I enjoyed a very pleasant night here. The house is very well maintained, and my room was spotlessly clean and warm. Good location just a few minutes walk from Lyndhurst high street, restos and pubs. Ernesto and Etsuko were extremely welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay here again. Oh, yes, and the breakfast was freshly cooked to order and delicious! More

Over the long period nothing was a problem for... More

We have just returned from Lyndhurst where my two sisters wanted to spend their birthdays as they are one day apart. The rooms were excellent and the owners went out of their way to give us everything we could possibly want - including a birthday present for my sister whose birthday it was that day - that certainly is going...
