Lovely little b&b set within a large peaceful garden, and the village on your doorstep. Pauline and Mike were wonderful hosts, and the breakfast was perfect each morning. I would highly recommend Meerut. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

29th October 2023:

Fantastic place - highly recommended. Pauline and Mike are great hosts, warm and welcoming, and the place full of nice little touches to make your stay easy and enjoyable. The breakfast was particularly good, with a huge selection of very high quality food (lots of it locally-sourced), and every item cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are perfect, but you can order more if you want a bigger plate. The village is lovely and the New Forest is spectacular - first time I’d visited either. Can’t fault this place at all!

Would Recommend: Yes

28th October 2023:

Pauline & Mike are a fab couple so welcoming and friendly. They can’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble! If you need anything you only have to ask. Our room was lovely with a lovely view of the garden, our own en suite bathroom and easy access to the utility room with washing machine, fridge, freezer, microwave etc. Breakfast cooked every day was so nice and plenty of it, set us up for the day! There would only be one reason I wouldn’t recommend it and that’s in case my friends got to stay there and i couldn’t get in!! 😂 Thank you both for a lovely stay and if we get the chance we’ll defo come back!!

Do read Pauline and Mike’s directions as we got there and couldn’t find their road at first, it’s easy to miss. However, when I read their instructions we found it easily. Sat nav’s take you into the car park next door!! There’s plenty to see, and do, in the area and surrounding villages, and the forest is beautiful! I would suggest you don’t travel as fast as the 40mph speed limit as the ponies, donkeys, cows and the odd few pigs do have a habit of suddenly changing direction and can walk out in front of you, please be aware and drive carefully!

Would Recommend: Yes

24th October 2023:

Pauline and Mike are perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly. Everything was thought of to make you feel at home. Will definitely recommend to anyone travelling to this area. The breakfasts were of the best quality and a great variety. We will be back.

Perfect location in the heart of the forest. Easy walk to pubs etc. The Forester is a great place for food and staff really friendly. Meerut is close to all the new forest has to offer.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th October 2023:

A nice friendly welcome and a quiet room within 10 minutes walking of the pubs and cafes. I was a bit disappointed nobody cleaned my coffee cup and emptied my bin while I was out on the second day, but otherwise pleased with my stay.

I would recommend the Snakecatcher for a meal. they are not the cheapest, but full plates and well cooked food make it decent value.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th October 2023:

What can I say? A fantastic stay with lovely people, brilliant accommodation, wonderful breakfast, beautifully cooked and presented, fabulous location, superb garden garden with a cabin to sit in in the evening. We feel we have made new friends and look forward to returning in the near future. Thank you to Pauline and Mike

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2023:

Great location - a short walk / cycle from Brockenhurst Train Station. Just a couple of 100 yards from the village shops, bars and cafes, yet set in such a tranquil setting with peaceful gardens. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts Pauline & Mike, from a warm greeting to a fabulous breakfast, and use of the utility room and facilities. The extra fridge with fresh milk and bottled water was a nice extra. Although the rooms were homely, they were spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. Would definitely stay again.

Plan in advance as there are so many places to see and things to do, and if you are not sure Pauline & Mike have all the leaflets and information you need for the local area and beyond!

Would Recommend: Yes

The Commoners bar/ bistro serve very good food and staff are very friendly. Lymington & Lyndhurst are both worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a great time during our stay at Meerut. It is such a beautiful B&B and located within a walking distance of some of the great walks in Brockenhurst. Mike and Pauline are amazing host and they very really helpful in guiding us to visit some of the best locations in New Forest. We would definitely visit again and will stay at Meerut for sure.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th May 2023:

Thank you for an excellent stay. You both work so hard and deserve a 5 star rating. The only improvement would be a slightly larger tele. We hope to visit again soon.

Pauline and Mike are gracious and helpful hosts. Breakfasts were delicious with flexible times.

10th March 2023:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Meerut and could not fault anything. Everything was perfect and Pauline and Mike were exceptional hosts, nothing was to much trouble for them and they made our stay so very enjoyable, so much so that we will most certainly return when visiting the New Forest, and would recommend Meerut to anyone wanting an idyllic place to stay. Once again Pauline and Mike, thank you for an exceptional 2 nights.

We would certainly recommend the Britannia Thai restaurant and the Snake Catcher pub for very good food.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st March 2023:

Meerut is ideally placed for walking. Pauline is always willing to point you in the right direction and an offer of an ordnance survey map is available. Both Mike and Pauline are friendly and willing share so much information about the New Forest and it’s history. The New Forest embroidery at Lyndhurst Museum is well worth a visit.

