Sadly this hotel needs a lot of work to be carried out to bring it up to a reasonable standard. It could be amazing in its location but sadly it isn’t.
Overnight the heating wasn’t on & I can honestly say I have never felt so cold sleeping in a hotel ever, there was a small freestanding heater in the cupboard that could be used in addition to the central heating but this wasn’t safe to use overnight as one of the support feet was missing resulting in the hot heater having to rest on the electric cable & on the carpet, I was able to use this when awake but would not risk using this when trying to sleep as it’s a fire hazard. The heating in the bedroom came on at 7am but it took at least 30minutes for the radiator to get even slightly warm, the radiator in the bathroom only ever managed to get very slightly warm.
The water pressure in the shower was very poor & the light over the shower cubicle wasn’t working so very dim light in the shower from the other lights in the bathroom.
In the bedroom the bedside table had mirror fronted drawers which were badly cracked leaving very sharp edges which is dangerous if using these drawers.
If this isn’t making for enough to put you off booking a stay here the rooms have little or no sound proofing so not only did I wake numerous times as I was so cold but woken by loud snoring coming from other rooms!
The car park is large but is only a gravel/mud surface so be prepared to get muddy shoes & muddy wheels on your luggage.

The hotel suits its rustic, natural setting. It has a laid back and relaxing vibe that we really appreciated.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was large and clean with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom clean and nice toiletries. Evening meal excellent but disappointed with breakfast as no cold meat or cheese for the continental breakfast. Room does need some tlc though, large safe carpark and more than happy to stay here again. Would recommend.

Woodlands Lodge is an old building, therefore "oldness" comes with it but if you're after a comfortable, quiet place to chill out peacefully, this place is wonderful. It's doggy friendly, hey even the comfy seats in the restaurant are reserved for dog owners only, but despite not being dog owners, we had the most wonderful relaxing stay here. It's slap bang in the middle of the New Forest, so walk out the back door & you're literally in it!
Staff were so helpful & friendly, and so was the food (we had both breakfast & dinner one day & both were delicious). Would happily go back here anytime.
