I had a lovely one-night stay at the Mortimer Arms while exploring the area. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff's warmth made for a welcoming atmosphere. Dining was pleasant with generous portions and tasty food, though the breakfast price felt a bit high. Overall, a great place for a comfortable stay, though the renovations left a slight smell of fresh paint.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were mostly clean and the dining options were enjoyable, there were significant issues that left me feeling disappointed. The service felt a bit off at times, and the hotel's family-friendly claims didn't quite hold up, especially for those with young children. Overall, I'm not sure if I would choose to stay here again.

I had a very comfortable overnight stay at this hotel, enjoying a spacious room and a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. The location is great for accessing the New Forest and is right next to Paultons Park. However, the cleanliness of the room could use some attention, and the double glazing would help with outside noise. Despite these issues, it was excellent value for money and I would certainly return.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the room was spacious and the holiday touches were appreciated, the overall cleanliness, especially in the dining area, left much to be desired. Unfortunately, the dining experience during Christmas didn't meet expectations, and the lack of evening services was disappointing. The staff were polite, but there needs to be more clarity around the hotel's services for guests.

The hotel stayed at a clean and spacious pub that is conveniently located near Peppa Pig World, making it a great choice for families. The value for money on dining might not be ideal, given the higher prices, but the food quality is decent. While I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, the noise from other guests and thin walls can be a bit of a drawback.
