The White Buck

Beautiful location, hotel lovely and cosy with beautiful outdoor area. Breakfast was delicious and breakfast staff very friendly and welcoming .

Welcoming member of staff and barman not very friendly, and room carpet in need of a clean.

Ein außergewöhnlich gutes Hotel mit sehr gutem Essen und Getränke sowie sehr nettem und zuvorkommenden Personal. Das Frühstück war extrem gut.

Keine Beanstandungen.

Great staff great location good value excellent breakfast

Could have more choice evening menu

Earliest breakfast was 8am which is not helpful when you are on business and need to be at your first appointment at 8am

Breakfast was great and very nice complimentary drink in the room and nice big bathroom.

Great hotel. Helpful staff. Good food.

Nothing.

Rustic, natural materials which felt much better than modern plastic-type feel hotels. All the staff were so friendly, professional and attentive. Lovely food and a good selection of drinks. Nothing was too much trouble. The bathroom shower is the most powerful I have experienced in a hotel, ever.

Having to leave.

The inn was full of character in a great location and just a short walk to Burley village. Good breakfast and restaurant meals

Very bust restaurant in day so lots of visitors, hence no so peaceful but still good

A fabulous location for a couple of days away. Park the car and go walking / eating / drinking !

Beautifully clean

Location was excellent, we were visiting our son in the New Forest. Friendly staff, dog friendly and an excellent breakfast.

Great location, really friendly, room was really comfy and the hotel is very dog friendly

Good location, nice choice of food and wine plus attentive, friendly staff.

Location grounds staff and services accommodation

Because of disabilities access to first floor room

It was all lovely

The bed and pillows were very hard

Location, seclusion and very friendly staff.

Location and ambience

Food was mediocre and never hot

Beautiful hotel in a perfect setting, with some lovely walks through the forest right next to it. Food was good and the staff were also great. Would 100% come back.

Well maintained and cared for

Room was very dark

Ftiendly staff who were eager to please.Great location for lovely walks.

Too many things in rooms like chests,could become a hazzard at night.

Beautiful setting, lovely decor, friendly staff

The dinner menu wasn’t great, not much choice and a little plain

Amazing quiet & beautiful location. Friendly staff, good rooms with extremely comfortable beds.

Staff were fantastic especially Grace.

Relaxed and homely feel. Fresh produce.

An excellent hotel with friendly staff and in a very nice location. Food was very good too. I would certainly stay there again.

Nothing really.

Friendly staff very well presented clean tidy, little extras very nice

Lovely hotel in a brilliant location in the forest just outside of Burley, 10/15 minute walk to the village from the car park. Very attentive and friendly staff especially the breakfast ladies. All the food was excellent it definitely was the best food we had whilst in the new forest, we ended up having dinner here every night because it was so good. The rooms are clean and tidy with everything you would need, large shower tray with a powerful shower. Overall great stay and would come again.

The only gripe we would have was that being an old building you can literally hear everything above and below your room, other guests walking around above, the coffee machines going off 6am, conversations etc etc not so good if you’re a light sleeper.

Location, decor, outside seating, food and drink (both breakfast & dinner), friendly staff

In room - extractor above shower filthy and blocked, shelf above sink falling down, no hand wash (yet other non-essentials such as hair conditioner), glass in bathroom door too transparent

The property is in a wonderful location and very tranquil. The room was great, it had free slippers and a pillow mist too. Comfortable bed, good shower. Coffee machine with Nespresso pods, kettle, teas and biscuits. Fresh milk in a little fridge just outside the room. Great dinner at the restaurant and wonderfully tasting breakfast too. Staff a delight.

Everything

Nothing to dislike

The White Buck is a really lovely place to stay and the setting was beautiful and the rooms was very pleasant the food and service was absolutely amazing , The evening meals service was first class you was attended to very quickly and the food was not long in being served

the only thing was not really a dislike more of i wish this was different the breakfast was outstanding but the only problems is they do not open for breakfast until 08:00 and then there is a big queue that leads to a delay in service as the staff are not able to deal with the rush so as i was on business i9n the area this might not suit business travellers as it was all hands to breakfast service by the staff that was there and this left check in with no one present

good breakfast and great location in the heart of the New Forest, friendly helpful staff

it was all to the standard i expected

Een ontzettend sfeervolle accommodatie. Schoon en verzorgd.

Het was een erg warme dag toen wij hier verbleven. Hou er rekening mee dat er geen airco is. Er was wel een ventilator geplaatst.