We had an really good meal at the Dynasty Indian Restaurant. A short car ride to Wilverley Inclosure is worth considering.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th December 2022:

Welcoming, friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. A lovely find in an ideal yet peaceful location for a pre-Christmas get-together with family. Everything and more has been thought of. And of course a great breakfast. We need to return in the summer to stay longer and enjoy the garden as well as some sight-seeing.

A short stay meant only Lymington with its shops and Saturday market, and a lovely meal at Enzee.

We really enjoyed our stay at Meerut - Pauline and Mike were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome.

Cycle hire at Brockenhurst station, the Italian restaurant at the station, wonderful walks nearby, St Nicholas Church well worth a visit and the Royden Manor nature reserve

Would Recommend: Yes

1st November 2022:

Lovely quiet B&B near the centre of the village. Very good facilities and lovely breakfast from Pauline and Mike. Huge garden to sit in or look out onto.

I mostly went to walk, cycle and see the ponies, donkeys and pigs. Being October it's muddy out but manageable. Saw lots of animals even the elusive pigs on my last day there. Nice firework display in the village on the Friday too.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st October 2022:

Lovely place to stay, everything you could want. Very friendly & in a good position in the village. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st October 2022:

As we said at the time, you have thought of everything we could possibly want - and more! And, yes, I would recommend you to other travellers - but not too many as I don't want you to get too busy to fit us in!

Would Recommend: Yes

29th September 2022:

Very friendly, happy to help wherever possible. Looking forward to returning as soon as it is practical.

I went to The Buttery during the day and to Enzee restaurant (Italian) both of which served superb food and were very friendly. This was my first car free holiday and I had planned to walk locally but found it was very easy to get a bus if I wanted to go further a field. Trains from London go every half hour.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2022:

Pauline and Mike are delightful hosts. The Meerut is a wonderful place to stay. We are looking forward to our next stay in 2023

Would Recommend: Yes

5th August 2022:

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this lovely B&B. Pauline & Mike were very welcoming hosts and on hand to help in any way they could. Our room had all the facilities we required with a lovely patio area to sit, which overlooked the garden. Breakfast offered a great choice of cereals and the cooked-breakfast was fabulous!

Meerut offers wonderful access to New Forest walks and cycling paths. The Dynasty Indian Restaurant offers excellent food, as do the local Italian Restaurants, Pubs and Fish & Chip shop.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2022:

I would not hesitate to stay at Meerut B+B if I visited the area again. Mike and Pauline were friendly and welcoming and always happy to give friendly advice about the area. Their B+B was located at the end of a peaceful lane off the village, but was only a few minutes walk from the local shops, there are also several nearby pubs within walking distance. My room was clean and comfortable and also had an entrance from the patio area with a table and chairs outside, which was very pleasant to sit outside on a sunny evening. The breakfast was very good, also I had access to the utility room with a microwave and toaster etc, this was very convenient if rather than eating out, I could quickly buy some food at the shops on my way back and cook it in the microwave and sit on the patio to eat it. I found Brockenhurst to be an excellent location. I do not drive but the trains and buses both go to Brockenhurst, it was a practical place to base myself and travel to other parts of the forest, but also a very nice location in itself.

I found the new forest very good for walking. You can walk to the forest within 15 minutes from Brockenhurst, also you see new forest ponies in the village area. I visited Beaulieu Motor museum and grounds including the abbey, I thought this was an excellent day out. Also I visited Bucklers Hard, this is about a 2 mile walk from Beaulieu, it has a history in ship building including building ships for Nelson. It is very scenic and you can take a boat trip on the river, again an excellent day out. I also visited the New Forest wildlife park near Ashurst, again this was excellent, I got to see a wide variety of animals fairly close. The coast at Barton on sea along to Milford on sea and Hurst castle was a lovely walk and very scenic, with views of the needles ( Isle of White) from Milford on Sea and Hurst castle. It was also very good in Hurst castle. The most wild and remote part of the forest seems to be the North West corner, I did a walk at Ashley Walk near Godshill, this was very good with a variety of different scenery, and I really felt I was in the heart of the forest. In the holiday season there are 3 open top buses that travel around different parts of the New Forest, I found this a very enjoyable way to get about, with lovely views from the top of the bus. If you buy a 5 day pass it is good value.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st July 2022:

Just the best bed and breakfast we have ever been to.

Went to the Commoners and the Gin Bar for the first time and can recommend both.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2022:

The best B&B I’ve ever stayed at. Everything about Meerut is perfect. This is all down to the thought and consideration Pauline and Mike have put into the detail of the accommodation. A wonderful stay; already thinking about the next one!

