The best restaurants serving Default food in Boldre and Sway New Forest South East

My friends and I visited on a Sunday afternoon from out of town at a local’s recommendation. I loved the atmosphere - lots of plants, lots of seating. There weren’t many customers, so it wasn’t loud. We were hoping for afternoon tea, but sadly it is not available on Sundays. Some of us got the Sunday Roasts instead. More in our party (of 10) would have liked to try the Sunday Roast, but they only sold it to some of us due to limited staff & presumably limited ingredients. The rest ordered sandwiches. I’m sorry to say I was not impressed with the starter or main course (the meat, potatoes and vegetables were a bit dry), but I did enjoy the crème brûlée for dessert. Afterward, we visited a gin distillery around the corner. They allowed us samples, and I was impressed with the flavor and smoothness.

Had a wonderful time at the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Full of history and in a beautiful setting. Everything was so clean and there is a beautiful spa and swimming pool. Had an Indian Head Massage by Amy which was the best one I have ever had. Worth going back just for that. Lovely lady and will be booking in with her next time we go back.

Great spot for a coffee and snack, really enjoyed a decaf and granola slice — such an improvement on the prior Costa offerings.

We ordered lunch here and I got an all day breakfast wrap, the wrap was not cooked properly and then my son wanted ketchup but we had to play 20p for 2 of them! Definitely not coming here again. Also a frappe medium was £3.20.
