We came here to end a wonderful day out driving a traction engine in the gorgeous New Forest [TractionEngineDrivingDays], so arrived with big grins on our faces, and covered in smuts and oil stains! This was not a problem at all- the friendly reception booked us in with the really surprising and unexpected news that our room had been upgraded to a 'Junior Suite'. Arriving in our room was fabulous- an in room copper bath tub as well as a large shower in the ensuite, plus a lovely big comfortable bed. Once clean, it was time to explore all the trreats that had been left for us- tea pigs tea bags, posh (and very yummy) chocolates, a bottle of Fullers London pride and a voucher for a free G & T in the bar! Wtg White Buck! The food in the restaurant was spot on - the steak on the bone was delectable, and cooked exactly as ordered- a pleasant surprise not found in many places. After a relaxing night's sleep, it was back down to the restaurant for leisurely and much appreciated breakfast before reluctantly returning home.
