The Beach House - New Forest

We have visited The Beach House Hotel multiple times in the last few months and have always enjoyed our experience. On both occasions, we received a warm and friendly welcome, as well as delicious food and drinks. The Sunday Roast is particularly tasty! Even though we hadn't made a reservation for Sunday lunch, the restaurant was fully booked, so we were seated in the library, which has charming wooden paneling and interesting decor. Dogs are also welcome at the restaurant. We highly recommend dining here, especially after a refreshing walk along the beach and nature reserve.

We didn't stay at the hotel but made a dinner reservation. Unfortunately, our experience was not what we had anticipated. The service was lacking and the food was just okay. However, the building itself was beautiful and provided a nice atmosphere. We did enjoy having coffee and cake there a few days prior, though. Overall, I wouldn't choose to go back.

Excellent service and looked after family well. food was very good and price reasonable. worth a visit

Spent two nights,as always room was lovely (have been in that room before) good choice at breakfast, dinner first night, pie was abit dry rest of meals fine, second evening food was good. Cannot fault staff, all very friendly and helpful would definitely go back. Hotel very quirky (typically hall and Woodhouse) beautiful views across the solent.

Probably the worst Sunday roast I have had in years. I booked a table here for Sunday lunch because I thought it was refreshing to read on their restaurants web site ‘we only serve “pink” beef’. As I had a little dog, we were relegated to the lounge area where the tables and chairs don’t really lend themselves to having anything other then a drink, and also, you had to go to the bar to order anything you wanted to eat pr drink and pay for it immediately upfront, which I thought was a bit strange until later when I was presented with my meal and then I realised why. They appeared to have only one wine list for the whole of the eating area, and when eventually tracked down, it had no prices on it, so we had to then ask how much each individual bottle cost. On ordering my roast beef, I was asked how I would like my beef. “Rare please” I said , thinking “ this bodes well” How wrong I was. When it arrived there were only two colours to describe the beef grey or brown completely over cooked, and when I complained saying “but this is not what you advertised” , they just came back with “ ok, would you like to order the pork or chicken instead?”. In summary, ghastly meal: if you want well done beef, cardboard potatoes, mushy vegetables and tasteless gravy then this is the place for you, otherwise my advice is go somewhere else.