Lovely quiet location, good sized room, great breakfast, friendly staff. Plenty of easy parking

Very clean and welcoming Set in a beautiful country setting

Restaurant menu disappointing Not exciting at all and even less so for Vegans

Great setting Very clean and welcoming Looks amazing

Restaurant menu not exciting Definitely no wow factor

Geweldig kader, vriendelijk personeel, zeer kindvriendelijk, top restaurant, mooie locatie

Niets

Location great Lovely part of the new forest .Attentive staff

Our room was slightly tired. Needs refreshed in areas

Nothing was a problem if you needed anything

Location

Dirty bathroom doors and tired furniture

Sublime breakfast offering, service a bit slow.

Cute room but very very small - left with a number of bruises from navigating round it.

Sehr schöne Lage im Nationalpark. Wir hatten zwei Zimmer, eine war mit schöner Aussicht auf die Terrasse, die andere allerdings auf den unattraktiven Hinterhof. Die Betten waren bequem, die Deko passend zum Stil des Hotels. Nette Aufmerksamkeiten für die Hunde, sogar schneeweiße Tücher für die Pfoten. Grüne und ruhige Umgebung, wobei Mittags recht viele Besucher (Spaziergänger, Radfahrer) zum Lunch ins hoteleigene Restaurant kommen. Das Restaurant ist für englische Verhältnisse ok, wir haben eigentlich mehr erwartet. Das Frühstück a la carte war gut. Schöne Spaziergänge mit den Hunden in unmittelbarer Umgebung, sogar viele wilde Pferde aus der nächsten Nähe zu sehen!

Restaurant (dinner) könnte besser sein. Der Schimmel im Bad. Die Fenster lassen sich nur ein wenig öffnen, keine Möglichkeit das Zimmer richtig zu lüften. Ein Ventilator im Zimmer war vorhanden, das hat gegen hohe Temperaturen etwas geholfen.

De ligging is prachtig! Zeer hondvriendelijk! We hebben genoten van de tuin. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamer is netjes en ruim. De airco was superfijn! Ontbijt was zeer goed! De sfeer is heel prettig. Goede bedden.

Ik miste iets om de tassen op zetten. Ik vond het niet prettig dat de bagage aldoor op de grond stond. Een paar stoelen op de kamer zouden ook fijn zijn geweest. We moesten nu aldoor op het bed zitten. Maar wellicht hebben zij daar redenen voor om het zo te doen.

Great location very clean and comfy rooms, easy to walk out into the forest. Staff young and helpful. Delicious breakfast.

At dinner starters were exceptional main courses good but a bit confused! Our bath was in our room not great for a mother/son combo!

Lovely setting, great rooms, delicious food and very friendly staff.

This beautiful property has a very old country pub vibe to it while still having small modern twists to it. We loved it. The location is perfect, very secluded and quiet. The food was delicious and the staff so very friendly. Incredibly dog friendly and we got a little welcome pack for our dog which he loved.

Nothing.

The location on the outskirts of Burley with the New Forest right on the doorstep was fab. The general vibe and decor was inviting, and the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. We thought the doggy welcome pack was very thoughtful as was the milk fridge on the landing, demonstrating some great attention to detail.

Our en suite did not have a proper door! There was a saloon door with glass panes - and it didn’t even close fully. There was a significant gap between the two halves of the door. As much as the staff were lovely and helpful, service was slow, particularly at breakfast. The food was interesting, but lacked seasoning.

Location, character, staff

Our bedroom on second floor , badly designed, almost impossible to get into bed one side due to sloping ceiling. Would have been easy to move things around.

Great location, just a short stroll into Burley and very accessible to other parts of the forest and the coast.

Nothing to report.

Breakfast ,room ok for 2 nighs

The veiw .noise from air condirion unit at night ,made a weir sound now and then .

Facilities dog friendly

Stayed here once before and again would rate highly if travelling with or without a pet to explore the new forest area .. The classic rooms are a nice size and live up to the pictures ,friendly staff , breakfast was excellent and a nice evening meal menu reasonably priced. Lovely garden sitting/dining areas that on a nice day is very relaxing with a pleasant atmosphere , you can walk to the village of Burley in 25 mins. Overall the white buck ticks a lot of boxes for us would definitely return again

Second stay in 2 years and still cannot think of anything I didn,t like ......

Very dog friendly, very comfortable lovely room

Breakfast could be better

The Location and the food is wonderful

The room was so hot we could not sleep, the fan was useless

The breakfast is one of the best I have known. A buffet followed by a superb cooked menu. Included in the price - and probably worth £20 per head.

Access to our room was a bit full of narrow corridors and stairs. Even a few stairs to the bathroom.

