Such a beautiful part of the country.

October 2023

Outstanding walks

May 2023

The Woodland Trails are well signed. Lots of information to be found out about the locality.

October 2022

Visited Bolderwood. Walked some of the well marked trails from 1/2 mile to 4 miles. Saw deer at the deer platform but also walking round the trails. Made the visit very special. Recommend

September 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed walking through The Forest. Flat easy walking on the trails we did. Loved the fact that it is unspoilt.

June 2021

We loved this along with the dog who ran for miles and got very muddy and wet as raining! But really enjoyed it

November 2019

Great!

August 2019

Wonderful place and a amazing wildlife

July 2019

Lovely walks with the dog

April 2019

May 2017

We wanted to visit this attraction but it was closed when we were there.

May 2023

This was a disappointment in every way apart from the ice cream van in the car park. There were a few outdoor enclosures, nearly all amphibians not reptiles who had no shade and were obviously hiding from the heat - the entire family scoured each enclosure for the creature on the sign and saw absolutely none.

August 2022

This attraction appears to have closed

July 2021

We spend a couple of hours at this centre including our picnic lunch and ice creams. Staff are very informative and helpful in spotting some of the more elusive reptiles. This is also accessible by bike - remember to bear left at the first fork along the track, as we missed it the first time around because the sign is positioned further round the bend.

August 2019

A fab little freeattraction with plenty of reptiles to see in pods (if you're patient and happy to look for them). We didn't see every single native reptile however we went on a very hot day and didn't want to stay out in the sun too long to look. There was also a large hut run by the RSPB under their 'date with nature' scheme which shows a goshawk nest. We went after the goshawks had fledged but there was still footage to see and displays about other wildlife in the area. The two staff on duty were very friendly and helpful and happy to share their knowledge.

August 2018

This was a lovely place to visit with a two year old on a very cold day. As well as the displays that you'd expect there is a play, reading and colouring area for small children. The staff were really helpful, especially when Nanna was looking for baby changing facilities and needed help with the lift. Nanna and the two year old also enjoyed a snack in the cafe - again staff were very helpful and the food was tasty! There was also a nice selection of reasonably priced gifts. We're looking forward to visiting again.

December 2019

Went on an event day, which was, for us, too busy. The tickets allowed to go in again within 6 days. Lovely and peaceful and managed to see round the palace. Staff very friendly and heloful. Our grandchildren had a great day

May 2018

Very interesting. Grandson enjoyed the hands on displays.

August 2017

Very good, and very interesting

May 2024

We really enjoyed the display in the museum. It explained to concept of the common land well and was really interesting. Lovely gift shop and cafe also and the needlework panel upstairs is outstanding. A real treasure that will be admired for a long time to come.

April 2024

Lots of interesting things to read and find out about the New Forest area and some interactive bits for kids. Great cafe attached for cake and coffee.

August 2023

Spent a pleasant time looking around the interesting museum and getting advice on the closest children's play area from a helpful lady at the information desk.

June 2023

good information about the forest

November 2021

A great place to learn more about the New Forest - Staff incredibly helpful

September 2021

This Centre is worth a visit.

June 2021

A good selection of gifts and useful information

September 2019

very helpful

June 2019

The tearoom here is great and very dog friendly

April 2019

Excellent, informative displays with plenty to appeal to all ages. We went on a rainy day and spent a couple of hours there with a 9yo, 4yo and 1yo. Learnt a lot about the history of the New Forest and how it is currently managed and would happily go back again,

August 2018

Informative and Interesting. Nice selection of items in shop.

March 2018

Very interesting and informative.

August 2017

Great little pub. We walked from Brockenhurst and had lunch outside. Both dishes we ordered were very tasty . On a Sunday you do need to book to get a roast lunch as the pub is very popular for a roast.

April 2024

Very expensive. 2 unremarkable sandwiches, 2 portions of chips and 2 soft drinks came to over £30.00.

May 2023

Lovely food staff helpful

December 2022

Lovely pub with relaxing friendly atmosphere and good food.

November 2021

Lovely pub/restaurant in beautiful location, staff friendly and food great. Had a good evening here, think you need to book ahead. Well worth a visit.

October 2021

Cycled there through the forest for a light lunch . Not as good as we remembered it in November 2020. Our light bites were very small portions of very average food and not good value for money . But we saw enormous sandwiches taken to other tables , more than we would have wanted to eat, but maybe a better choice for folk who like a more substantial meal. Customer service good .

