“Walking Weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Really impressed with the value, great price £59.00 per night and £55 worth of full, complete, large as you like, superb English Breakfast with black pudding to die for. Great staff, understood trhe meaning of "strong tea please". You may laugh, but 5 star operators I have frequented do not get that! Rooms very clean and modern. Furniture not the most espensive, who cares atthat money. The bed needed changing, not the clothes the infrastructure, as it had probably seen to manny over excited residents since last replaced. None-the-less, we had a great two nighs there. Convenient fo the town centre (2 minutes walk) with probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to in 30 years, the Imperial at the top of the road. In addition they do ask cutomers to comment on TripAdvisor, something I know many hoteliers quake in their boots about! However the latter are normally much more expnsive and should worry about their value offering more! Well done PennyFarthing people.

Room Tip: Suggest you request back of the establishmentr as the front is on a main road and keny one of your t...

Thanks for kind words. We will investigate and buy a new bed ! We need that feed back otherwise no telling - we buy good quality properly sprung beds & mattresses but they don't last forever.

Seasons greetings !

“Lovely B+B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We stayed at the Penny Farthing whilst attending a family wedding nearby. Our room was in the converted attic and was very spacious despite the sloping eves. We had a double bed, full size dressing table, built in wardrobe etc and a lovely ensuite bathroom.

A full English breakfast was included, or any part thereof, as well as cereal, fruit and yoghurt.

We paid £78 per night for the room which I think was very reasonable for the acomodations provided.

The hotel is just off the high street of Lyndhurst which has a wide variety of restaurants and pub food to suit all tastes.

Would recommend to all. (However no lift so not suitable if you can't climb stairs)

“Good location for New Forest - decent B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

Only stayed at the hotel for the one night and literally arrived, slept and left. The hotel is located a few minutes walking distance to the main high street. Parking available free of charge. Not in the most tranquil of settings, I have to say my room did rattle when a large vehicle went past. I also found the room a little cold, but they provide additional blankets in the wardrobe. The beds are very hard, pillows not that comfortable, decor of the room OK, very clean. Bathroom a little on the small side but great shower. Overall, not bad for £50 B&B...didn't have the breakfast so can't comment
