The room was perfect, lovely bathroom as well, however the hotel experienced a power outage overnight & therefore there was no hot water, lighting, no hot food for breakfast - and for whatever reason the toilets wouldn’t flush, which nobody seemed to realise. We had to pack the relative darkness looking for our belongings from the lights from our phones, and finding a way down the corridors in a huge sprawling hotel in the dark was quite tricky. I realise this is not exactly the hotels fault but they didn’t do anything to ease the process. Every room that morning was freezing. They didn’t light any of the fireplaces or provide any form of apologies. We left somewhat disappointed.

Many issues during our stay which is not cheap - we saved up for this as it was a huge dream to stay here and have left very disappointed.

Arrival - no one at the desk for 20 minutes to which someone was waiting to complain too which didn’t start us off great. It also made us nearly miss dinner due to this wait as a few people said it was too late to eat but thankfully one person let us though it was rushed because of this delay waiting.

Room was freezing when arrived and hat heater on full still cold.

Tap water wasn’t drinkable in the room - bits of black came out of tap when turned it on which shows not clean and tasted vile.

No vegan milk - though mentioned many times were very - although this was later rectified

The water in the bath wasnt hot at all we had to boil the kettle and use that to have a bath!

The first night we were woken very early by running and shouting in the corridors

Room was never cleaned after first night though left sign in door

second night we got a couple hours sleep as around 3am there was rackets and rackets of noise resulting in people shouting and swearing at the top of their voices in the corridors which went on for a long time and was impossible to get back to sleep. This happened outside our door so we were shut in yet the door was so thin it felt they could easily have come in felt insafe

The hotel needs a bit of TLC and upgrading. It was disappointing to have a bar with no beer or larger on tap! We were there in between Christmas and new year and told they only did beer on tap in the summer! The breakfast continental option was quite limited.

I don't normally leave reviews but I feel like I have to with this one. The manor is very run down. It's beyond me that this property should have 4 stars. It's beautiful from the outside and the staff is friendly but other than that it's a mess. The food was terrible and really poor value for what was served. The restaurant is fully lit with lights that will give you a headache. It feels like dining at an insane asylum to be honest. There was a foul smell in the rooms and hallways. There was a wedding going on at full volume and our room was right next to it. We had not been informed and frankly the blasting of the music ruined our weekend. We were kindly given another room once we couldn't take the noise anymore but at that point we had gone to bed and were forced to get dressed and pack up all of our things. It was meant to be a relaxing weekend away from the city but we came back exhausted.

All fur coat- No knickers!

Location is impressive and downstairs is nicely decorated.

First impression on reception was poor-It was utter chaos.
Team seemed confused by several bookings-not just ours.
We were asked if we wanted to book dinner and we said yes, when we arrived for our booking, the restaurant staff had no idea of booking which was embarrassing.
Dinner was ok but vastly overpriced- I spent £113 for 2courses and no drinks.
Service issues continued in the morning when the breakfast staff couldn’t find our booking, and then couldn’t tell us if we were allowed any cooked items, again nice and embarrassing. There was option to cook your own egg, staff didn’t how to use equipment.

Bedrooms were ok, bath was nice but furniture was faded and tatty- simply not worth the more luxury price tag of £466 for 2 rooms for 1 night (and this was on offer).

On a plus, cleaning staff were polite and friendly and hotel was clean overall.

Pros-
Location,setting,Deer on grounds, cleanliness, cleaning staff.

Cons-
Welcome to hotel, staff knowledge, service overall, overpriced.

Just basicaly run down and not mantained. Needs more money spent on the up keep. The service staff are doing a great job, the cooking staff are doing a 1st class job. The building is just crumbling away due to old age and neglect.

Booked two rooms for me and my mother as we were celebrating her 80th birthday the next day with an afternoon tea party in the hotel. Our rooms were at the top of a rickety flight of stairs and there is no lift. But worse than that the rooms were disgusting. I’d booked cozy doubles and one room had clearly been the site of a water leak. It smelled damp and the walls were stained and paper was hanging off the walls and ceiling. The other room was filthy with stains on the walls and cobwebs everywhere. Reception said they couldn’t do anything as the hotel was full. Let them know again in the morning and also by email and no one has got in touch so I want to warn others about this.

