"Despite a few negatives, a great stay for 1 night."

7.0

The hotel was close to the town centre and clean and comfortable. Rooms were airy and fresh looking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good value for money with breakfast included.

Whilst in a good location for the town, it is on a busy road, so traffic noise in front rooms could be a problem for some. Some furniture and the bathroom was dated. TV especially so.

"Very good!"

9.0

Everything was very clean and tidy throughout the hotel.. very nice breakfasts too ! Definitely a nice hotel to stay !

We stayed in Thomahawk and the only thing we didn't like is the shower. As it should have been fitted with a thermostat shower ! And a handrail for safety.

"Desperately want to say Wow! , but not with uncomfortable beds & sofas. My back aches."

7.0

Spacious; impeccably clean; staff were exceptional; location was perfect. All of these topics I would say were excellent.

One of the most crucial aspects of any accommodation is the comfort of the beds. You had a choice of 3 different beds in 3 different bedrooms. None of them were comfortable; some worse than others. They were all very bouncy and tended to sag. One double bed would sag down through the bed frame & we could get it to stay on top of the frame. This can happen with metal frames with box spring mattresses that no longer hold their shape or support. The sofas: both me & my wife would sink right down to the frame - no matter where we sat (there were two sofas - 2-seater & 3-seater). And neither of us are overweight. I am 6'2" and had to unfold myself to get up. Not ideal. Also, we found ourselves having to flush the toilet at least 3 times, sometimes 4, before the the toilet bowl was clear. It might be a problem specific to Penny Farthing, or it might be an issue for all hotels due to environmental issues in the New Forest along preservation constraints. The reception staff didn't have an answer when we checked out. Would we go again? We desperately want to say yes because of what was great about Penny Farthing, but is comfort worth sacrificing, especially at these prices for a 3-bedroom cottage, in favour of the positive aspects of the stay. Probably not, but a few fixes of discomfort and probably yes.
