Pilgrim Inn Review

Excellent place, ambience, warmth. Very good cocktails Thanks for the experience

Well positioned near the New Forest. Large room, beautifully decorated. Would have liked a bath in the bathroom, but the shower was large and had good pressure. Staff were welcoming and extremely helpful. Breakfast was amazing with locally sourced produce and s good selection.

Friendly staff and a modest selection of who kept real ale. Although I didn't have any food the meals served around me looked generous.

Very good place to stay room nice and clean and food was good

Went for a big family lunch. Food was OK, and service was average.

Fabulous food. Great attention to detail, best arrival on the dressing table. Very attentive staff. Very good find.

Lovely little spot, always welcoming. Great food, if a bit on the pricey side.

Very good value, location for the Southampton Boat Show and lovely rooms.

Lovely looking thatched pub on the outside, was a quiet Sunday evening when we went, friendly service, but lots of tables had empty glasses and dinner plates not yet cleared away!

Would be 5 out of 5 if they fit 'soft close' smoke seals to the bedroom doors to stop them slamming.

Tue evening birthday get together . Food nice but two selections not available when order whent to kitchen . Vegan meal they put none vegan man on the meal. Service on slow side. The surroundings nice. But on this show will not be revisited

We went in August for a two night stay - hotel room lovely except for a couple of minor niggles (only one bedside light, a wall switch that kept falling off, and tea/coffee/biscuits facilities not replenished on second day). We opted to eat in the restaurant on our first night and it was nothing short of appalling! The service was rubbish, food inedible and wine stupidly expensive for a pub. Breakfast the next day was shocking!
Wouldn't bother again which is a shame as it was a beautiful pub/hotel in a stunning location.
Would love to have half an hour with the management as it really wouldn't take much to put right.

What a wonderful place. To me, the true epitome of an traditional English pub. Thatched roof, oak beams, clean and tidy, front and rear gardens, decent beer and fantastic sandwiches. A great place and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

What a place great atmosphere and superb food and service

Quite simply GORGEOUS - the service, the room, the food all i can say is gorgeous especially the Sunday Night deal.

Wonderful Buffett for our family get together lovely staff excellent food

Lovely thatched hotel block and a nice pub too. Food was good and a few pints of HSB or a G&T from the well stocked gin bar very welcome.

Pub is In lovely settings and a nice atmosphere inside, the gardens are well kept in peaceful surroundings, the drinks seemed very expensive all in all an nice pub.

We had a slight issues with the quality of the bathroom in our room. The Inn was fully booked and it was quite late in the day when we raised concerns (as I wasn't feeling well) so I did expect some resistance from management. However, the manager, Colum, was so professional and sorted the issue quickly without any complaints and kindly put us in another room. His service was exemplary hence the 5 star.

Breakfast was great but my only compaint was that the server sat us at the table, asked if we wanted a hot drink but never returned. After 15 mins, I went up to another server to ask whether it was table service or not and she quickly sorted us out, took our order etc.

The room was as expected and the complimentary beer and wine was a nice touch.

This was the first time I've been to an Inn and I hadn't appreciated that a 5* Inn wasn't quite the same as a 5* hotel. We were told that the bathrooms were due to be done up this year too - once they are sorted, I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Wonderful, helpful staff, amazing food & wonderful room . We had a fantastic stay .We will defiantly be coming back.

Beautiful location on the edge of the new forest with classic thatched roof and cottage style: low roof and wooden beams. good, friendly service. nice menu, a little on the expensive side but very tasty. highly recommend the desserts - these are great value for money. ale on tap but more limited choice of lager and cider. parking on site available.

We stayed for 3 nights and loved everything about. The room was clean, tidy, comfortable. The staff were all friendly and all made a special fuss of our pooch. I would definitely come back and stay again, and recommend to others.

We stayed for three nights in October with our West Highland Terrier. All of us were made to feel incredibly welcome and the staff accommodated any requests we had. Tom in particular is a credit to the pub and was friendly and helpful.
The pub is very dog friendly - our dog had a lot of fun meeting the staff and locals Dog treats, water, and towels are all readily available.
We'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a dog friendly hotel in the New Forest area.

Great food and amazing selection of beers to choose from. Polite staff. Also very nice to sit in the garden with a cider during the summer months.

I would have given 5 stars but sometimes the time it takes for food to arrive is longer then hoped. Makes popping for food in lunchtime tricky at times.

Good food pleasant surrounding drink average price

Lovely little hotel and pub. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay again in the future. the hotel is lovely and cosy and the food is nice in the pub. Breakfast is in the pub area and tasty.

My favourite pub. It's not cheap but you get quality. And always friendly people.

Lovely place. Great food. Rooms are fantastic. Great staff.

