"We had an excellent 2 night stay. It helped that our room was at the back of the hotel because Lyndhurst high street is very busy. We ate both nights in the restaurant and had two very good meals. The staff were excellent, particularly Josh and Lucy who were both very friendly and attentive. Would recommend the hotel if you’re looking for somewhere in the centre of the town."
