Location

Nestled in a stunning countryside setting, Passford House Hotel is the quintessential traditional hotel with beautiful grounds that surround the property. It boasts a lovely location in the New Forest, giving a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere where guests can explore the outdoors and enjoy the gardens. While the remoteness of the location is fabulous, the hotel is situated down a narrow country lane and can be reached via tortuous routes, but the stunning views make it all worth it. Despite being isolated, it is close to Lymington, Burley or Brockenhurst and the location is very handy for a short drive to these towns. Many guests loved the location and considered it the perfect base to explore New Forest and take a short drive to Lymington for attractions such as the coastal town. Some prefer rooms that do not face the entrance drive which can be a little noisy, but inside the hotel, guests can relax by the cosy fires and soak up the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. All in all, the superb location, great staff and fantastic facilities make Passford House Hotel an impressive place to stay.

Breakfast

Guests of Passford House Hotel can expect a delicious and comprehensive breakfast menu with plenty of choices available. The food is excellent and of good quality with many guests particularly enjoying the starters and sticky toffee pudding. While some guests found the breakfast service to be slow, the breakfast itself is definitely worth the additional cost (which is not included in the room rate). The buffet-style breakfast may be expensive for some, but it provides a good range of food on offer and guests appreciate being able to choose how much they take to avoid waste. Fresh pastries and exceptional options like cheese souffle are also available. Overall, the breakfast is enjoyable for everyone in the family and is good value for money.

Dinner

Passford House Hotel provides guests with a delicious dining experience that exceeds expectations. Although some guests found the dinner menu limited, the quality of the food was excellent and generous. Guests have described the food as wonderful, delicious and fine dining at its best. The evening meals were not always available due to staff shortages at the time of the visit or because of COVID restrictions. Despite this, the restaurant food remained very good, although potentially expensive. For families with young children, there might be limited options available. However, the attentive and friendly restaurant staff should be able to help with alternative arrangements. In general, guests were very happy with the dinner experience, which is described as delicious, superb and excellent. If you stay for several nights, the menu is not changed, which can become repetitive. Ultimately, dining at Passford House Hotel is a lovely experience and it is a great place to enjoy a lovely dinner.

Rooms

Many guests have found the rooms to be very comfortable with spacious and comfy beds and pillows.

They have praised the well-maintained rooms and public areas, excellent Gold view and bright leisure centre. The hotel also boasts a rich history with lovely characterful rooms and guests can enjoy their private seating areas in the courtyard.
