Flew from U.S for a family birthday week-end in mid-January. Very warm welcome for 4 couples at Reception. Rooms, beds & bathrooms better than 3 Star. Friendly & professional service from Bar and Restaurant staff at all times - breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea! Great quality food, especially the freshly cooked Full English Breakfast. Perfect location for taking a stroll... More

Stayed for a weekend in January. We had unseasonably warm weather, so had an enjoyable break without the crowds and traffic queues of the summer. The hotel is in an excellent location, 5 mins walk into Lyndhurst, there's a large information office there with info on nearby forest walks. The room was nice - clean, well decorated with a large...

Stayed here with friends over the weekend and had a great time. The food and service were excellent, an dthe facilities and rooms were superb. The hotel is ideally situated for walking into the forest or strolling into town. Will definately recommend this hotel if you are looking to stay in the New Forest. More

The Forest Lodge Hotel in Lyndhurst is the perfect location. It is less than a 5 minute walk to the very small town and it is right opposite a field where there are grazing ponies. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The hotel itself is attractive outside and inside and the room we had was just perfect. It was... More

Lovely hotel, room nice, staff very friendly. Breakfast is served to you (except for cereals, fruit, yogurts etc). If you are very hungry you will have to ask for extra as you don't get a lot. We asked for extras and didn't get charged extra. Did not eat here in the evening was far too expensive, bar area also very... More

Stayed here for a two night short break. Wanted a hotel within walking distance of a town and one with a swimming pool - this hotel met both criteria. Overall the hotel was clean and comfortable - if wanted to get really picky there was some dust on the ensuite floor and tops of light fittings but it certainly wasnt... More

We visited for a weekend break in early December. The hotel is located on the edge of Lyndhurst and is set well back from the road. The location is perfect for exploring the town and getting straight onto the local forest walking routes. It also happens to be very near the Waterloo Arms which is one of the best pubs... More

The Forest Lodge is a real find. Just on the edge of Lyndhurst, you can park your car here for the duration of your stay, and amble into the town centre to eat and drink. However, if you once dine in the hotel's restaurant, you'll probably choose to eat there (as we did) every night. It has gained two AA... More

Lovely hotel. Modern room, nicely furnished and very clean. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great location. Pool a good bonus. We have a 2 year old so had to eat in the bar - nice surroundings but the food was standard fare and not a lot of choice. It's not a cheap hotel but it is very nice and comfortable. More
