The only fly in the ointment, and something that could not be helped was the noise from the road. As it was so hot at night we had to open all the windows, which meant more noise than otherwise there might have been.

The breakfast was great, well cooked and plentiful. The room was large with plenty of storage, very clean and smart. The location was excellent, with the High Street a few minutes walk away, but even better straight across the road was the New Forest with easy walks. The host, Marcus, was superb, friendly, helpful, knowledgable and chatty.

Second floor but help given with bag on arrival. Room very hot, however, fan provided on request. A min fridge would be nice so you can keep cold drinks.

Excellent location, nice large room, clean, quiet, easy to park and staff very friendly.

I’ve nothing negative to say.

The Forest Side Guesthouse is fabulous, both inside and out. My family and I stayed in the family room, which was spacious and very comfortable. We opted for the breakfast and were glad we did—the selection was excellent and beautifully served each morning by Maria, who greeted us with a smile and genuine interest in our plans for the day. The owner, Marcus, also introduced himself and offered some great tips on how to make the most of our time in the New Forest. A wonderful stay all around!

N/A We were happy with everything.

We were given a very large room with good facilities. The bed was extremely comfortable. There was plenty to choose for breakfast and we enjoyed all we ate. The location was good for us given that the rest of our family were staying near Brockenhurst. It was easily walkable to the centre of Lyndhurst to access shops and pubs. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hestitate to come back!

The room was spotlessly clean with all the facilities one could wish for. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious - a continental style buffet followed by whatever we wanted cooked to order. We cannot speak highly enough of our stay.

They should of serviced the room; I did leave a sign up. But I jut washed the glasses and cups myself. Catering staff should make themselves aware of allergies as the lady taking our breakfast order seemed baffled by veganism! Allergies can kill so this is key for all staff dealing with food.

Forestside is perfectly located for the New Forest area. Its close to nature, lots of walks, bike hire and places to eat. The two male hosts each day were friendly, professional and well informed of the area. Will definitely return!

Perfect. Lovely staff. Great breakfast to set us up. Enjoyed our room at the front - large room with little extra room with single bed, which was perfect for us. Perfect location opposite forest and quick walk to restaurants and shops. Looking forward to going again.

Great location near the forest, lovely room, friendly hosts and great breakfast

Black out blinds on the windows would be beneficial. A bowl of fruit salad or sliced fruit at breakfast would have been nice.

Comfortable and clean room. Stunning guest house with very tasteful decor and furnishings. Great location; close to the town and within easy reach of other places of interest. Super breakfasts. Perfect poached eggs. Friendly and personal service from staff at check-in and during breakfast.

Lovely guest house. Only need to cross the road to access the National Park. We received a very warm welcome on arrival. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The only fault, and not theirs, was the room was overlooking the main road, and was quite busy, even in the early hours. Being a very light sleeper I had to leave the window closed so as not to be disturbed Nice clean bathroom, and lovely fluffy towels😊 Breakfast was really good. with a good variety available. Staff that we met were very helpful and gave us advice on where to wander. Which we did, getting lost several times 🙈🙈, but finding our way back. Will definitely be back.

Room wasn't quite as good as advertised, bathroom could have done with a larger shower, no mini-bar as advertised and had to go and find our own towels on first day.

Fantastic location, easy walking distance to center of Lyndhurst and the rest of the New Forest. Breakfast was fantastic, staff extremely friendly.

The only thing I would recommend is perhaps a "frosted-film" be put on the bathroom window !!

Marcus was amazing from the first greeting to the departure. Breakfast was first class and the cleanliness of the entire venue was spotless

For such a big room, the shower was really small -tall people struggle in there! Room faced the main road so you could hear the constant traffic, but not enough to difficult our sleep. Parking is not very big so often we managed to get the last spot available (not sure if other guests ended up parking on the street after us).

We booked a room for 3 friends and were surprised to see that the single bed was separated from the main room, which gave us enough privacy (despite having to pass through it to get to the bathroom). There is a kettle and coffee machine in the room but no fridge (however they lend us one when we requested it). Staff was really accommodating for breakfast as some of us couldn't eat sweet food/drinks. We were also allowed to use the breakfast room to play some games in the evening.
