Clean , friendly great location
Lovely large warm room. Comfortable beds. Great shower. Breakfast was lovely
Nothing to dislike
Didn’t stay as it was...
Heating and hot water was not working in the bathroom. Poor furnishings, dirty worn carpets, shocking entrance, damp smelling, run down. Restaurant closed on Saturday night.
Welcoming staff, comfortable room with nice ensuite and good shower. Dedicated off road parking. Good central position for attractions and easy walk into Lyndhurst, with walks accessible to the New Forest. Excellent breakfast. We had dinner the two nights we stayed and highly recommend the curry, all meals were good value for money.
Nothing!
Amazing staff brilliant room lovely food bed 10/10 strongly recommend
Room was a good size and plenty of parking.
Cleanliness in the bathroom (shower plug was blocked and loo not flushing properly) and the breakfast was below average. Door was left unlocked after cleaners serviced the room.

Good location
Tiny box room. Bathroom window not obscured glass so anyone could see in. Dirty door handles and surrounds Dirty light switch surrounds.
Great location, room clean and very nice staff.
The actual cooked breakfast was really nice but there was no cereal ,fruit etc. Rather than actual juice they proved orange squash and weak at that. No atmosphere in the hotel
This is our second visit this year to the Ormonde House Hotel !Again, the room was excellent - very clean and tidy, and well stocked with Tea/Coffee.Breakfast was really good too.The hotel is a fantastic base for exploring the New Forest, and the surrounding areas.
Having to leave !
The reception staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and the facilities in the room were ideal, the SPA bath was a nice touch
Location good but food was bland but all good
Doors slamming at 6 / 7am could do with something to top it slamming and food have bit more taste to it
It was comfortable and cosy. The breakfast and evening meal ordered I advance was served fresh and piping hot. Much better than a buffet. My mobility issues catered for with a room on the ground floor. The staff were very solicitous making sure we had everything we needed.
It is looking careworn. The front door was very battered and the place needed decorating. A dog friendly hotel and most guests seemed to have dogs. Might put people off if they aren’t keen on dogs. However, they didn’t impact our stay.
Great location, just 10 min walk into Lyndhurst. Good sized room, with comfortable bed, I slept really well. Great bathroom with amazing shower. Great little bar and restaurant serving great food, wine and the kathmandu beer is a must! Very clean, no dust anywhere. Room was properly cleaned. Very well stocked tea and coffee tray
Nothing we didn't like really. Would been good if there was a light over the bathroom mirror and another lamp in the bedroom, minor issue, couldn't fault it really
Great location and price. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was good and bed comfy.
In need of an update, paintwork and carpets need renewing. Towel rail didn't work and couldn't get the radiator to work although it wasn't particularly cold.Quilt not very thick. Need to offer continental breakfast as well as cooked.
Friendly, spotlessly clean great value for money super breakfast
Size of room and hotel location to Italian restaurant La Pergola where our grandson was having his 18th birthday.
Overall property is rather tired. Needs updating and decorating.
