has different environments inside and outside and is very beautiful. The staff was very nice I have to say, nothing special just doing their jobs.

One of a dwindling number of proper pubs with locals just having a beer at the bar. Very friendly staff and the lasses serving both at lunchtime and in the evening were polite, patient, helpful and friendly. The food was very good quality and good portions too. The location is nice and you can walk straight onto the forest. More than doggie friendly and campers are also allowed to stay overnight if there is space (the car park is quite small so don't arrive late). The beer was OK but both beers I tried were a bit heavy for my taste, a light summer ale would be a good idea. Looked like a nice garden area but we stayed inside.

We were in need of a quick simple dinner for a family with a small child, and they did well for us. Good home cooking that came quickly with a decent play area in the back and wasn't too expensive. Excellent service too. If you're looking for an amazing culinary experience you'll probably be disappointed though. The bar was good, some local ales on tap always helps. We didn't stay so we can't comment on the quality of the rooms.

It had great outdoor space although it said no smoking under the marquee but people were smoking which was handy as it was a bit chilly if you had to sit completely in the outside space. A little expensive but just an observation.

Been here twice now and this place is lovely! Food is great, very cosy pub set in stunning surroundings. They offer a stay over service for camper vans should you wish to putchase a meal, you can park out back and use the toilets during your stay. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The specials board is great but i chose a burger which was cooked beautifully. I can't rate the rooms as we didn't stay in them but from what I've heard, they're also very comfortable.

We came for lunch around 12 pm on a Tuesday thinking it be nice and quiet, on the contrary, it became pretty much fully booked out with diners. The service was swift for us and the staff with professional and friendly. We ordered a sausage sandwich, french onion soup with bowl of chips. The portion size was very generous using quality ingredients. So we understood why it was such a popular place.

Stopped by here for lunch today as the food smelled fantastic, sadly they refused to serve us as they didn't have a big enough table available (four people) and advised us to wait outside in the very freezing weather until a table became available...not exactly welcoming. We also had a 1 year old with us so waiting outside wasn't really an option. Also no accessible toilets and no baby changing facilities.

Lovely pub out in the southern forest, we enjoyed a lovely meal with venison and gammon steaks. The owner came out to see us and tell us a bit about the venison's provenance and have a general chit chat - look out for the poacher's gun he found when renovating the property years ago! Good beers and friendly clientele made for a welcome retreat from a (very) wet day outside.

Absolutely fantastic meal, booked ahead as we knew it would be busy due to the great reputation this classic old pub has. A lovely table had been set up in the sunny courtyard, which we sat at after ordering 2 thirst quenching pints of Inches cider (did have a laugh with the bar staff🧐). From the specials board, we shared the garlic Crevettes (didn’t want to be shellfish🤣),…fantastic served with bread to mop up the sumptuous buttery goodness. Having seen the schnitzel go past earlier, my better half decided on that with myself choosing the cod loin from the special board. Both were amazing in all aspects, with special detail taken enabling the seasonal flavours to flourish throughout. Special mention for the black garlic aioli served with the cod 🤤 Absolutely stuffed we had a DJ Steve (private joke:didestive ) of Calvados with the merry landlord, who like myself and girlfriend are allies of the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈. I would highly recommend a visit this beautiful pub in the New Forest coastline.
