Reviews for Temple Lodge
Review 1：Only thing I would say is it is situated on a busy road, so if traffic noise bothers you - ask for a room at the rear or side.
Review 2：Temple Lodge was friendly and welcoming. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and well located. Breakfast was good too.
Review 3：Bed was a little firm for my partner and there was also a noisy water tank/boiler in the bathroom, which was disappointing given that money was paid for a Superior room.
Review 4：Good location which is close to trails and only 5/10 minutes out of town. Lovely customised breakfast and a friendly couple who run it. Superior bedroom was well-furnished although the TV was a tad on the small side.
Review 5：Unfortunately, there were some road works taking place in the middle of our first night which were very noisy but nobody's fault
Review 6：Location, friendly hosts and great breakfasts
Review 7：Nothing negative if you are looking for a quality, traditional British B&B.
Review 8：Clean, decent B&B walking distance from one of the largest towns in the New Forest, with friendly owners.
Review 9：We had a wonderful warm welcome by our hosts. The room was perfect for 2 adults and 1 child of 13. The location was excellent for riding in the New Forest, and within easy walk of the restaurants in Lyndhurst (thank you for the recommendations). Breakfast couldn't have been better accommodating our requests. Thank you for an enjoyable stay, we would highly recommend this B&B.
Review 10：No bad experience
Review 11：Lovely b & b room very clean and comfortable. Host very friendly and helpful with where to visit etc. Breakfast not to be missed. Compliments to the chef
Review 12：The bedroom was very small, made use of the lounge downstairs each evening. This made up for a small bedroom.
Review 13：Breakfast was fantastic. Use of residents lounge.
Review 14：The only minor improvement which could be made is that when showering the shower tray did not drain very efficiently.
Review 15：Very friendly and helpful reception upon our arrival. Room was excellent and location ideal.
Review 16：Decorated and maintained to a high standard, and run by a most friendly and pleasant couple. Our room was at the front on the first floor and was spacious, clean and welcoming. Bed was large and very comfortable. Full English breakfast cooked to order with nice selection of fruit salad and cereals to choose from. Just a few 100 years to the center of Lyndhurst town. Will certainly look to stay again next time in the area.
Review 17：Nothing.Would recommend and visit again.
Review 18：Owners very friendly and helpful.Advised us where to eat and about the area as it was our first time in the New Forest.Excellent breakfast with good choice.Very good location.
Review 19：welcoming hosts, comfortable room, great location - we had a lovely weekend exploring the New Forest and surrounding area. Fabulous breakfast set us up for the day !
Review 20：fabulous hosts, there when you wanted them (e.g. extensive local knowledge- where to eat -where to visit.) but not "in your face" all the time.
Review 21：Lovely room, excellent little mini bar facility, safe location for our bikes, fantastic breakfast, good tea and coffee facilities , excellent location.
Review 22：The friendliness, comfort, food, cleanliness(too many to mention) in fact everything was perfect. There was nothing to fault, best b & b I have stayed in.Mike and Teresa were brilliant wonderful hosts
Review 23：Teresa and Mike were warm, friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. Room and bathroom were comfortable and spacious, with plenty of storage and lovely views - and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious - fresh and good quality ingredients.
Review 24：Welcoming & friendly hosts. Great breakfast. Ideally located to explore local area and walking distance to Lyndhurst town for pubs & restaurants
Review 25：Not necessarily a negative but it's a shame dogs are not allowed.
Review 26：Amazing breakfast and Mike and Teresa were great - gave us restaurant recommendations and told us where to hire bikes. They can't do enough for you.
Review 27：Thankyou Cynthia and Fred for such a warm and friendly welcome. Such a relaxing stay, with great service in immaculately clean and comfortable guest house.
Review 28：Our room was immaculate and comfy.. great in every way tho perhaps we could have been warned the traffic was a little noisy at times which meant we had to close windows at night
Review 29：Great location right opposite a pleasant open heathland and five mins from the town.
