Excellent breakfast although not too keen on the sausages.
Room was a little small.
The room was a good and bathroom
The breakfast was that good found big long hairs in me breakfast
Host was very welcoming & friendly. Clean, comfy & a great breakfast.
Nick gave a lovely welcome.The room was perfect and thd breakfast was lovely.We would definitely recommend. The location is a beautiful town full of tea shops ,pubs,restaurants and visitors shops
Good location. Parking on site. Bright and clean room. Coffee making facilities with FRESH milk. Excellent breakfast.
Nothing.
Lovely B&B for a visit to the New Forest. I stayed here for 3 nights for a short break to walk some trails around Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst and it was a perfect choice. My room was spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Nick is a great host who provided a warm welcome and delicious generous breakfast.
Convenient
Rather cramped for us but otherwise very good
Beautiful location, comfy room.
Fabulous location, lovely homely B&B with a really friendly host Nick. Fabulous shower and scrummy cooked breakfast
The bed was really squeaky when we turned over and we both woke with sore backs (which soon resolved once up and moving). Others might love a softer mattress so I know it’s difficult to cater for everyone
We have stayed here before, and it’s convenient for us, for our way to the IOW. Lovely place, clean and friendly welcome
Very convenient setting. Lovely welcome by Nick Great room. Beautiful bed so so comfy.
Great location only a few minutes from the town centre with a good selection of restaurants. Everything was impeccably clean. Welcoming host and an excellent breakfast. Off street parking was a definite bonus - two spaces for three rooms means it's not guaranteed, however there is a quiet side street adjacent to the property.
On a busy road so some traffic noise at night, but ear plugs sorted that.
The host, Nick, was brilliant. He did everything to make our stay go as smoothly as possible as we were attending a wedding and timings were crucial. Very hospitable.
Heel fijne kamer, super aardige gastvrouw en gastheer.
La gentillesse de l hôte. La propreté exemplaire. Un petit déjeuner bon et copieux. Café thé lait eau dans la chambre.

È la seconda volta che torniamo in questa casa stupenda nel centro del New Forest. Nick è stato super gentile come sempre con mille attenzioni per noi e per il nostro bimbo di due anni. È stato un soggiorno perfetto e nonostante abbiamo pernottato cinque giorni, avremmo voluto restare ancora un po’. La camera è pulitissima, nuova e ampia. La colazione preparata ogni giorno da Nick è varia e ottima. Grazie mille! Ci siamo sentiti come fossimo a casa, in famiglia.
Nulla. Dover andare via finito il soggiorno!
Would like to all

Gracias Nick por ser tan amable con nosotros. Ojalá nos volvamos a ver pronto.
Clean, comfortable, host Nick was very accommodating with our request for an early breakfast which was great. No complaints at all.
Clean and helpful
Location and cleanliness
Fabulous, comfortable room and super clean bathroom. Whole house was beautifully kept and Nick was the perfect host. Because of an event we were attending we had to leave both days before the official breakfast time and Nick was only too happy to oblige with a quick bowl of cereal, yoghurt and fruit juice as well as tea and coffee. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty!
Nothing needed to be improved on
b&b très confortable hébergement super propre. Déco récente et classe notre hôte très efficace et sympa tout était parfait . La proximité de la route assez fréquentée n’est pas un souci car la nuit c’est calme
Rien
Great location . Very comfy bed . Spotlessly clean and everything you needed. Fabulous freshly cooked breakfast by Nick , who is a perfect host . Lovely to talk to and very accommodating. Perfect property in a beautiful part of the country. Would recommend it to anyone and hope to return .
A great place to stay in a great location near the forest and walking distance to the restaurants and shops
N/a
Really calm and comfortable feeling. Lovely room and en-suite. Great location for lots of restaurants and bars, only a few minutes walk away.
Nothing
Nous avons apprécié l'accueil de Nick, la taille et le confort de la chambre, la qualité du couchage, la propreté de la salle de bain. Le petit déjeuner était très bien. Le gîte se situe à proximité de landes et de forêts pour les balades dans le New Forest.
Comme il faisait très chaud, nous avons laissé les fenêtres ouvertes. Cependant, la chambre donne sur une route très circulée, et le bruit de la circulation peut être gênant.
Rooms very clean , owner was friendly, breakfast cooked to what you wanted . We stayed before going on a cruise was 10 mins from port
A lovely clean comfortable room and a very pleasant host. Close to the high street with everything you could need. Spotless!
There was nothing we actually didn’t like. Obviously we all have our own preferences with pillows, beds etc which is why we gave 8 and not 10, having said that, it was fine.
Nick is a very good host, and the location is close to many amenities, the bed was comfortable, decoration and facilities very good, and the breakfast excellent. What more do you require !!
Everything was good or better !!
Very nice room
Small bathroom. Major heatwave while there 1 standard fan in upstairs room impossible to sleep. Owner may need to look at aircon in future.
The B&B was very well located with a short walk into town to the local restaurants. Nick provided us with a delicious cooked breakfast each morning. Perfect to set us up for a days cycling in the forest. Nick let us store our bikes in his secure locked shed.
Location was perfect for us. Host was very kind and friendly. Bedroom was comfortable and spotlessly clean.
A beautiful spotlessly clean room. A super welcoming host and a comfortable sleep. Breakfast was perfect in a lovely dining space.
No issues or criticism
Breakfast was good. Generous and cooked as requested.
Everything was fine.
Lovely breakfast and well presented.
I could find nothing to dislike.
Nick was a fantastic host. He was always concerend about the guest. Loved the hearty English breakfast.
Nothing to note
Nick was a great host!
Everything we needed and close proximity to the town was great. Breakfast great 👍
Nick was very friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and the breakfast excellent - thank you
We like it all