Location is perfect for exploring the New Forest and nearby coast. Breakfast was good. Also had two members of our party in an accessibility room which was great for them and relatively cool in the hot weather

Unreliable wifi, frosted glass bathroom doors allow little privacy for occupant, dirty skylight windows, low water pressure, lukewarm shower. By far the worst point however is that in summer, the roof rooms are (or should be) unusable. We knew there was no air conditioning but we made the mistake of thinking a 4-star hotel would somehow be vaguely comfortable. The hotel must know these rooms are impossibly hot but they do little to mitigate, just a standing fan to blow the already hot air around. No fridge so even the drinking water can't stay cool. I get that you can't always put AC in these old buildings but the hotel should do much more to help for the price that they charge.

Very nice hotel in a lovely location. Excellent food

Super room and helpful friendly staff.

Unfortunately due to the heat wave the room was very hot with only fans to help. Not the hotels fault just bad luck.

Everything was lovely, a lot of attention to detail with things, ie fresh milk available all the time for coffees, slippers, pillow spray etc. they seemed to have thought of everything to make your stay as good as they could. Staff were very attentive and all very friendly and cheery despite the heatwave. We will definitely stay again!

Couldn’t be helped at all with this weather! But If I had to give one thing would just be in this heatwave loft rooms very warm, but was informed they will be getting air con in the future and we did have 2 fans in our room which made it a bit more bearable.

Beautiful and peaceful location with a great garden area for drinks and dining. Lovely historic building that has been tastefully decorated. Great breakfast menu included in the price. Great dinner menu and outdoor dining experience although in the very hot weather more lighter meal options would have been better. The food overall was good quality and good portion sizes. Good selection of wines and beers including low alcohol. Comfortable bed and nice room decor. Liked the coffee machine. Plenty of easy access parking and a definite plus was not being charged for parking. Friendly staff and easy check in and out. Excellent location for exploring the surrounding New Forest area.

Rooms were too hot in this weather and the fan provided did nothing but move hot air around so we didn't sleep well at all which spoilt the stay. Couldn't open the windows more than a couple of inches so no breeze to help cool the room. With climate change, this hotel needs to invest in better air conditioning for guest comfort at these prices. The bathroom was disappointing - shower was a dribble and one shower head kept falling over so couldn't use it, needed cleaning, mould in the grout, the sink wasn't cleaned daily nor the toilet. Worst was the glass door into the bathroom which meant you could see everything including someone on the toilet! Light fixture had not been cleaned and had cobwebs. Windows were filthy and covered in cobwebs. Breakfast took ages to be served despite few people actually in the dining room. The poached eggs were overcooked when the food did arrive.

We got a beautiful cottage room, felt so cozy in nature with the comforts of a delicious restaurant right at the property. So many lovely details, and the staff was amazing. Had a lovely stay with my daughter. As I really wanted to see a little of New Forest on our visit to the UK.

We had one night stay in a Classic double room. Having read reviews and seen photos I had expected a room with a decent view rather than looking over the car park. There was no comfortable chair provided in the room ( as shown in photos ) and the room involved a rather tedious access route up and down some steep and narrow stairs. The window frames were in a very poor condition and could do with a repaint. Apart from that the Hotel is lovely with nice gardens and excellent dining. The staff were all very nice and helpful.

As outlined above.

Small room , soft bed ,overpriced food

Lovely building, friendly staff. Excellent food.

Windows very cobwebbed and dusty.

Great location, staff were exceptional, very helpful

Stayed last year similar time of year, found it must more expensive this year

The location and the staff we friendly

The cushion on the bed was covered with dog fur the chest of drawers are broken on the top and the shower was coming off the wall and had a part missing and the towels were leaving fluffy stuff on our skin after having a shower

Situated in the heart of a forest 🌳 what could be better, nice view of garden, helpful staff and comfortable bed!

Only thing that was an issue was the dinner, starters delicious but main courses had to be sent back as steak and duck very over cooked. Staff were apologetic and a discount on the bill. All dealt with very well.

We were upgraded to a very large room with extras such as a free drink at the bar. Other little touches made a difference, such as bottled water in the room, fresh milk, bath robes, lovely toiletries. Great breakfast. Fantastic large outside seating area for eating and drinking. Great space inside in the bar and restaurant area.

Some fittings looking a little tired, bit pricey for what is basically a pub.

Location ,friendly staff ,good breakfast and airconditioned room .

Not a wide choice on the dinner menu and wine quite expensive

great location, lovely building

First staff meeting. We arrived a little early and were told tp go away and come back at 3.00 oclock. Fair enough though but no welcome etc!

