Breakfast was great, lots of options. The room was also good with an en suite bathroom and it was pretty quiet for a pub. Good beer too.

Lighting in bathroom very poor so couldn't see to do make-up. Mirror in bedroom difficult to get to (above mantelpiece at side of bed) and dressing table mirror too low. Oat milk at breakfast a bit curled.

Breakfast was great. A good choice offered to us, with flexible options.

Nothing

My initial impressions were the pub was a little tired and full of locals but my room was great and everyone was very friendly! The food was delicious and my room had everything I needed to enjoy my stay at a very central location in the town. Good value for money at todays prices.

We had trouble with the lock on our door, but it was sorted out . The lack of car parking for guests, we had to pay in the normal car park, I believe the pub took out parking spaces to make the garden bigger.

Warm welcome, Jason carried my suitcase up the stairs, food was very nice and plentiful, staff were very friendly, the room was large so plenty of space. Nice comfy beds, bath with shower, who doesn't like a bath?

The interior of the Inn was tired, the staff uniforms shabby. My room was pleasant but the price was too much for the standard overall. i think £70 was the maximum I would have paid. It was the only place on your list actually in Fording bridge as I don't drive needed to be near St Mary's church . For the funeral I was attending on 12th June at 13:00 . Check out was 10:30 which I did for my room I requested that I could stay in the lounge until 12:00 as it was forecast heavy rain .They said no . Thought that was a little mean of them given the circumstances of my request. That's why I scored them lower. Good customer service is sometimes going that bit extra for reasonable requests. I think next time the opportunity to pay at accommodation I will do that . As discovered the pub next door did B&B and looked so much nicer

Despite being disappointed about the interiior of the Ship Inn , the staff were very welcoming and the service was good. They had catered for my diet too. The Senior menu had a good choice off the main menu and was very good value for money.

Sadly, kitchen closed at 2pm so we couldn’t lunch there, but there were other restaurants in town. We did have dinner there and it was very good. The Wifi wasn’t great but that didn’t really affect us very much.

It was easily accessible, right on n the Avon Valley Path so we didn’t have to go off trail to find it. Breakfast was very good too. They have a bookcase full of books if you have time to read.

The breakfast was great and staff superb. Location good but no parking although public park nearby meant had to go out before breakfast and put ticket on the car.

Very friendly staff. Nothing too much trouble

The village itself is a bit underwhelming although it’s easy access back into the New Forest. Room is a little small but fine.

Nice classic English pub stay. Parking is manageable behind the pub; there are spots to move the car to in the morning nearby… just for a while. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff were friendly.

Can't really fault anything but if there was an improvement would probably say the room decor is a bit outdated

Staff were really friendly and helpful, willing to accommodate requests. They were happy to have our friend join for breakfast who was not staying in the hotel

It would have been nice if parking could have been included with the booking as you had to remember to pay at 8am each morning

Full English breakfast was offered along with continental. Food was excellent and location was in the centre of town with lots of pay and display parking