The room had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was well organised and we pre-ordered exactly what we wanted so it was ready for us when we came down in the morning. The host, Nick, was friendly & helpful, we wished we could have stayed longer!
N/A
The B&B was super clean, warm and only a 2 min walk to Lyndhurst high street, where you can find a good selection of restaurants, cafes, pubs and a lovely wine & cheese bar. Nick was really welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and the breakfasts were very tasty & substantial.
Nothing, it was the perfect stay!
Good facilities and great location
Nothing to dislike
Mooi huis, parkeerplaats, schoon, goed bed en aardige gastheer.
Immaculately presented room with friendly and flexible service along with a wonderfully delicious breakfast. Centrally located, what's not to love. Thank you Nick.
N/A
Everything was perfect and I couldn't recommend this place more. Warm room, parking, great location (very short walk into Lyndhurst, highly recommend visiting the Fox and Hounds for great food), clean room (and tidied up every time we went out), really friendly and attentive host (Nick), and the most delicious cooked breakfast. Nick also went above and beyond with helping me surprise my partner with a cute birthday set up to come down to at breakfast. We will absolutely be back again.
Couldn't fault a thing.
The location was excellent, easy walk into town. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance The room was Very clean and comfortable, the bath was a bonus with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was excellent with lots on offer Coffee was lovely
We don’t do B&B usually as we find it awkward regarding noise and intruding in other people’s space but as we were the only guests at the time it wasn’t a problem.
Everything was as we would have wanted.
Maybe a light over the mirror in the bathroom and the one in the bedroom but that's all
A wonderful stay from start to finish. Nick was a friendly and genuinely welcoming host who made us feel at home right away. The room was impeccably clean with all the modern comforts you could want, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast was beautifully executed, generous, and absolutely delicious. The location is ideal too—just a two-minute walk to eateries and cafés, close to the NF trails, and with a small on-site parking area that was very convenient. A fantastic bed and breakfast that we’d happily return to.
Nothing. Everything perfect!
Well-catered breakfast. Considerate and accommodating hosts over a relatively long stay. Great location for accessing Lyndhurst. Servicing of room on a daily basis was appreciated.
No area to sit in other than the bedroom except for breakfast. Room a little snug with two suitcases. No access to a small fridge nor laundry facilities especially if staying more than one or two nights. Short stays obviously more suitable for the property.
all was fine
traffic noise began quite early
very good
IT was quite satisfactory
Clean and friendly. And just a short walk to town centre for lots food and drink.
Nick was very friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect and breakfast was wonderful and cooked just right.
There was absolutely nothing that we didn't like.
The place was immaculately clean. The host was very friendly and chatty, told us some good routes for walking and where was good to eat nearby. Ideal Base for the new forest. Would highly recommend and would 100% stay again.
Breakfast was excellent , lovely clean and comfortable room everything we needed. would stay here again.
Nothing
Cosy, comfortable, very clean, well maintained. Big comfortable bed. Nice en suite. Choice of cooked breakfast as well as cereal, yogurt etc Very welcoming and relaxed.
Nothing really.
Nicely presented B&B close to shops and restaurants in Lyndhurst. The host, Nick, was very welcoming. Lovely to have tea, coffee, fresh milk and biscuits in the room. Well-cooked breakfast to order - could be elevated with better quality ingredients, e.g., croissants, sausages.
Some road noise in room 1 (at the front of the house). Room 2 would probably be quieter at the back.
Lovely room and easy walk into Lyndhurst. Hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome. Would definitely stay again.
Nothing to dislike.
The room, breakfast and owners were excellent, we enjoyed our stay so much we are looking at booking here very soon.
Nothing everything was perfect
Room & bathroom very clean
Pre order breakfast,no bread choices or fruit choices & the host was not particular friendly not unfriendly but a little shoryt
Clean comfortable and good value
Host could have been more positive
Breakfast the best you could get. Accommodation a few minutes walk into Lyndhurst to restaurants and shops. Our host Nick looked after us very well, always there and a great help in planning days out. Very knowledgeable about the Forest and surrounding areas.
Nothing
Excellent location and perfect place to stay prior to a cruise from Southampton (20 minute journey to port). Loads of places to eat out a short walk away. Would stay again
Very attentive. Quiet. Location was ideal for Lyndhurst town and getting to parts of the forest. Breakfast was good.
Spotlessly clean, everything you need was provided. Location is ideal for walking into the village, which has a very good selection of places to eat.
Nothing
Avalon House B&B was in an excellent position for our needs. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Very comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely filling breakfast. We plan to return the same time next year and would definitely recommend a stay there.
Great location. Clean great breakfast. Friendly host. Faultless
Nothing
The breakfast was delicious. Nick was a really accommodating and friendly host. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and Nick ensured the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits remained topped up throughout our stay.
The position of the property was excellent. Just before the ever constant traffic jam to get onto the high street. It was close to all local amenities & we were allowed to park prior to check in to explore our favourite places. We were greeted at the door and taken personally to our room. We had expected a high level of customer service ( from reviews ) & that's exactly what we experienced from start to finish. Linens & towels were great, as were the complimentary toiletries and beverage station. The bed was very comfortable, and the temperature in the room/ bathroom spot on. Breakfast ( pre ordered) was very good for both meat & non meat options.
There was nothing we did not like. We were sad to leave, & my bag was carried to the car for me!
The property was bright and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and the shower was good.
Het bed en de matras zijn heerlijk, je heb alles wat je nodig hebt in de kamer.. Perfect gelegen Het ontbijt is heerlijk en zeer vriendelijke gastheer. Alles is zeer netjes. We komen zeker terug!!
Very convenient, parking a bonus, lovely breakfast.
Nothing.
We have stayed here many times Nick and Judith are great hosts and very welcoming the rooms are spotlessly clean And nick does a great breakfast And only a short walk into Lyndhurst We think it’s the best b&b in the new forest 🌳