The Burley Manor is in a beautiful area, the vast New Forest national park is within a few minutes walk. Theres some lovely local eateries and shops within 5 minutes walk from the front door. Everything is very clean, you can tell they have high standards for housekeeping. the staff are faultless. They are so welcoming and helpful. My only minor improvement would be that parts of it need updating, the carpets leading upstairs in the main building don’t look so good. And the fittings are a bit old (not old style-old) so if you are someone who needs modern fittings then you need to see if they have rooms with that. It may well be the case that newer rooms are different. The outdoor pool was lovely in the afternoon sun, it’s not big enough to swim lengths but it’s perfect for relaxing in after a Spa treatment!
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. Thank-you Burley Manor for a wonderful weekend :)

Nice hotel. Awful meals

The hotel and the staff are really nice but unfortunately the experience of staying at such a nice hotel was ruined by the standard of the food. The meals and drinks were expensive (£120 for 3 courses with a glass of wine each) which would be acceptable for a hotel of this status but the meals (mainly the main course’s) were not very good at all. My dauphinoise potatoes were nothing like what I know dauphinoise potatoes to be… I’ve even googled it in case I’m ignorant of a specific dish. My partner had plaice which was so thin there was hardly any meat. We were both so hungry as our main didn’t fill us that we had the dessert as well. We don’t normally have 3 courses but just one, however we were both still so hungry, we went back to the room to eat our complimentary biscuits. I would recommend anyone staying here should just eat at one of the local pubs! Don’t waste your money on a poor standard of meal.

A Beautiful Hotel let down by it's food!!!!

The Hotel and. Rooms were faultless and the staff could not be more friendly or helpful.

As someone that stays in a lot of hotels 80+ per year.
My only criticism would be the menu is quite limited and side orders are very expensive £5 for 3 small flat mushrooms and £5 for a small portion of fries.. however the rump steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing.
My main issue was the breakfast charged at £17 per head.
It was disgusting, to the point of inedible, and had I not been in a rush, I would have certainly sent it back.
1 sausage that looked uncooked or had been cooked in a microwave.
1rasher of streaky bacon, again nearly cooked.
1 rasher of back bacon again only nearly cooked
1 soggy hash brown
And the smallest portion of scrambled eggs I have ever seen.
Like 1 egg small.
All in all the food was expensive even by hotel standards and the menu limited.
Would definitely stay here again, but not eat here.

Nice hotel but take earplugs!

Nice hotel, a little shabby around the edges in places but nothing serious, just an old building. Room was lovely, overlooking gardens, bathroom was great, lovely a spacious, bed was comfy and huge. Breakfast was delicious and drinks at the bar were good but expensive. Two things let it down for me, one the soundproofing between rooms was shocking, the people in the room next to us were not being overly loud but we could hear them all night. It's not the hotel's fault that they talked and laughed all night, literally all night, but it did not make for a relaxing stay. Other thing was the availability of general items at breakfast, no yoghurt, no pastries, no bread, no glasses for juice. The cooked breakfast that was ordered was delicious but sometimes you want a slice of toast too! Considering everyone is asked what time they would like to have breakfast, it was disappointing that they weren't more prepared. Otherwise it was a nice place

It was better than anticipated as didn’t have huge expectations from reading previous reviews. The public rooms were cosy and breakfast had enough options. I did ask for well cooked poached eggs but they were runny so I couldn’t eat them. The Wifi didn’t work in my room on any of my devices so that was disappointing. Hopefully they will paint the window trim and fix some of the wear and tear in the bathroom to make it more appealing.

good and nice location

very nice. lovely location. Comfortable rooms - we had one Classic overlooking deer park and one of the small doubles. Both were fine. Good breakfast. Dinner menu wasn't to our liking but that was just personal. We ate in the village and that was fine.

Just a beautiful property with the deer park in front and village close by with a couple of pubs. Eating at the hotel was really good and all staff friendly. Loved the giant bed and views.

Nice hotel for a short stay

Overall our stay was nice. Positives: Atmosphere / interior design, surrounding green grounds with deer and horses, good location with easy access to many places in New Forest, the lovely dome dinner experience (well heated, nice food and service, romantic setting). Could be improved: The reception staff wasn't friendly / polite, the building is old so no sound proofing (we woke up to noise from upstairs).

Absolutely lovely place to stay in the New Forest, the pictures I don't think do justice to how lovely it looks. It is in a great location for walks and some nice pubs on the village of around 10 minutes or so. Service was great all staff were friendly, polite and attentive.

Disappointed by the breakfast m

The hotel staff were very friendly and the deluxe double room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were immaculate and we had a nice view of the deer park. We thought the breakfast was not up to the standard we enjoyed a few years previously.

A delight

The main building and its location are absolutely stunning. In the middle of a park, with deers walking around. It’s simply magical. Nice suite with a beautiful view, friendly staff, excellent food. I definitely recommend.

Proper country house

Perfectly situated real country house hotel which has been stylishly yet sympathetically restored. Excellent staff and good food. The only gripe was the empty fireplaces where one would expect roaring fires in late October

Good food in the evening and good service. Due to Covid breakfast wasn’t available at a time that was suitable.
