Amazing staff .. second to none service … very dog friendly

Reviewed By suesK3009XC

11 out of 10 We had a few days staying here over the jubilee weekend and we were amazed. Friendly staff to us and our doggy. We have been to other places that state dog friendly .. what they mean is dog tolerant … BUT HERE at Forest park they treat your dogs as guests. From the bowls towels and bed in the rooms with biscuits to the Inn side of the restaurant. The waiters & waitresses all made a fuss and we didn’t feel uncomfortable and just wanting to eat as quickly as poss. The rooms are lovely and the food is brilliant!! The Inn is in the perfect place so you can walk straight out on to the moor land. There is a lovely garden and the service where ever you are is outstanding !! We will be back

Wedding Guest.

The hotel was booked for a wedding party of 30 or so. We stayed 2 nights and felt really looked after. The decor is quirky and fun but most importantly nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We felt thoroughly looked after.

Afternoon tea

Reviewed By cen29

We booked afternoon tea for 4 of us. However having just been diagnosed as a diabetic I asked if I could have a savory tea or some sort of fruit instead of the cakes. I was told this was not possible and the only menu available was on the website. We phoned again because we didn’t believe that a hotel could not provide a piece of fruit or something savory instead of cakes and we were advised again that they could not deviate from the menu. How disgusting is that; a hotel penalizes me for a medical condition. We cancelled and went somewhere more obliging. Do not go to the Grand if you are a diabetic. Also you are limited to 1.75 hours. Tea at the Grand has obviously become a conveyor belt tea with no choice and timed. What a shame I used to love it there but they have lost the custom of the 4 of us ladies.

No (real) complaints at all

Reviewed By Beebee1964

Very nice room, teenage child enjoyed being in the "loft" room, friendly service, the onsite pizzas were very nice. Being able to check out at 2 made a huge difference for me, especially as I overslept (bed very comfortable) and it meant I didn't have to rush around. My negative observations are minor - wi fi a bit slow and it disconnected once or twice, Could have done with a frying pan, kitchen tongs, more loo paper, more than one dishwasher tablet more than one ordinary tea bag.

Definitely NOT a 5* hotel

Reviewed By Cornishdish

We were really looking forward to staying for 3 nights at this hotel. Unfortunately for many reasons the hotel is not worthy of a 5* We have stayed at many 5* hotels including the Ritz and the Langham in London and we expected to be greeted by a doorman at the front of the hotel, had our suitcases taken from the car to our room and the car valet parked. The website does not show the front entrance to the hotel and we had to ask someone where to go. Our Marina View suite with a large balcony was very comfortable and we were very pleased with it. The food offered in the restaurants was okay but not 5* and surprisingly there were no tablecloths, heavy badly designed utility crockery (the teaspoon wouldn't stay on the saucer) and cheap cutlery. Service in the restaurant was friendly but the staff were not trained very well, if one person had finished their meal the plate was taken before the other had finished eating. Unused cups and saucers at breakfast were collected up by placing fingers inside them and returning them to a cupboard likewise glasses. The pool was much smaller than it looked on the website and was very cold, the ladies changing room had towels placed on the floor by staff to mop up water from the showers. I told the spa receptionist the pool was too cold and after checking the temperature she agreed to contact maintenance but unfortunately it wasn't any warmer the next day.

Excellent stay for wedding reception

Reviewed By melosqueak

Had a great one night stay at The Runnymede on Thames, as part of wedding party/reception. Staff were courteous and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and well appointed. Enjoyed the Borders biscuits! My only peeve was that room doors/walls not sound-proof (not an issue for us, although we did wake up one guest whilst chatting in the corridor, apologies!).

Fantastic service, fantastic location, fantastic staff, fantastic food and I loved the old lift. It's just one of favourite places to stay. So close for a walk in the New Forest (and the ponies!), close enough to drive to the water sports and Bealieu Motor Museum.