Breakfast was very tasty, well organised. We were asked to fill in a questionnaire of what we would like to eat and the amount. That’s a good idea.
Clean, modern facilities. Friendly staff (Thxs.Nic). Very good breakfast.

Everything was clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Breakfast was delicious and we were offered more if needed. Room was cleaned to a high standard. Host was very welcoming and friendly. Great location.
Nothing. We used this as a stop over before driving to Southampton the next day for our 2 week cruise.
Breakfast is lovely, host was very nice. Shower was good. The location just off the high street was great with a good selection of pubs and restaurants. Really easy for access to Southampton port for our cruise. We will be back.....
Really lovely B & B host was friendly. Breakfast was really good. Near the village to walk around.
Nothing
This was our 3rd year of staying here we like it so much. The hosts, Nick and Judith, are very friendly and put themselves out to make the stay such a pleasure. The breakfast choice is excellent and cooked perfectly. It is in an ideal situation for walking into Lyndhurst or driving into the New Forest to explore. In Lyndhurst there are many places to eat dinner with a choice of different cuisine.
There is absolutely nothing that we didn't like.
Excellent location. Lovely clean room and a very comfortable large bed. Great Attention to detail with everything you would need for a wonderful stay. Nick was a great host. Terrific breakfast and vegetarian/vegan options. We look forward to a return visit.

Frühstück war sehr lecker.
Perfect location and Nick was the most accommodating host I’ve ever met, he obviously really enjoys meeting people. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again without fail.
Bon emplacement
Good fresh food with a variety of choices. Portions were reasonable. The dining room clean and airy. Good spacing between dining tables. Nick was a friendly host.
Comfortable, made to feel very welcome.
Some noise from the road during the night but didn’t disturb us.
Lovely room, very clean and easy to get to. Very friendly and welcoming host. Breakfast was delicious. Only 30 mins drive to the cruise ship terminal. Would definitely recommend the B&B. Fabulous!

Perfectly pleasant for our stop over before the ferry. Nice breakfast.
Very comfortable room,spacious and had everything you’d expect.WiFi easy to connect to and very reliable.Great sized bathroom again with all you’d need.Breakfast was fine,no issues.Good location with many eating places within gentle walking distance
Property itself was fine but there was a busy road right outside but thankfully was quieter during night hours
Superb welcome. Very thoughtful things like milk in a flask, bottled water, shower cap. Truly fabulous
A bit of a noisy road but that isn’t such a problem
