The bunk bed room was perfect for our two younger kids. However, the lack of air conditioning made it difficult to sleep during our stay due to the heat. Once the weather cooled down at night, the large fan helped a lot. Parking was tight, and there are four EV chargers outside, although they are quite expensive at £0.98 per kWh. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

We had a nice stay at Balmer Lawn. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has a country retreat feel to it and isn't too large, giving a lovely independent feel to it. The breakfast was very good. Although the hotel could do nothing about the hot weather, the lack of air conditioning in our room was an unfortunate negative making for an uncomfortable night's sleep (even with the fan provided). The staff had already provided a fan in the room and opened all the windows for us but with a westerly facing room, the afternoon/evening sun was making our room very hot. Overall a nice stay, just a shame that a four star hotel had no air conditioning in the bedrooms.

I stayed here for one night with my daughter after a trip to Peppa Pig World, and I’m so glad I chose this hotel. It was absolutely wonderful. The staff were lovely, and there was so much to do. We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor pools, played ping-pong, explored the grounds, and even went on the zip line. The most magical part was seeing the wild horses just a short walk away. Being right in the heart of the New Forest made it feel really special. My daughter also loved the piano man and danced her little heart away. To make our stay even more special, the hotel surprised her with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch and made her day. It was truly an amazing experience, and we can’t wait to come back.

We had an excellent stay. Breakfast was really fresh and had plenty of choice. The indoor pool was a little cool for my liking but the pool area and spa were fantastic. Didn’t go in the outdoor pool but the grounds around it were lovely and well looked after. Staff were amazing, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was slightly dated with a few cracked tiles in the bathroom and wear and tear to the bath and sink. We had lunch and dinner and couldn’t fault the food it was so tasty and the chips were the best I’ve had in a long while. Can’t wait to go back!
