“In my opinion, this property has potential, particularly given its location within the New Forest. I see that the hotel's restaurant focuses on local cuisine, including vegan options. While some rooms might need updating, its setting offers both proximity to attractions like Bournemouth and access to quieter, more scenic walks.”