Brockenhurst is a lovely place to stay. It’s perfect for visitors without a car, as many trains from Waterloo call there. There are lots of walks that can be done from Meerut, plus good bus and train services. Why not leave the car at home and enjoy this beautiful area on foot if you can!

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2022:

Brilliant stay - and thanks for being so helpful & and an ace (so early) breakfast. We done very well at the show, so will be back twice a year! Not sure if we can fit another in this year (maybe), but will book you and the hall January we we plan dates.

Great food and real ale in the Snakecatcher Pub, but book ahead for the Italian.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2022:

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Meerut. Such a lovely place to stay. We cannot fault it at all. Pauline and Mike are such nice people, they made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is very good too. We will certainly be making a return journey to stay with them very soon.

Alberos the Italian Restaurant is excellent. The Foresters pub is good, with a nice garden. The Bakers in the High Street sell wonderful cakes.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th June 2022:

Pauline and Mike are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is generous, with plenty of choice. So much thought has been given to providing guests with everything they would need for a comfortable stay. Lovely garden with individual patio and garden furniture. Could not fault.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th June 2022:

We spent 3 nights here over last weekend for a car event in the New Forest. The perfect position for our weekend, right in the centre of the village and only 5 minutes walk away from the village and it`s facilities. The rooms are brilliant and the hosts were wonderful to. Nothing`s too much trouble. Due to the location, out of the way parking is another bonus point. Great breakfast as well. Pity we didn`t find this B&B earlier than we did. 2023 already booked !!!

Easy walk into the village. Don`t miss a visit to The Dynasty Indian and Rainbow Fish & Chips.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

4th June 2022:

Maps and directions provided before arrival were helpful as was the text contact confirming arrival times. Warm and informative welcome. Room was comfortable and facilities impeccably clean. Breakfast was comprehensive in a light and airy room with Pauline and Mike on hand to replenish without prompting. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and very happy to recommend Meerut.

11th May 2022:

Nothing was too much trouble, was able to relax in lovely surroundings. Breakfast choice was excellent, bed very comfortable, everything spotlessly clean. What’s not to like?! Also prices very reasonable.

I had a lovely lunch one day at The Huntsman and popped into the Buttery Cafe very close to Meerut. Service and food was good but, for me, a pensioner, a bit pricey. Friends drove me around to various towns, loved the Saturday market in Lymington, walked along the seafront in Milford (?) opp the Isle of Wight and the Needles, had a good acupuncture session in Brockenhurst which eased my back pain somewhat. Noticed there was plenty to do for younger more active people but was very happy with my relaxing break, beautiful countryside, ponies etc.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th May 2022:

Meerut owners Mike and Pauline provided a wonderful B&B experience. Located at the end of a quiet lane, their home is beautifully furnished with immaculate rooms and baths, comfortable beds, and an inviting breakfast room. Breakfasts were delicious with many options. The beautiful back property is an inviting place to sit outside and enjoy the surrounds. As long time residents of Brockenhurst, Mike and Pauline have a wealth of knowledge about the area and were so gracious and helpful making our stay most enjoyable.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th May 2022:

Another lovely stay, nothing was too much trouble. Look forward to coming again. Excellent.

We recommend Enzee for Italian food.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th April 2022:

You provided an outstanding quality experience. We hope to return in the future. In my opinion there is nothing you could do to improve. You have got everything just right.

Book evening meals at local venues well in advance. They get booked up and a walk in on the day can sometimes result in "Sorry we have no tables!" The Rhineland drive is a must see!!

Would Recommend: Yes

21st March 2022:

Firstly, Pauline and Mike are outstanding hosts. They are incredibly friendly and helpful. They really care about their guests and provide a standard of accommodation that surpasses other more expensive hotels in and around Brockenhurst. Secondly, the rooms are comfortable, well furnished and spotlessly clean. The most impressive feature is that each room has its own private access to a patio area and garden with patio furniture. The facilities at Meerut are extensive and the breakfasts are amazing. I cannot recommend this ideally located B&B enough.

The hosts provide helpful information about walking and cycling routes. Brockenhurst and the area is full of walking routes and has several good pubs and restaurants. I have never been disappointed in any of them. Hatchets Pond is beautiful and well worth a visit.

We couldn't have wished for better hosts, your warmth and friendliness was very much appreciated as were all the useful suggestions, advice, maps etc that you offered during our stay. We also felt very safe, and the breakfasts were excellent too. Thank you Pauline and Mike!

