Absolutely lovely oasis of tranquility in the New Forest. We took our small dog and everything was catered for from bowls and towels in the room to a washing station and poo bags.
Staff were amazing, busy but always helpful and chatty. Food was top notch, as were the cocktails and a lovely breakfast.

We loved our stay here. We’d come to run a local half marathon and the staff went out of their way to ensure we could have an earlier breakfast than the usual times. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy but so cute and had all we needed. The beds were comfy with lovely bedding. We’d definitely return and recommend to others.

Throughout our stay, the staff were friendly, approachable and very accommodating. The catering was incredible. All our meals were delicious, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Importantly, the staff were attentive regarding allergies. We really enjoyed our stay and will no doubt return in the future.

Lovely hotel and room, everything has been thought of. Fresh milk for the room easily available and Nespresso machine.
My only gripe would be that is wasnt particularly laid out on entry as user friendly. Lots of signs advertising events but nothing obvious to point where to go for the reception to check in or bar etc but we figured it out eventually. I imagine it would be more obvious in busier months and desk would be attended more.

Lovely room and stay in this charming place. Food was great too. We were in room 1, which was great. Luckily though I have ear plugs as without them my sleep would have been disturbed as it is next to the ventilation extraction from the kitchen, which was a little noisy. Maybe supplying ear plugs would be a good idea?

Away from it all

We had a fabulous time at the White Buck. It was nestled in the middle of the New Forest , with ponies everywhere. The building is full of character and our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was good. We are in the restaurant on both nights and the food and presentation was excellent . Will definitely stay here again.

Needs some TLC

We stayed in a cosy room which was definitely snug. As we were at the top it meant that the room was boiling hot during the night.
The cleanliness wasnt that great as the toilet wasnt cleaned before we checked in, the table was all stained from tea/coffee rings and there was a dead wasp on the sill that wasnt cleared away the whole time we were there.
However it is a pet friendly place so would work well if you have a pet (we did not!)

The White Buck was our first Fullers managed hotel and we were impressed with the service provided. Our reception host, Jenni, was attentive and helpful. We were placed in one of the external rooms which was fine, quiet and spacious. Food in the restaurant was a good standard, traditional modern pub food. We really liked the surrounding area and would certainly chose to start at The White Buck when we return.

The White Buck, Burley, Hampshire

Enjoyed a weekend break at The White Buck. Beautiful building, Lovely bedroom, bar/restaurant offering breakfast/lunch and dinner. There are also events that take place throughout the year.

The White Buck is located in Burley, in the New Forest, Hampshire. Ideally placed for both Hampshire/Dorset coastline, and lots of picturesque villages and towns for sightseeing. Don't forget the New Forest ponies!

Handy base if you want to get the ferry from either Lymington or Southampton to the Isle of Wight.

The hotel is lovely and so is the pub garden and location. What spoilt it for us were the attitude of the senior staff on both the Saturday and Sunday. On two occasions we were over charged for someone else’s drinks and on both occasions we were made to feel like we were trying to get out of paying for a round of drinks when we had either paid already (and showed them the receipts for) or someone else’s drinks had been allowed to be added to our room. Spoilt what was supposed to be a birthday weekend

We had a lovely stay here. So Christmassy but even other times of year so cosy felt homely. Reception was very welcoming room was decorated lovely and really felt like a retreat away from it all. Fires and Christmas trees . We ate in the restaurant and all the food was hot and delicious. Location was very central for village visits and walks it was tough to choose whether to go out for walks or just stay in the hotel and relax. We are already planning our next trip back

Amazing dog friendly stay in the New Forest

We had a wonderful time at this inn, I was amazed by various little touches and extra steps the staff go through vs. a regular hotel chain hotel.

It's not just dog friendly, it's fully set up and incredibly attentive to dog needs.

The location was perfectly central to the New Forest and a nice short walk from Burley Village, beautiful location and excellent stay. Pub food was lovely, higher-than-normal-end dining, but poor value for money in terms of portion sizes.

Room, breakfast excellent. Dinner not at all.

The room was excellent in every way. The breakfast was very, very good. The dinner, unfortunately, was not. They brought the wrong order and by the time they had corrected that the other order was cold and unappetizing. They apologized but did not make any effort to compensate in any way. They marred our 45th anniversary dinner.

Hotel was very comfortable. We stayed in a junior suite which was amazing - huge comfy bed, impressive bathroom with huge bath tub, very comfortable and quiet. Could not have been better.

The big downside was the food in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast on our first day was bad - the portions were tiny (eg 1/2 a small mushroom was ‘mushrooms, and tofu enough for a baby was served as an adult portion. Chef also seemed to struggle to cook a poached egg so it was runny and didn’t taste of vinegar. Really disappointing. Dinner related better but was so over priced - £16.95 for an average vegan burger and chips was poor value.

On balance we’d certainly stay there again but we’d make plans to eat elsewhere.

Beautiful setting, nice, comfortable room. We arrived on a Sunday and were not able to check in immediately. Nearly missed out on dinner as service ended at 8pm. Central heating was described in the room information book as “temperamental” and it did indeed stop working, although there was a little electrical heater. Breakfast was lovely. Overall a pleasant stay but they need to fix CH and also improve the check in and some aspects of customer service.

Great stay

We stayed for two nights and we had a lovely time. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was lovely and comfortable. Although there was building work around the grounds we hardly heard it and it did not impact on our stay. The food was delicious for breakfast and dinner. Definitely will recommend to friends and family.

Lovely stay

Very nice hotel which, with a few tweaks would make it even better. Interiors were clean and seemed to offer good COVID precautions. Meals were good. Outside the windows could do with a good clean.

Staff were super friendly which was nice. The hotel is undoubtedly overpriced but one must remember that it is situated in a prime position within the New Forest National Park.

Great character hotel. Excellent staff and service in all areas. Just a shame it was a bit tired and there were far too many cobwebs in the room and public areas for me to call it clean

Exceeded expectations.

Overall a great stay, this place really did exceed our expectations, the check in was quick and efficient, great staff and service

The room was well laid out and well stocked with tea and coffee, along with great toiletries. Bathroom was spotless and great condition. Ben was very comfy and we had a great nights sleep.

We dined in the restaurant a number of times, breakfast was always good, so was lunch and dinner.

Overall a great place in a fantastic area, we shall be visiting again.

We have stayed in this Hotel probably 8 times over the years but this was the first time we have stayed out in the rear annex, the room itself was ok but was primarily for disabled access and we had deliveries every morning before 8 am which was 3 ft from our window, not good 😡

review

The room was very small. Needs to be decorated. Also didn’t sleep very well. The restaurant we had dinner was disappointed as we had to return one of the main meals which was a steak and it didn’t come back in time so we had to cancel .

Exceptional food, very disappointing bedroom

Restaurant staff were lovely, service usually excellent and food delicious throughout.
The environment was absolutely beautiful.
Unfortunately, our bedroom (no. 17) and bathroom were very disappointing. It was spacious but very humid and cold to point that towels never dried during the 2.5 days we were there, and this despite the hot summer weather. There was no wardrobe, only coat hooks but no hangers. The wndow's blind didn't open and the French window overlooked the car park and bins. It was not worth £180 a night.
