"Beautiful hotel in the New Forest, surrounded by forests and full of beautiful flowers. Our room was lovely, clean and had everything we needed and more. Gorgeous amenities, lovely gowns and slippers with some very thoughtful little free gifts. The restaurant was lovely, good food, with a nice choice for breakfast, and helpful friendly staff. Unfortunately we only had one night but would definitely book for longer."

"The restaurant offers an excellent variety of vegan options alongside its traditional pub fare. We chose the mushroom and ale pie, which was fantastic. However, the seasonal vegetables that came with it were lacking and did not include the maple roasted carrots that were promised. Additionally, the portion of roast potatoes was disappointing compared to the serving of chips."

"... a pity about the service. The restaurant wasn 't overly busy. Plenty of available tables. We chose to sit outside and after checking we were told it was table service. Eventually someone came out after a 15-20 minute wait and took our order. Turns out there was a couple behind us who 'd been waiting for 30 minutes... When the food came we were asked if we wanted cutlery. Said no but suggested having our drinks would be nice.... ' What did you order? ' Drinks brought to us.... no sugars offered. Eating panini 's? No napkins. Think there were only 2 staff working and all seemed very chaotic. When asking for the bill, the waitress said she was going to get the card machine and we never saw her again. At the risk of running out of parking, we ended up going inside to pay rather than wait. We don 't mind doing that. What we mind is being told they 'll come to us and then not appearing. Although the food tasted nice, a lack of good customer service unfortunately overrules and therefore it 's questionable whether we 'd go back."

"Burley Manor has a lovely setting and great views outside and inside the restaurant. We went for Sunday lunch and the food was generally good but they didn't get some details right. The bread accompanying the terrine and potted salmon starters was so thin and crispy that it was quite difficult to eat. Some of the vegetables and Yorkshire puds were burnt. The desserts had creme fraiche added instead of clotted cream and had to be sent back, at which point the waitress came over repeatedly to ask why we had sent the food back and what we actually wanted, rather than apologising and sorting the problem. It looked like a good value meal, but won't be going back."

"Burley Manor is set in an idyllic spot and has the potential to provide exceptional hospitality in amazing historic surroundings, the grounds are beautiful. That 's where the praise ends I 'm afraid. We are local so booked lunch as a midweek treat away from the stresses of a busy week. On arrival we waited a while to be seated as there was no one at the restaurant reception point. We chose a table in the dining room where only 2 other tables were occupied so there was no ambiance, unfortunately the table was very wobbly and the chairs stained and dirty so we moved, chairs were equally stained at the new table which didn 't bode well. We ordered drinks and food and the drinks came quickly and with pleasant service. We waited a further 40 minutes and then the waiter came over and apologised and said the kitchen was busy so there would be a further 20 to 25 minute wait, this concerned us as the dining room had only 4 tables occupied including ours and two of those tables had been served before we arrived, the remaining table arrived and ordered long after us . After a further 15 minutes she came and said that it would be a further 10 to 15 minutes. At this point we were running out of time, we asked how 2 very simple dishes that could be cooked in minutes could possibly take so long, even if they had only started cooking them when we were informed of the delay. The waitress was clearly embarassed and couldnt give an answer except to say that was what the chef had told her. My daughter asked her to tell the truth about what was really happening and why there was such a delay ,she then admitted our order had been missed in the kitchen. When the food came one dish was totally inedible, a flatbread described as Cypriot halloumi cheese fire roasted red peppers, smoked chilli jam arrived totally covered in rocket which was not as described(the diner hates it , she cut into the bread and the middle was just raw dough, the flatbread had not been kneaded or cooked properly and was floury, doughy and raw. It was studded with large numbers of huge chunks of raw garlic which was also not on the description. A different waiter took one look at it and said that was not how it should be at all and that there would be no charge for the meals as it was clearly not right. It almost felt like a punishment for being unhappy about the delay! A dish described as Spinach wrap, shawarma spiced chicken pumpkin, wild rocket, sumac, honey, yoghurt dressing was nothing of the sort, yes it was a spinach wrap but it contained tasteless plain pan fried chicken pieces (no spices or seasoning whatsoever and definitely not shawarma! with spinach leaves (not rocket pumpkin seeds (not pumpkin and about half a teaspoon of yoghurt in tiny spots on the wrap. The house fries were supposed to have paprika and truffle salt but were totally unseasoned. The whole experience was most unpleasant and not to be repeated. Such a shame as in the past this was a special place to me for lunch and I had been looking forward to visiting."