Review 30：Room was very warm and as on main road could not have the window open. Would have been good to have option of lighter quilt.
Review 31：Very friendly staff, comfortable room and great location.
Review 32：On booking I was led to believe that we would have forest views but didn't and also had the boiler in the bathroom firing up every time someone used hot water and booking a superior room( most expensive ) you wouldn't expect that.
Review 33：Friendly people absolutely gorgeous surroundings
Review 34：From the moment we arrived, we felt completely comfortable at the Temple Lodge, and throughout our stay, were treated with nothing but the best facilities and importance from the owners. Great job!
Review 35：Leaving...
Review 36：Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Travel and dining recommendations gratefully received being our first visit to the area. The guest house is very smart and our room was large with modern en suite facilities. Lyndhurst centre is a short walk away. We will definitely return.
Review 37：We liked everthing about Temple Lodge.From the moment we walked through the door the warm welcome we received was fantastic and so it continued throughout our stay.Nothing was to much trouble for Mike and Tereasa.and the breakfast was amazing.The rooms are very tastefully decorated and very comfortable.And when we return to Lyndhust we would not bother to look any further than Temple Lodge.
Review 38：One of the best b&b's we have ever stayed - if you book you will see why. Cleanliness Comfort Friendly and welcoming Outstanding decorative order Good breakfast
Review 39：The attitude of the male owner towards cyclists - he does not like them and made it very clear. He succeeded in making us feel very unwelcome.
Review 40：Immaculate rooms, very clean and lovely food for breakfast
Review 41：Beautiful and large room overlooked a busy and noisy highway...a bit tough to sleep at night due to that.
Review 42：Pictures don't do it justice...excellent facilities and a very beautiful home...everything was first rate including breakfast!
Review 43：I didn't stay long enough!
Review 44：Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Provided very helpful information about the local area and places to eat and visit. Breakfast was delicious.
Review 45：Traffic from the main road, the A35, might disturb your sleep if you're a light sleeper and therefore maybe request a room at the rear.
Review 46：Only stayed one night in late August, but the location is very convenient for Lyndhurst's main streets. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, the superior double room was very comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was delicious.
Review 47：Wifi slightly intermittant (though we didn't mention this to owners) as it wasn't bothering us too much
Review 48：Fabulous cooked full english breakfast made with good quality local ingredients Very comfortable beds afforded us excellent nights sleep Just a short walk into charming Lyndhurst with plenty of restaurants / cafes to choose from. Plenty of walks / cycle trails / activities right from the doorstep meant we could enjoy a relaxing break even without a car. Mike and Teresa were excellent and attentive hosts, always on hand to offer advice and suggestions
Review 49：No real problems. The wifi was a bit problematic in the room but this was a small issue.
Review 50：The decor was to a very high standard. The owners were extremely helpful and very well organised. The location was excellent. Breakfast was very good. Will certainly go back if we visit the New Forest again. Would have no hesitation in recommending the accommodation to friends and family.
Review 51：We were only there for one night so for us it was the stipulation that you cannot arrive before 5, and we had a set time for breakfast (which was a bit early), and having to leave by 10. For £105 it would be nice to be able to have a bit more time to relax and enjoy.
Review 52：The house and our room was beautifully presented and there was plenty of tea/coffee/milk provided (often very limited in hotels!). Very clean and comfortable. Mike and Teresa were friendly and helpful with information and suggested a few places to eat (really enjoyed the Waterloo Arms!).
Review 53：Only a minor point - with the warm night causing us to have windows ajar, the early morning traffic as the front might disturb a light sleeper.
Review 54：The welcome from owners Mike and Teresa, a lovely, clean, spacious and most comfortable room, (Superior Double) and a location just a few minutes from Lyndhurst centre, and a great base for exploring the New Forest. Oh, the freshly cooked breakfast too! All round excellent.
Review 55：Extremely nice and comfortable room. Very clean. Hosts very friendly and eager to help, gave good advice how and what to do in New Forest. Excellent breakfast.
Review 56：Nothing to dislike.
