Really nice clean cosy room. Nice touches incl folded towels on bed with chocolates. Hot tub terrace was private and nicely laid out. Hot tub itself was really nice, warm, and clean, with cool lights! Menu and specials were varied and plentiful. Food was really nice. Staff friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Would definitely go back

Decent location for exploring the New Forest, nice and quiet, and the hot tub on the private deck definitely increased the enjoyment of the stay. Staff were friendly and helpful - the only downside was that the breakfast service was very slow as one poor girl was doing everything on her own... Would definitely go back though, perfect retreat for couples to enjoy a long weekend

2nd visit.

This was the 2nd time we have visited The three Lions and it's ideal if you have your dog with you, very comfortable beds and excellent breakfast but lack of a permanent chef meant that there was no food to be had on one of our nights there which was disappointing.

Rest and relaxation

Roast was beautiful. Breakfast was great. Stayed for my partners birthday in a hot tub room and it was absolutely gorgeous. Natalie greeted us and was efficient and happy. She’s a great first impression. All the staff were amazing. We will definitely be back again. R and r was just what we needed from two people who work 50+ hrs a week. It was an escape for a night that was well needed and well overdue. It didn’t disappoint. Thank you

Bit hit and miss visit.

Room was very good. while tea/coffee supplies replenished including towels, the bed was left unmade. Breakfast on second morning was dreadful. No avocado for vegetarian breakfast, they'd run out of white bread for toast, fried eggs and poached eggs like bullets. Told this was the way the Spanish chef cooked them.

2 nights as part of UK road trip

Booked a room with outdoor hot tub. Good things. Room was spacious and had everything we needed. Portable air conditioning unit was handy. Bed comfy. Hot tub on the private terrace was so great after a days exploring. Fluffy towels and robes. Terrace had good seating to relax. Bad things Plants were either dead or planters empty and tab ends around. The solar lights and lanterns around the terrace didn't work, which was a shame as it would have been romantic and made it special for our anniversary trip. Bright light outside the front door shining into the room when trying to sleep. A light on a sensor would be better. All these could be an easy fix. We ate in the restaurant 1st night but it was a limited menu and absolutely zero atmosphere. Could've heard a pin drop. I think we were the only customers. Food was good but we chose to go elsewhere for the second night for our anniversary meal. Breakfast was cooked to order and was good. But again so quiet - some background music would have been nice. All in all enjoyed the visit and would recommend if slight issues could be addressed.

We stayed for two nights in one of the rooms with a hot tub, luckily we decided to go for the hot tub as my wife had an accident just before our trip & was using crutches & these rooms are easily accessible, sadly she couldnt use the hot tub but i could 😅 The Three Lions is a lovely venue, plenty of parking, lovely grounds around the buildings with plenty of outside seating, our room was nice, clean & tidy & the small private decking area with seating & a hot tub was lovely to be out in & listen to the birds. We had breakfast & dinner both days at The Three Lions & the food was amazing, i couldnt fault any of it, well presented & just cooked perfectly, the staff were all professional, friendly & helpful, always welcoming & making sure we had everything we needed & that we were happy with the food. We were very happy with our stay at The Three Lions & we are already planning another visit to The New Forest next year & we will definitely be considering staying at The Three Lions again, thank you to all the staff for making our stay absolutely faultless.

Disgruntled

The hotel is very expensive for one night granted it has a hot tub but the cleanliness is not the best in the hot tub or in the room itself. I arrived late and left early and should have said something then. Cobwebs everywhere in the room and a dirty carpet and towels. No sugar or sweeteners provided either.