Location, food and service were great

Room 11 needs the window which is painted shut to be openable and there needs to be more milk bottles in the communal fridge, minimum or at least 1 per room and the response that they do as many bottles as they can is a bit weak, easy to buy more bottles or use jam jars however this did improve on the second night. Small fridges in all rooms would be better, they aren’t expensive and take up very little room

Beautiful setting with a woodland walk nearby. The room was large and well shaded. Breakfast was very good with superb service.

Had character

No issues

Nice room, good dinner and nice breakfast

Service was patchy and in some cases careless. At dinner we were left for long periods without being looked after.

Room was brilliant, looked small from outside but was very spacious inside, good quality air van in room .

Messy grounds, tv WiFi didn't work.

Food and service was excellent

Lovely location. Lovely hotel. Breakfast is fantastic. Only improvement would be an open window in the attic rooms, it got very hot, even with a fan!!

This Hotel was beautiful without being to over the top, you could relax wherever you were in the hotel and the staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly. The idea of the two accessible rooms being ground floor with their own entrance was made so easy to get around, the room was very comfortable and beautifully set out to make getting around in a wheelchair very easy.

Theirs not really anything I didn’t like about the property, it would have helped to have a hand grip guard on one side of the bed to make getting in and out of bed a little easier, I did mange but it was very difficult indeed!

Honestly one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve stayed in! So comfortable, clean and thoughtfully done. I loved this place and am genuinely looking forward to returning

I thought the breakfast could use work. Found it a bit bland and cold, bread wasn’t great

Location

Poor choice for vegetarian in restaurant.

Great location and a very pleasant stay! Very charming and the food/wine are very good!!!

Nothing, loved it here

Nice place to stay

The hotel is nice, comfortable, and welcoming. The breakfast has many options and is delicious, but there's one thing I'd like to comment on: the cleanliness. I think it's not good enough. The downstairs shared bathroom for men and women was very dirty and smelly. My room in the bathroom on the first night smelled not very nice not clean properly , but on the second night was okay.

Great stay

The location is perfect to enjoy the New Forest. The staff and welcoming and friendly and the food is good too.

Bel établissement très bien situé au calme dans la forêt. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est bien, la carte est assez variée. La chambre est propre, bien équipée mais petite.

L'accès à notre chambre était quelque peu compliqué par un dédale de couloir et de différents paliers. La chambre elle même était sur plusieurs nivaux et au total sans réelle vue vers l'extérieur si ce n'est vers des portions de toitures. L'ensemble du bâtiment est donc un peu hétéroclite mais charmant. Les nombreux recoins font que l'endroit est sans doute difficile à entretenir et certains endroits pourraient nécessiter un peu de restauration.

Had a great stay at the White Buck. Staff was friendly, loved their cosy traditional decor and their terrace too: perfect for an al fresco meal or drink. Their breakfast was very good too. Would recommend.

Great location in the New Forest. near burley - easy 15 min walk. Friendly helpful staff Actually dog friendly rather than dog tolerant like so many places. They have a dog wash station Breakfast included - and they actually cook to order not just a buffet

Ev charging was very limited. Otherwise nothing

Stopped there at least 10 times, and all the rooms are clean we and good size apart from this time room 12 in the attic is extremely dangerous getting out of bed the roof is at such a angle its at 5 foot so you have to be very carefull getting out if bed. As it's right on the side of the bed with a sharp edge running the length of the bed . On leaving the bed to go to the bathroom, you've got the same problem, only difference there is padding to soften the bang on your head

loved county setting, beautifully decorated with friendly helpful staff

Absolutely loved this property! It was beautiful and in such a lovely location. You felt properly immersed in nature. The staff were fabulous. The breakfast in the morning was delectable. There was a small buffet of pastries, cereals, yoghurts, toasts and more. Then you were also able to select from a large menu for items such as a full English or French toast etc. We also booked a Sunday lunch at the property and it was one of the best I have ever had, especially as a vegetarian! Overall, it was a perfect weekend break away!

Great location - you can walk into the New Forest from the hotel. Beautiful building and outdoor space. Professional and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The white buck was in beautiful surroundings and the grounds really well kept!. They up graded our bedroom has it was my husbands birthday, which was a lovely thing to do. The staff couldn't do enough for you, you didn't have to wait very long for food and drink either. Asking any questions they would come back with a prompt answer. All in all a pleasurable experience..would definitely recommend

Perhaps more vegetarian options on the menu

Great location Lovely room Breakfast was delicious

The bed was a little uncomfortable for me

Everything! Lovely people, great food, cozy and full of old world charm
