Best Western The Crown Hotel - Lyndhurst, United Kingdom     

We stayed here for just the one night in July, as we are going to a wedding in the New Forest. Lovely hotel! Checked in easily, lady on reception very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable - what I expected of a country type hotel, although the bathroom could do with updating. One thing though, was that literally everything in the room creaked! Walking on the floor made such a racket, that I worried about the people beneth us.....although we were woken at 6.45am, by the person above walking around, until we went to breakfast at 9.30am....the light fitting was litereally shaking! And also, our room was above the lounge, so we could hear people talking/laughing until 1.30am. Breakfast was buffet. You could have cooked, or there was cereal. Was very tasty! All in all, a pleasant stay, apart from being woken at an untimely hour of the morning!

My husband originally booked to stay in Bournemouth but on arrival we had so many problems that we left! We drove along the coast road which showed many B & Bs with no vacancies. Almost giving up hope and deciding to go back home we drove through Lyndhurst and saw the sign which said there were rooms available. The receptionist was really kind and helpful and our room was lovely. It was on the first floor overlooking the garden. The car park could be seen beyond this but there have been trees planted to make this view better. Despite the hotel being on a very busy road we could hear no noise at all. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were large and all amenities were available to us. In the evening we chose to stay in the hotel for dinner. There was 25% discount on the food if you chose to do this and I have to say that the meal we had was outstanding. The staff were attentive and helpful and we had a wonderful dinner of three courses. Even without the discounted amount, this would still have been very good value. Breakfast was slightly chaotic as we had chosen the busiest time to go but there was nothing too much trouble again for the staff. It was a nice place to be even though we were only around 5 miles from home!!!
