The inn is in the centre of Lymington and is ideally situated for travel into the new forest. The food is decent and priced accordingly, the wine list is okay as is the service. The rooms are all named after people from lymington who went on to bigger and better things. There are four poster beds, a room that has a jacuzzi bath, however the decor is a little tired. Be warned that there is a market every Saturday morning, early start. Do not park your car on the High St. Friday night, it will get towed! Overall it is a good place to stay with decent food, a great breakfast and lots of character. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention, it is also one of the most haunted buildings in the UK. Sweet dreams.

Nice little watering hole right in the centre of Lymington. About half way up the high street. The…read morefood was of a good standard and the service was good. We had a look round Lymington one Sunday afternoon looking for something to eat. Unfortunately there did not seem to be much choice late on a Sunday afternoon. It was either the local chippie or The Angel Inn; although we all agreed we were glad we chose the Angel Inn.

I have just celebrated my birthday with a wonderful stay at the Montagu Arms, and what a fantastic…read morestay it was - happy birthday me!! We chose the Montagu Arms because of it's location in the quaint village of Beaulieu, and because it was home to the Michelin star restaurant, The Terrace (review to follow shortly). The building itself dates from the 17th Century and the gardens that surround it are stunning, even on a grey, rainy March afternoon. As soon as we arrived, we were made to feel extremely welcome. The hotel had upgraded us to their suit!! I didn't realise until later that they must have noticed my date of birth on the booking form and did this as a special treat for my birthday, it really was the most lovely surprise. Our luggage was taken up and we were shown around our room, or should I say rooms...! Delightful bedroom with a four poster bed, and dual aspect windows with views over the gardens, a separate living room, and two bathrooms!! I have never stayed in such a big area. The rooms are a little dated in their decor but this just adds to the charm as far as I am concerned. The bar, lounge and dining room are also exquisite and a delight to spend time in, an all the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a feast with a selection of cooked dishes available, in addition to homemade granola, fruit, pastries, breads and cheeses. I went for the smoked salmon and scrambled egg, on top of all the other treats available, and couldn't eat for the rest of the day! On check out, we were presented with a little paper bag with water and apples for our onward journey. It's simple touches like this that make a stay memorable and ensure repeat customers, although we may need to save the pennies as its not the cheapest option obviously!

The staff is welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the start and after any visits, I feel like a regular. The garden is beautiful. The restaurant is wonderful. Monty's Pub is a favorite. The only downside...occasionally a wild pony or donkey may block the driveway. And I love it!!!

We parked the car in the hotel car park - ask the reception to open the barrier for you. Great room with a view of the sea and good bar with half price cocktails from 5 til 7. We had dinner in the restaurant which was really good and the staff were great. Breakfast was also good and again the service was excellent. This was the first hotel in Bournemouth opened in 1812 and is still providing a comfortable and welcoming experience. Definitely recommend.

The breakfast was just about the best we've ever had from any hotel full English if you wanted (though I woiuld like to have seen a vegetarian option) or continental and the most fantastic selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurts, juices and even nuts. Rooms were clean and we also had access to a jacuzzi an a gym. We had a very pleasant stay here and if we come back to Bournemouth we'll stay here again.

With only 20 rooms it is a small hotel and the rooms are of a good standard - not excellent for the price but they are comfortable. The winning reason to stay at this hotel though is definitely the food. Located in Whitley Ridge Hotel is Le Poussin, the michelin starred restaurant. The food is unbelievable and not of a bad price. Intimate dining at its best. The bar is also cosy and drinks are expensive but this isn't unusual for the New Forest. Definitely worth a visit.

Let me start by saying that this is actually a nice and well kept hotel in a very convenient…read morelocation in the beautiful Medieval town of Salisbury. Unfortunately, we had the worst night's sleep of our week long trip. I booked The Legacy Rose and Crown several months in advance of our trip, and when we checked in, we were told there was a party taking place that night. When we returned to our hotel after dinner and went up to our room, it seemed that we were located directly above the restaurant where the party was being held. Although the music was right in line with my tastes, we were really hoping for a good night's sleep since we had to be on the road at 7AM, but sleep wasn't to be had since the music continued until midnight. I pulled my ear plugs out of my bag and turned on a noise machine, but even that wasn't enough to block out the pounding bass. Honestly, the hotel should not have even rented room we were in on that date considering the noise below. If we had stayed at this hotel on a different night, I think our experience would have been much better - it's clean, pretty, and convenient to the cathedral and other sites. The staff was very friendly and gave us bagged lunches since we were checking out before breakfast. I wish I could leave a better review, but since the primary purpose of a hotel is to provide sleeping accommodations and we weren't able to get much sleep, two stars it is.

The room was nicely furnished, with tea/coffee making facilities and biscuits. All rooms are named, and the one I stayed in was the Avon room, which looks out across open fields and you can see the Old Sarum earthworks nearby. Lovely view, and such a homely feel. Lovely large cooked full English breakfast with local eggs and condiments made from ingredients grown in the garden. The raspberry jam was so delicious, that I had to get the last jar (for £2) home with me. An absolute delight, and I definitely recommend!!!

Nothing amazing though in reference to other hotels I have stayed at on this trip. Note: the floors here as it is an old building do squeak a lot, while walking across your floor. We were attempting a late checkout as we did not have to be at our event until later. I attempted to negotiate a late checkout only to be told it is their policy that after Noon they will charge you 10GBP per hour after. No negotiating. I understand policy, but with foreign travellers,they should try. The hotel we were at last city, was very accommodating giving us a 3 pm checkout at no charge. And a much nicer hotel at that. It seems some of the staff are a bit uptight and non accommodating.

We have returned here many times, and each time we have been impressed by the standard of service and the quality of the facilities. However, the food in the hotel's restaurant has unfortunately been a bit hit and miss. Breakfast here is wonderful with a superb choice of dishes and excellent service (the variety of juices on offer is in itself impressive), but we've been less impressed with dinner on a couple of occasions - the execution doesn't quite live up to the expectation set by reading the menu. Don't let this put you off though - there are generally good deals to be had here for room, breakfast and dinner packages, and lots to do in the surrounding area.