We had a very good dinner in the Foresters Arms; our other favourite places were the Fleur de Lys in Pilley - not cheap but a great, cosy pub with very good quality food and drink - the walk there from Brockenhurst was lovely too. We also liked the Saltern in Lymington for its range of cask and keg craft beers. The walk along the nature reserve from Lymington to Keyhaven was stunning and having the Forest on our doorstep was wonderful. Sightings of goshawks, egrets, waders and a kingfisher were particularly thrilling for two very amateur twitchers! The donkeys and ponies of Brockenhurst were a delight too, of course.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th December 2021:

Lovely room, great breakfasts, nice location and good facilities. Only one problem which was the shower didn’t come hot one morning suggesting hot water drained by others earlier. An electric shower wouldn’t have suffered from that issue!

Would Recommend: Yes

We are extremely sorry to hear today about the lack of hot water in the shower and would have offered you an alternative bathroom if we had known. A few weeks ago there was a problem with a lack of hot water when we were washing up. On investigation we discovered the guests that had checked out early that morning, had left the hot tap running furiously in their bathroom. We're sure this was possibly the same day. Many apologies once again. Pauline and Mike

Would Recommend: Yes

31st October 2021:

Such a welcoming, warm and comfortable guest house. Pauline and Mike always make our stay with them very enjoyable. They are such thoughtful hosts with added facilities in the utility room. They offer very comfortable and spacious en suite rooms and a very good choice at breakfasts, including locally produced sausages and bacon. Vegan, dairy free and decaf finales options are readily available too. They have clearly worked very hard to ensure the highest standards of Covid security both in bedrooms and in the dining room.

So much to see and do in the New Forest if you love wildlife, Nature, beautiful scenery and pretty villages. Miles of safe cycling, walking and riding tracks. Cities of Salisbury, Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth all quite close by; and the coast can be reached within a few miles at Lymington, Christchurch or Bournemouth. One of my particular joys is a day in the Forest with the ponies (at a safe distance, of course!) and happening upon little treasures of coffee shops or community shops like those at North and South Gorley, and The Cider Pantry at Burley.

Would Recommend: Yes

The scores I gave were 5, only because I couldn't give any higher on here. Pauline and Mike were the perfect hosts. The most charming, friendly and hospitable people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. The property they have is fantastic with great rooms and we had some lovely breakfasts. It is ideally situated in a central location with plenty of places to eat and drink.

We were on a mountain biking holiday and all the trails were right on the doorstep with easy access. We ate in the Huntsman, Snakecatcher, Albero Italian restaurant and the Indian in the high St all of which were very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2021:

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Mike and Pauline are very welcoming on arrival.It is very quiet even though situated in the centre of the village. A perfect base for a New Forest break.

17th September 2021:

Mike&Pauline are excellent hosts. They are very knowledgable about the area& gave us lots of ideas regarding places to visit, walks etc. The Meerut is in a beautiful location and is such a comfortable & relaxing place to stay. Being able to use the utility room& summer house was an added bonus.

All the local pubs within walking distance are superb& the local fish&chips shop is excellent too. Lots of walks immediately from Meerut& the railway station is just up the road to go further afield.

We had a lovely stay at Meerut. It is in a nice peaceful location in Brockenhurst with nice restaurants, pubs and shops just a short walk away. The rooms are clean, comfortable and cosy. Pauline and Mike were very friendly, helpful and accommodating providing everything that we needed and offering some great tips for nearby walks and activities. Would definitely stay again!

Thai Britannia for tasty Thai food and Dynasty for good Indian cuisine at a fair price. The Snake Catcher is a nice pub to enjoy a few pints at. Try any of the local walks around Brockenhurst to enjoy the lovely countryside. Jump on the train for a short ride to Lymington by the sea and if it’s a nice day, take a walk along the wetlands towards Milford On Sea and stop off at the Gun Inn for a nice traditional pub experience.

Wonderful hosts, great service. Pauline and Mike made out stay real comfortable making sure that we felt at home without intruding our privacy. They also have suggestions and booklets on how to make the best out of the visit.

The location is such that you have the village centre in 2 minute walk and the woods within 10 minutes. Take the walking trails or cycling trails which take you along amazingly stunning woods along the river.

We had a fantastic stay. Pauline and Mike were very accommodating and friendly. We were abit unsure of staying somewhere with covid being around, but Pauline and Mike put our minds at ease as they were so on the ball with cleaning and keeping us all safe. We would definitely stay again. Thank you

We enjoyed the local fish and Chip shop called Rainbow Fish Bar, the vegaterian Burger's were lovely. There is a lovely walk just round the corner as you come out of the village. The tall trees trial is absolutely amazing and a must coming to the New Forest. It's about 15mins drive away and you can see the California (GIANT) Sequoia trees. Amazing.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fabulous hosts. Couldn’t be more helpful! Room very clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a short break of four nights. Meerut is situated about a minute’s walk from the centre of Brockenhurst and around 10min from a number of very good pubs and restaurants, so is ideally located in the village and is central for days out in the New Forest. Covid regulations have made things a little more challenging for running a B&B but Pauline and Mike are doing a brilliant job of keeping things safe. Breakfast ... don’t miss the fry up! 10/10! We like to think we will definitely be going back to Meerut!

