Our stay at Balmer Lawn Hotel was enjoyable, especially for those who love the charm of the New Forest. The atmosphere was welcoming, and we appreciated the various facilities like the spa and nice dining options. While the room was quite comfortable, it did show some signs of age and could do with a refresh. The food was delightful, but I would have liked more options for vegans and vegetarians. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with minor areas for improvement.
