We stayed one night at the Passford House in a Principal Double room. The room was lovely with a four poster bed and a recently refurbished bathroom. Fairly sumptuous actually. The extensive gardens are beautiful and worth a walk around. The PHH has two pools - one outside and one inside, so you can swim whatever the weather. The hotel seems to appeal to all ages, including families with young children. If you want a quiet, romantic break it may be best to check in advance how many children they have staying when you want to visit. There was a large family group in attendance whilst we were there and that did affect the service we received. However, although service was slow, the food was excellent - both the dinner and the buffet breakfast were very enjoyable.
The PHH is located right in the thick of the New Forest. We visited both Lymington and Beaulieu over the 2 days. The weather was fantastic, which definitely added to the enjoyment of our weekend.
We would definitely recommend the New Forest and the Passford House Hotel as both a weekend break and a longer holiday destination. We'll be back!
