"We had a wonderful stay at Stanwell House Hotel. The staff are excellent, every member of the team was incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed in Room 32, which was perfectly cosy with a very comfortable bed and offered lovely views. The breakfast was great—high quality and plenty of choice. My only minor note is that drinks can be quite expensive at the bar. Highly recommended for a boutique stay in Lymington!"

"Property is in very old and damaged condition, you can hear the floor squeaks from everywhere, bar menu very poor, dinner even poorer, breakfast very dried and not fresh. My room wasn’t cleaned at all the, not even the bin emptied or fresh towels. Cleanliness wasn’t good.
Everything inside and outside is old and rusty, besides the location this hotel has nothing good. Staff in the leisure centre bit rude"
"The property overall is in very poor condition. A lack of cleanliness is clear throughout the property.
My room was very average, mould was found at the bottom of the shower tray and stains on the walls."
"Overall nice stay and great staff. But looks wise Property is bit dated and get back to you in 90s. Rooms were clean but pillows were as solid as rocks. Bathroom was bit congested.My daughter enjoyed the swimming pool .they alloted parking next to your window. I was there for one night."
"Rooms was spot on cleaning.
Bar staff and restaurant helpful and guide as needed it .
Spa staff was great welcome and explained proper all the facilities as been used .
Breakfast welcome staff ready to accommodate you . As food buffet the scrambled eggs was overcooked and big suggestion for the future chef need to use probe and not his hand to see if the food is hot big FOUL AS GUEST SEEING THAT .
Small improvements can make the hotel nice destination.
Receptionists was really great but will require type of bell sometimes took long to show up . Not a complaint, I understand maybe they have another responsibilities."
"A gen of a stay! We had the "Crab Apple" room, at the rear of the building, on first floor over top of the kitchen (?). Very quiet apart from the rattling bath exhaust fans of the room. Apparently those can be switched off, but we never found the switch. No other sounds st all in the room. Comfy bed, good cooked breakfast, and great staff. We also enjoyed an excellent evening meal in the very good on-site restaurant. Easy walk to the nearby art gallery and to the beaches."
"Very quick and easy check in.
Staff very friendly.
Large and clean room
Air con not working and room extremely hot and uncomfortable. Reported this as error code on unit and was provided with a pub in fan, unfortunately not helpful, therefore uncomfortable night"
"Terrible experience — the standard of the sofa bed mattress was completely unacceptable. The springs could clearly be felt through the mattress and it did not adequately support the weight of a 7-year-old child. In addition, the air conditioning unit made continuous noise throughout the night, even when switched off. As a result, none of us were able to get any sleep.
Shortly after check-in, we tried to raise our concerns about the sofa bed with reception in person, only to find that no one was available. After returning later that evening, we spoke with the night receptionist, but unfortunately they were unable to offer an alternative room or any practical solution.
To make matters worse, when we checked out, no resolution, apology, or compensation was offered for what was a very poor and disappointing experience.
Overall, this stay fell well below an acceptable standard."
"A perfectly placed hotel for exploring Bournemouth beaches. The restaurant was nice not huge selection but nice and freshly cooked. Breakfast was a good mix. Staff were fantastic. Especially Holly at front desk- she was so friendly and kind. Gave us tips to get to the best part of a beach nearby saving us loads of time and stress. Helped us get extra pillows for the room. The superior room was really lovely , clean and air conditioned was perfect for heat wave ! Will def stay here again when we return to Bournemouth"
