We stayed at the Arden House for one night as we were attending a friend's wedding in Dibden. John and Patti were extrememly welcoming and were happy for us to check in a little early in order for us to change for the wedding. The double room we stayed in was beautiful and immaculate with a large en suite shower room.
We had a last minute request to bring our 17 month old son. This was not a problem and we were provided with a lovely cot with bedding (not a travel cot as were are often given).
The bed was very comfortable and we all had a peaceful night sleep.
The breakfast was absolutely superb and our son was provided with a high chair and plastic croquery and cuttlery. John and Patti even thought to provide full fat milk fo him.
We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return if we ever need accommodation in the area.

This is the second time that I have been to Arden House and I would still recommend this lovely b and b. It is one of the best that we have ever been to and you are made to feel so welcome.We stayed in a lovely double bedroom this time with pretty furnishings, a really comfortable bed and a superb shower room.
Nothing is too much trouble. John ran off superb pictures of Exbury gardens for us to see before we visited there, which showed the wonderful azaleas and rhodendrons in full bloom. The breakfast, as always,is a feast. We would always choose to stay at Arden House if we visit the New Forest again.
Thankyou Patti and John.

We doesn't hope that many people are reading this site, because to many people will discover these wonderful people and lovely address ;-)
In 2009 we stay with our two friends for the first time in the Arden House. One night was to short, so this year we decided to come together for a longer stay. Played wonderful golf at some courses, having dinner in nice pubs, went to Southampton, Winchester, Lymington, Exbury Gardens, driving true the New Forest, and all within 30 minutes.....
And ofcourse everyday we started with a splendid breakfast!! Next year we do come back, to play more golf ans see the Ilse of Wight!
Kind regards Bob and Karin Berghuys, The Netherlands

We spent two nights (7th & 8th May) at Arden House for a friends wedding in nearby Beaulieu. John & Patti we're very welcoming from arrival to departure. The room was immaculate, the en-suite gorgeously decorated and large. The breakfast was brilliant lots of choice we didn't need to eat again until the wedding meal at 6pm! The conservatory is excellent for resting after a long journey and for admiring the beautiful garden. We thoroughly recommend a stay at Arden House you won't be disappointed.
