Forest Park Country Hotel Rhinefield Road, Brockenhurst SO42 7ZG

"An impromptu stay at this local hotel. We were allocated a well-furnished decent-sized room at the front of the hotel overlooking the forest. The bed was extremely comfortable and gave us a perfect night’s sleep. The room and bathroom were immaculate and well-appointed. Although our lovely room faced the road, it was not noisy at all, in fact there was no noticeable traffic noise during sleeping hours, even with the window open. The Forest Park is exceptional in terms of customer service from reception staff, waiting staff and bar staff (especially Giacomo and Dominik) who are always eager to help and provide a warm friendly welcome. The food is first-class, professionally prepared, delicious and exceptional value for money. The room rates are competitive for the area and every time I stay here, I cannot justify giving it any less than a five-star rating."

"I stayed with a friend for two nights over new year. Our rooms were lovely, very clean with nice toiletries and we both slept well in comfortable beds. The New Year’s Eve dinner was delicious with a great band. Breakfast was great- fully served with local produce and dinner on our second evening was also excellent. What makes this hotel special is the staff. They go out of their way to welcome you and look after you. A lovely hotel that I look forward to going back to. Thank you for a wonderful new year!"

"Beautiful hotel, food amazing, staff lovely. 2 night Christmas break, beyond our expectations. Room was lovely, nice surprise that our 11 year old had his own room, decor amazing and spotlessly clean. ( only thing, some Christmas decorations in the room would have been nice, but no issue). The food was out of this world, big portions of the most amazing food...had the cod first night ( not cod and chips, proper cod) and the duck curry second night. Can honestly say, best food we've ever tasted. Ordered a side of chips, as worried portions may be small, didn't touch the chips! Lovely location, everything accessible locally, can't wait to come back!"

"We enjoyed a 2 night stay at this lovely hotel in a perfect position by the forest watching the cows and horses from our room walking along the road and into the forest. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast both mornings. The gardens were gorgeous for an early evening drink. We didn't have an evening meal but enjoyed coming back to the bar for a delicious floater coffee before bed! Highly recommend this hotel."

"An excellent one-night stopover, for a family get-together. Our Deluxe Double room overlooked the rear garden and was cool enough even in the middle of the heatwave. It was well furnished and good value. We had a great meal in the restaurant celebrating my birthday - although food a little slow, staff were attentive and spot-on with their comments and humour. The small English Breakfast was ideally sized - all the right ingredients without feeling too full. Kim's breakfast service was sublime. The stand-out feature of this hotel are the staff who are attentive, responsive and engaging. All well selected for the right attitude and very well trained - not easy in these post-brexit times."
