A night's stay Passford House Hotel We were looking for a dog friendly place to stay and found this lovely family run Country Hotel. We were allocated a room at the back of the hotel which leads out to their beautiful grounds and garden. They charge 30 per dog per night. But managed to negotiate it for the two dogs. For the dogs you get some biscuits and bowls.

No bed unlike other places. We weren't planning on having dinner but how could we not? You have to pre-order. Starters Tempura King Prawns with a nice tasty Asian slaw. 8.75 Pan fried Scallops 10.25 Mains Pan fried Ribeye 22.50 Wild Mushroom Rissotto 17.00 Putting it politely, these were a bit of a let down unfortunately Didn't have desserts and decided to have liquor coffees in the bar instead. Breakfast is buffet style and it was a great end to our stay. Staff were very friendly Find this review helpful please like follow

A really enjoyable extended family weekend away, following the two years constraints of the Covid Pandemic, mainly due to the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff, combined with excellent standards of cleanliness and housekeeping. The owner is a frequent presence and a fount of historical and local knowledge, while the gardens surrouding the hotel are a joy, both to wander in, or to rest and enjoy the peace and tranquility they offer.

Our meals were delicious, very attractively served with complementary wines and the dining room is one of the most attractive hotel dining rooms I have eaten in, with ambient lighting and fresh flowers on each table. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a superior room, a real treat, but all members of the party were very happy with their allocated accommodation, particularly their personalised boxes of shortbread.

A huge "thank you" to Ian, Daniel and all the staff, too numerous to be named individually but greatly appreciated none the less, and we look forward to repeating the experience again one of these days. Thank you.

We have just spent 2 nights (Friday & Saturday) at this amazing hotel. It's so nice to stay at an independent hotel that has such high standards. The staff are friendly, attentive and really care about the guests. We loved our stay and will be back. To the chap looking after 40 chickens, you were great.

The quality of care from the staff was excellent. We were there this weekend for my birthday and felt very well looked after. Aesthetically the place has the warm, old england open fireplace vibe that really brings the place to life. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be coming here again. hopefully soon.

Once again we had the most amazing stay at this beautiful hotel. Our room had been recently decorated to a very high standard with every amenity one could wish for. As always the staff were friendly and most efficient, both in reception and the dining room. The food was of exceptional quality with a choice for everyone. We always so enjoy this jewel in the New Forest Crown. Well done Team Passford House!

Superb stay including outstanding massage treatment. The Passford House Hotel more than surpassed expectations. The building is a great example from the arts and crafts era. The food (we had breakfast, lunch and dinner) was excellent and they more than ably catered for my vegan diet. The staff constantly bent over backwards to ensure our stay was amazing and top it off, I had easily one of the best massages I have ever had with Heather. A stay at Passford House is highly, highly recommended. Five stars well earned indeed!
