The Balmer Lawn, with its outdoor pool, offers convenient access to Brockenhurst and the New Forest. Guests commonly appreciate the tasty food, especially the pizza with fresh ingredients, and the excellent breakfast featuring a full English and croissants. While most found their rooms comfortable and spacious, some guests have noted a lack of easily accessible power points.

a sweet escape to remember

spacious roomexcellent locationtop serviceunlikable food
my stay began with a very spacious, nicely decorated room. the hotel itself was pleasant, and its location proved to be quite excellent. the staff's service was great, they were friendly and professional. it seemed like a perfect, relaxing break, i enjoyed it.
the food generally did not meet my liking. i found this disappointing, as i had hoped for a culinary experience matching the hotel's ambiance. i hope they will consider improvements to their menu.

The hotel has an inviting outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a lounge area. This offers several shaded spots ! there are gardens too, with a rope slide for younger visitors. This makes the hotel versatile.

we needed a recharge. the four-poster bed in our room was lovely, and the spa was just amazing. i had fabulous massages and a great facial. the restaurant food was fantastic and the service was pleasant.
The entrance was quite dirty and somewhat tired, which wasn't the best first impression. it would benefit from some freshening up.

A stay with some issues

missing socketstraffic noise
My room lacked some essentials. I missed bedside lights and electrical sockets near the bed. Finding a place for my luggage was also a problem and I don't see a full-length mirror. The front-facing room allowed traffic noise all night and I think a quiet room was better. I really would not return.