October 2021

Service was very friendly but the food was very poor and we couldn’t eat it.

August 2021

Great food, friendly staff, but the service was poor on each of the three occasions that we visited.

June 2021

Very good food

September 2020

Very disappointed, over priced drinks, poor quality expensive food - definitely won’t rush back

September 2020

Stayed for 5 nights and went here twice. Was fantastic food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend

February 2020

Fabulous, traditional country pub with amazing food. Found this by accident but well worth a visit. Very warm welcome from friendly, helpful staff and good home cooked, quality food. 10/10

Fabulous food, great hospitality

Cosy, friendly and good food. What more does anyone want?

April 2019

Lovely cost pub

April 2019

Great food!

February 2019

We have eaten at the Oak Inn in Bank many times over the years and the standard of food is not what it used to be. I would have described the food previously as that of a gastro pub whereas now I would describe it as pub grub. The pub is still a great place to go for a meal. But I would prefer if they did not have sittings - the choice being 6-6.30 or 8-8.30

October 2018

Walked up from Brockenhurst and had a lovely lunch . ALL the staff were so friendly and welcoming.

January 2018

Great pub with lovely food and friendly service.

January 2018

The friendliest welcome and table service we have ever received! The food was exceptional with a menu that caters very well for all (including a very good veggie section). Spotlessly clean, both inside and out, with fabulous outside table areas and well kept gardens. Highly recommend a visit!

May 2024

Good food and ale with friendly service in a traditional country pub. Not many like this left.

May 2019

excellent friendly pub, lovely food and service

July 2017

A real disappointment. When we arrived there was one other couple in the whole place...understandable that it was empty at 7pm on a Saturday evening as the food was terrible. The one member of staff was very friendly and professional. Such a shame.

March 2024

Excellent food outside with all Covid measures in place.?

August 2020

We stayed in Lyndhurst for the week and visited the Fox and Hounds at all different times of the day and for a mixture of just drinks and drinks and food. Couldnt beat it. The friendly and efficient staff. Choice of Food and drink and highly recommend the sunday roast. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly pub with.excellent beer and good food at reasonable prices. Pleasant outside patio and live music at weekends fun. New Forest discount card accepted for food orders recommended.

September 2017

Highly recommend a visit. Amazing experience. The cheese and meat platters were delicious, the staff so friendly and very knowledgeable. The opportunity to try three different wines in one order was great. When next in the area would certainly return.

April 2024

We popped in for a drink. The service was great and there was a good atmosphere

April 2024

Holly, the host of Renoufs was very knowledgable and gave good recommendations both for wine and cheese. The meal was amazing, we had the Ultimate vegetarian platter for 2 which was enough for us 4 ladies. The ambience was relaxing, price reasonable and will definitely be revisiting. All in all, a great experience! Thanks Holly.

February 2024

A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.

June 2023

Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.

April 2019

Lovely sea walk within 15 minutes of the cottage.

March 2024

A lovely place to stay. So much to see and do locally and within easy reach.

August 2023

Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.

June 2023

Lovely quiet location for a beach walk. Great for watching the sea and waves without the crowds.

June 2023

Brilliant beach.

September 2022

Beautiful beach with views to The Isle of Wight. Good for swimming, picnics and walking. Very good car parking and public toilets. Lots of good places to eat and drink either next to the beach or in the village, a short walk away

July 2022

A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.

October 2021

One of my favourite places

July 2021

Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.

September 2020

Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.

September 2019

Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.

June 2019

Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s

April 2019

great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach

March 2019

Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.

December 2017

Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc

November 2017

Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.

June 2017

Very picturesque beach with great access, looks good for a beach day

October 2021

Lovely

April 2019

Lovely clean sandy beach and a really i would highly recommend this spot for your car to break down takes the ouch out of waiting for the recovery truck

April 2017

Nice beach with good facilities

April 2023

Beautiful beach, lots of sand for youngsters- definitely been high on our favourites list, for more than 30 years and still is now the 'children' are nearly 30! - well worth the drive from New Forest. The Noisy Lobster is great and now has an 'outdoor upstairs' too. The Beach Cafe, half-way along, is excellent too- used to do very good carrot cake! The connecting beach towards Steamer Point is dog-friendly all year which is a bonus. Walking to the quay end, you can catch the ferry to Hengistbury Head which is beautiful beach too and often quieter (top favourite!) Even this last week (JULY 2021) the 'kids' wanted to crab-fish from Mudeford Quay!!