Table booked by my mother for a party of four for Saturday lunch. Phone lines were down after bad weather, but the staff responded straight away to email, and on arrival we were welcomed and shown straight to a table. The bar had a good selection of ale, lager and cider on tap at reasonable prices, plus others in bottles. The lunchtime menu, while not being overwhelmingly extensive, had a variety of locally inspired dishes that all sounded very tasty and looked great being delivered to neighbouring tables. We ordered, and didn't have to wait long for our food, which all tasted good. I had beer battered fish & chips, which was well cooked, with light crispy batter, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Desserts afterwards were of equally high standard, I settled on the apple & rhubarb crumble, receiving a generous portion accompanied by I ice-cream. All in, a very enjoyable lunch, at a very reasonable price, in lovely surroundings.

Nice pub with friendly staff. Breakfast was overpriced and disappointing though.

Over priced ! Lack of food on the plate , 19 for duck and 2 greens and potato never ever will I go back

Had a bad experience here unfortunately was my husbands birthdday the room looked lovely but it was really dirty

Lovely location, will presented rooms, excellent food and selection of beers, friendly and helpful staff, likely to be back next year

What a wonderful place
We had a great time and the rooms are very nice
The staff are very helpful.

I was shocked how bad this is for a 5 star hotel! I understand that the temperatures here are normally not as high as now, but you can't expect to sleep in a room without air conditioning. When we asked for a room that DOES have air conditioning, they said we should draw our plan with a fan. This doesn't help at all. You also get only 1 fan per room while the upstairs rooms do not need it because it is so extremely cold there thanks to their air conditioning. This was just the beginning ... The cupboard is broken. The toilet is also broken. Bad shower. Wifi falls away. Totally not worth the money!

Great place great location good food five star staff keep the good work up

The inn is in a georgous place in Marchwood. The food ok but could of served more chips and side salad. The staff were ok but not very smiley. My daughter was asked for a tip ??? How rude - atmosphere no not really! sorry a bit pricey

Lovely old pub, tasteful Christmas decorations, helpful staff, and huge portions of good food. Couldn't be much better.

My local, 5 stars all the way.
Great location, great company and great beers (Fullers)

Great pub and staff with a charging point for guest's vehicles. The vegetarian burger was a bit dry, but the chips were good. I imagine the other food is better.

The pub is hidden from the main road and appears to be in a village. It is, but situated right next to the bypass and sitting outside is too noisy. Inside is reasonable but bland and stuffy as no windows were open. Food was expensive but was reasonably tasty. The price of a Peroni was a shock and I guess reflects the only pub in the village status.

Warm and friendly staff and a menu to die for. The quality of the produce was excellent. Week with a visit.

Food was good and cane quickly, thought quite expensive for what it was, chips and batter on the fish were a bit over cooked and chickpea burger could have been hotter. Nice pub though, gorgeous building inside and out, friendly staff.

Comfortable room and tasty breakfast. Will return when next in the area

Helpful and lovely staff! The perfect country Inn and place to stay!

We had a very nice lunch in pleasant surroundings. The service was good and prices reasonable.

Stayed for 2 nights. The room was lovely and generous and well equipped. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the stay the food was excellent. Would most definitely rebook when back in the area.

Beautiful pub. Lovely and friendly atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the battered haddock chips and yummy tartare sauce and peas. Will return soon.

Great couple of days stay here. We stayed in an easy access room which was quite basic but huge! Food is standard pub grub really, brekkie was good.

The food was very good and good size portions. I had butternut squash and feta Wellington

A gorgeous place for lunch ,so pretty, and great food .

Terrible service certainly wouldnt go the extra mile not even the end of the bar rubnish place very disspointed used to be so good

Not to expensive apart from the food but lovely homly pub/restaurant

Still a well run establishment. Good food. Old beamed pub giving atmosphere and ambience

Very overpriced supposed to be a very nice place to eat but you will just pay more for the same food you get anywhere else. Not my cup of tea. There are a lot better places around.

Great lunch with my team from the Office good value.

A big improvement from a few years ago, great service, good food, reasonably priced.

Great place to stop for a fab lunch on your way to the new forest from London. Great ale too.

Excellent good and service. Polite staff and classy place

This is the first time I have had a meal there,
Yes will use again.

Stayed for one night and had a very pleasant stay. Rooms were clash with good tea facilities. My room had a lovely walk in shower and very comfortable bed. Easy access to the room. There was a little noise when other people used the water, but nothing bothersome at all. The pub itself had good beers on tap and a nice atmosphere. All in all, very happy there.

Ok...but used to be better before Fullers...now usual overmanaged Fullers restaurant....no character now

Limited menu. But like the serially abused, we keep coming back for more.
