Overview
Stanwell House Hotel is an 18th-century former finishing school on Lymington's high street, half a mile from the New Forest National Park. The town has a wealth of history -- it was once a honeypot for smugglers looking to hoard contraband in nearby caves, and its Saturday markethas been running for over 765 years. Today, there's a multitude of white masts in the marina, and the "utterly quaint"(Lonely Planet) cobbled lanes are lined with independent shops.
The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, which has a collection of more than 250 classic cars and motorcycles, is a 15-minute drive away; Buckler's Hard Maritime Museum is 10 minutes' drive from there. Southampton and Lyndhurst are less than 30 minutes' drive from the hotel.
Dinner is served in either the 2-AA-Rosette Etain restaurant or the "intimate" (The AA) Burcher & Co restaurant (subject to opening times and availability; the tasting menu is the same in both restaurants). The Drydock bar offers 25 different gins and a selection of wines, and there's also a cocktail and malt whisky menu.
Garden rooms are in a modern extension at the rear of the hotel, while Georgian rooms are in the oldest part of the main building. Dogs can stay in some ground-floor Garden rooms for an extra £15 per dog, per night. Note: The property is a listed building so there is no lift.

The room we had was very tired with nowhere to place items and no seat other than an uncomfortable window seat. The bathroom fittings were damaged and the shower was not fully cleaned. The light pull cord for the bathroom hung over the WC and you could easily hit your head or face which could be a problem as it was a heavy metal brass weight. The directions to the car park were not very clear.

Bathroom basic and poor quality, couldn’t check in at 2 as stated on voucher. Car park not with hotel or signposted so had to pay just to go to hotel and find out where there car park was but then no space either. Tasting menu not very appealing although cooked well. Not meat included.

The taster menu was not very special out of 5 courses 2 were fish as was the main course so if you were not very fond of fish not good !
The food was actually quite bland and not very flavoursome, watery soup , pickled mackerel out of a jar and what can only be described as a chunk of black pudding as a course.
Food was very disappointing.
Rooms were ok, clean but a little worn and dated.
As hotel on high street parking was not easy and had to pay.

Specifically asked for ground floor flat as my mother is 89 and unable to climb stairs.
This was not passed on to the hotel by Travelzoo and, as a consequence, a ground room was not allocated and they couldn't change it. At 6.00pm that evening I had to ring around and find other accommodation.
The people at Stanwell House were very nice and apologetic but advised my message was not passed on.
Very hard to select your options above as we were unable to stay.

Parking is a bit of a nightmare..they should be more specific with directions as the car park is on the other side of the road. The spaces for the hotel are very limited and cramped..if you have to pay and display in the long term public car park the hotel should refund the fee.

Room was rather too hot, as sun had been streaming in all afternoon. This could easily be solved by asking staff to drawing the curtains when the room is cleaned. We would also have liked more power points, so that we didn't have to search behind furniture to charge our phones. They should be at table height.

Nice old place, great location, very friendly and helpful staff. The 'Tasting Menu' food was lovely (although choosing a Black Pudding dish as one course was always likely to generate a lot of requests for something different!).

Room décor getting tired, mattress old and too soft. We were in one of the original rooms on the front, OK size but just needs a bit of updating perhaps? VFM fine with this deal, but I would find it over-priced at the normal rate.

The TV in the room wasn't usable due to excessive interference that was spooling the picture quality. The shower head was in need of descaling. Service at breakfast was so slow, we had to remind the waitress of our order. It was about 30 minutes between order and the food arriving, and when it did it was warm at best. When checking out the receptionist asked if everything was okay. The perceived shortcomings were outlined, but there was no offer of any compensation, just a sorry.

We did encounter a problem on the second night of our stay, the tasting menu for the second night was exactly the same as the first night's tasting menu with the exception of a change of soup and a different fish as main. This was extremely disappointing and when I queried this they did change the dessert and one other dish, but the Gish although different from the first night was cooked in the same sauce with same vegetables and mine was raw and to be sent back. When we were checking out and asked if we had enjoyed our stay I did point this out and the receptionist informed me that we should have been offered the normal set menu if we did not to eat the same tasting menu twice. This was not offered by the waiting staff who obviously were not aware and their was no manager in charge as far as we could tell.
