convenient, clean, roomy hotel

Great location in easy walking distance to the main street shopping and restaurants. Our room was spacious and clean. We were on road side so did have the traffic noise, which is no fault of the hotel, our friend had a back facing room which was quiet, so suggest if you don't like traffic noise ask for a quieter room - we were happy with our room. Breakfast was excellent

A super little Hotel

This was a great value Hotel and we will have no hesitation in booking again. Nothing elaborate and in a fairly old building, this hotel offered everything you will need. The stairs to our room at the top were steep but the bed was comfortable, the shower hot and the towels large and fluffy. Tea and coffee with a kettle were in the room. The breakfast included was really lovely. Full English with extras included. The town was in walking distance with pubs, shops, restaurants and an excellent Fish and Chip take away or eat in which we thoroughly enjoyed. The New Forest was on the doorstep. A great position for access to all we wanted. We will definitely be booking again when we next visit the area.

We’ve stayed at The Penny Farthing before. The place is basic, very clean and welcoming. It is ideally situated for walking into Lyndhurst & travelling to other parts of The New Forest. All staff we’ve met during both stays have been welcoming and friendly.

Lovely Lyndhurst

Hotel was perfectly situated for days out in the New Forest, 20 min drive to the sea, (Highcliff) and Beauieu Motor Museum, large room and Breakfast excellent. The village of Lyndhurst had excellent amenities and would recommend Dolce Vita for dinner, lovely true Italian restaurant , food excellent and price good value. The chippy was good too - will come back to the hotel and Lyndhurst we had a lovely break.

The hotel was good. Nice and convenient to shops at Lyndhurst. Quaint with the focus on all forms of cycling. Room was excellent -- only downside is the narrow, steep stairway to the first floor and the associated challenge with getting bags up and down,

The family room was nice, although the one blind did not keep the light out, the bed was very creaky whenever we moved, traffic going past was making the bed rattle, The taps were really hard to turn off, which left the water dripping. Breakfast was nice

The room was a nice size single, temperature was comfortable (they also provided me with a fan), bathroom was a good size and clean, shower was powerful, windows that opened, tv which had Netflix etc, little bit noisy from the road but that couldn’t be helped with the location, staff were lovely, check in was easy, plenty of parking, great location to walk into Lyndhurst. The only thing that let it down for me was the entrance to the room (which is at the top of the stairs) isn’t very well insulated and I could hear every conversation and door slam of people walking past and unfortunately when I stayed I was woken up at around 5, so I suggest earplugs if you are a light sleeper, but other than that overall a good stay. Nice breakfast too.
