Lovely food, great staff team but under renovation
The weekend was all about the spa, and when we arrived the spa was having refurbish so there was noisy drilling going on and treatments had to be moved to a bedroom in some circumstances. The spa is really tired and the toilets and showers weren't working. All of this was communicated by signage at the venue but nothing was mentioned on booking. I rang up to ask about spa use and it wasn't mentioned then either. As I was booking specifically for a relaxing spa weekend, I would have chosen somewhere else had I know they had renovation work ongoing until April. The food was lovely and the staff were great. The superior room was nice, but superior isn't nescafe sachets and uht milk unfortunately.

Disappointing Stay – Not Truly Family-Friendly
I recently stayed at Balmer Lawn Hotel, expecting a relaxing and family-friendly experience, but unfortunately, it fell short. The bedroom and bathroom felt quite tired and in need of an update—not what I’d expect from a four-star hotel. Despite being advertised as a family-friendly hotel, the pool was closed to children for most of the day. It seems they are trying to cater to both families and adults seeking a spa retreat, but in reality, they can’t have it both ways without disappointing one group. Another frustrating aspect was the extra charge for coffee at breakfast—£4 per cup! I’ve never encountered that at any other hotel, and for the price of the stay, it felt excessive. The hotel keeps mentioning plans to upgrade the spa and pool, but I paid for the experience as it is now, not for what it might be in the future. Given the cost of our stay, I expected much better. Having said that, the location was perfect and staff were friendly. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it. It’s overpriced, poorly balanced between being a family hotel and a spa retreat, and simply not worth the money.

Average stay
Our stay was ok but for a four star hotel and for the price we paid we found the room small and it was quite run down. The food and drinks outside were lovely, it made a really enjoyable afternoon. The service was quite slow but that wasn’t a big deal.
Stephanie, 2-night trip

Beautiful pet-friendly hotel
The hotel is beautiful and it has great access to beautiful walks into the New Forest. Good was delicious. The facilities are great and staff tremendously friendly. We brought our dog and it was a great weekend getaway. Only downside was that our room was too hot, even if we didn’t have the heating on and had the windows open… the weather outside was actually cold-ish (7 degrees during the night) and still inside was very warm…
Isis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent hotel but overpriced compared to other options we have stayed at in brockenhurst. Expedia rate is high and didn’t include breakfast. We were made to feel grateful for being fed 3 times despite the high price! Not friendly and welcoming and room small and dated but great location. Better value for money options exist.

Great New Forest reyrrat
Had a few days with my son at the Balmer Lawn and had a great time. Kid friendly but also respectful to other guests. Outdoor facilities were great and the staff couldn’t do enough to make us welcome and catered for.

Really really overpriced quite disappointing yo spend this much and have a room that resembles a student accommodation The outdoor pool was nice the bathroom was new but the hotel as tired bedroom decor lacklustre One staff member was rather rude And lots of mess and debris Really wanted to ask for a refund of some sort as it was so expensive

Friendly staff but very tired room- towels dreadfully thin, bobbly and needing to be replaced, big chip in bath, headboards all worn. Old fashioned facilities- indoor pool not suitable for a proper swim due to depth and shape - more suitable for young children.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent experience overall, wonderful staff
Gorgeous hotel in a beautiful location, short walk in to the village. Hotel staff were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was very good quality, and a great choice. Evening meal absolutely delicious. Spa (aromatherapy massage) was fantastic. Pool area was a little tired - pool was a little colder than ideal, and the button to activate the jacuzzi didn’t seem to work. Also would recommend better pillows as the ones provided were a bit unyielding. But all in all, good value for money and a lovely experience, would definitely visit again.

Overall unfortunately disappointed.
The hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. The outdoor pool is wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the room we stayed in was shabby. On check out we spoke to the manager about the damaged wallpaper, the crack in the sink, cracks in the bathroom tiles and the low water pressure. He told us that the room was on the list for refurbishment but they still charged £220 (or near enough) for the room which I think is unacceptable especially as their website says ‘high quality’. We had already paid on arrival so the manager said he couldn’t refund us anything. Quite disappointed as the hotel is in a great location with lovely facilities.
Donna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not for vegans!
Pleasant with good service. Unfortunately the room was extremely hot and only a small oscillation fan was provided. Very disappointed that there was only 1 vegan option on the menu for the Berisford restaurant which meant we had to travel further afield to eat.

Beautiful setting on edge of New Forest
Beautiful setting on edge of New Forest and still handy for a 15 min walk to local shops. A few minutes stroll and you are on to the forest routes and with the wild ponies. Used gym and jacuzzi and indoor pool. Lovely lounge areas and fireplace to sit and read the paper and enjoy a morning coffee. Fantastic to have a few car chargers for electric cars on site so quickly recharged. Annoyingly the “eco-friendly” setting of gym machines mean they turn off and lose your data the moment you stop jogging/ pedalling-need to change that as should allow a 1 minute pause while take a drink. Spa towels were thin NHS-style towels - expected something soft and fluffier! TV did not work at all in our room which was a shame. Comfortable stay for a weekend. Easter picture trail for children in hotel.
