Careys Manor & Senspa

It was great. Particularly good having three restaurants. But I can be very picky. All about the breakfast. The coffee wasn't great. The bacon was underdone - it doesn't need to be really crispy but it does need a bit of brown to develop the flavour. The marmalade wasn't that good either. One other thing, which I suspect may be common to all hotels these days. They wouldn't give me a paracetomol when I really needed one. Probably something to do with health and safety. But really?

A new Forest gen

Would highly recommend Carreys Manor, staff go out of their way to help. All 3 restaurants the food was excellent as were the pool and spa. The room faced the garden and was well appointed with modern bathroom and large smart tv and comfortable bed and furnishings. Can’t see why not 5 star.

Lovely place to stay in Beaulieu

Very relaxing place to stay with a beautiful garden. The pool and other amenities are great although it is a bit annoying you can’t use them after checkout. The restaurants are amazing and the staff is very kind and helpful

Had a lovely time at Carey’s Manor with 2 of my girlfriends. A spa hotel easy to get to from London, no car required. The price was good and the spa upgrade is definitely worth it. Breakfast was a very good selection and cooked extras were reasonably priced (boiled eggs for a couple of quid, eggs royale for 8 quid). I simply do not understand some of the other comments about the price not including the extras. Other spa hotels in NF are triple the price of this one. I had a great time and will be back.

Overall a good experience. Customer service very good. Very polite staff. Could be more knowledgeable about the new forest area. Hotel itself very nice but could do with a refurbishment. Room was good but again could do with updating. Bedsheets very nice. Slippers provided are the worst slippers I have ever used at a hotel so definitely needs updating. Literally unusable. Service needs to improve in regard to reception. Very long phone wait times to reception. Staff always absent from reception and need to wait. Checking out there was a queue of about 20 people and 1 receptionist. Spa cant comment as didn’t use. Breakfast not very good. Well the buffet wasn’t. Other than the bakery items everything else was definitely lacking. There were not many options. If you wanted actual food had to order separately for even more money. Overall good but could be better especially when you are paying over £250 a night.

Hotel and Spa staff are excellent. Location in the New Forest is ideal and I regularly recommend Brockenhurst as a good location to base oneself. The hotel is OK but slightly disappointing given it's price point and premium positioning. Room are tired and slightly under equipped, the spa area is a little dated with free access only including the basic pool and steam room/sauna and the breakfast, although offering a good range of options, became rapidly depleted. We had a basic room for ~£225 and for this money, I'd expect a little more.

Amazing hotel and spa and have been a number of times. Stayed for two nights and had an amazing spa day with two treatments. Decided to upgrade to a superior garden twin room which was adequate but if I was being extra picky there are a couple of observations that would have improved the room itself. There was no safe or full length mirror and the wardrobe and draw space were tiny also there was nowhere to sit in front of a mirror to apply makeup and dry our hair. I want to emphasise non of this affected our stay and is purely feedback based on the quality of the hotel and the cost of upgrading our room and we will definitely be back. We came to the conclusion that the room was not specifically designed for those of us that need constant reassurance that we leave the room looking our best and our skirts are not tucked in our underwear.

All good. Swimming pool and associated facilities such as jacuzzi, sauna, steam room too small if lots of guests are using the pool as was the case on Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning at 0800 was empty so we managed to enjoy the facilities then but Saturday afternoon was literally packed and not a great experience.