Lovely clean and comfortable room with ensuite and it's own entrance, table and chairs outside and garden to use and enjoy. Beautiful spot in a fantastic location. Delicious breakfasts especially the bacon! The hosts were great - so friendly and helpful (and they jave a LOT of local knowledge between them). They've been doing this a long time and are very very good at it!

The A to Z book map (Adventure Series) of the New Forest was reaaly excellent. Its the same scale as the OS map but in handy pocket size book - can be bght in Tescos in Brockenhurst or ask the hosts at Meerut to borrow one of theirs. We liked Alberos Italian restaurant - mid priced, good quality and good service with a big pizza oven so you can watch the pizza process!

Would Recommend: Yes

20th February 2020:

Pauline and Mike are friendly hosts with a fantastic knowledge of the area. You get a great nights sleep in a comfortable room then start the fresh day with a fabulous breakfast. The B&B is in a great location in the heart of Brockenhurst village yet quiet, being at the end of a short lane. It is a short walk to local pubs for evening meals or just a pint. Ideal for everyone with rooms on the ground floor and accessible so might return with my disabled mum in the future. Would recommend to anyone.

Foresters arms have a limited menu but the food is good for the price. Hare and Hounds offers more choice and equally fair price but is a short drive away. We always stock up at Sway Butchers in the nearby Sway village whose local meat products and meals all prepared on the premises (even vegan) are exceptional.

Pauline and Mike are extremely welcoming and friendly and have a full list of great tips for where to go in brockenhurst and the area. The breakfast was delicious! We enjoyed having access to a utility room area, and having our own 'front' door. It was a lovely homely atmosphere.

Rosie Lee's tea room for a good cream tea! We also sampled the fish and chip shop (yum) and a the Italian 'Albero' which did great take away (very cheesy!) pizza and pasta. There are good walks directly from meerut (take a look at the various routes and maps to borrow) - we did a good circular walk into the forest and around the town.

Delightful stay after a wet day trekking in the New Forest. I was able to dry my clothes in the airing cupboard. My host also collected a take away curry for me and when I forgot some items upon leaving they were posted to me at no extra charge. I would say that my hosts deserved a gold star!!

We had a great stay, the room was lovely and it was really good having an independent access into the room. Breakfast was great every day. The location of the B&B was perfect being walking distance from tesco and lots of restaurants and there were lovely walks to do from the B&B.

We had a lovely stay. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was comfortable, warm and homely, and the addition of access to a utility room was a bonus. Although we did not get to use the outside area due to poor weather, this was a welcome addition. Pauline and Mike were warm hosts, the breakfast and service deserves a 5/5! Will definitely return.

Le Blaireau at Carey’s Manor is worth a visit, food excellent. We also ate at the Thai Forest in Lyndhurst which was nice too. The Buttery in Brockenhurst is good for a range of food and drink. The walk/ride around the Ornamental Route in Brockenhurst is lovely too. Plenty to see and do!

This was our first visit to Meerut. Mike and Pauline are perfect hosts. We were in communication via email before we arrived, confirming time of arrival, where to find the keys when we arrive etc. We were met by Mike when we arrived and shown to our room and then had a tour of the amenities they offered to make our stay homely and comfortable. We were staying in the Maple room which had its own entrance and patio area. The utility area which is available to all guests was fantastic, offering a fridge and freezer and washing machine and ironing board should we need it. At breakfast we sat with other guests who were all previous visitors to Meerut and enjoyed their stay so much they frequently return. The full English breakfast was the best, and the attention to detail over the choice of sausage they picked to serve was very well thought through. We will definitely return again and can highly recommend their accommodation to anyone. Great peaceful location with easy walk to all shops and restaurants a perfect location for exploring the New Forest. Thank you Mike and Pauline hope to see you again soon. x

I booked this last minute the day before i went to the new forest. Ive got to say that this really was a great little find. A lovely place to stay in a good location that's near the centre of brockenhurst so its good for access to all the amenities and pubs. But without any of the feeling of being right in the town. Its quite, very nice surroundings and everything you see is clean and well maintained. Rooms are a good size with there own external entrances makes for easy coming and going. It also has space for parking, a place to put your bikes and very friendly owners who where helpful and accommodating. I will definitely stay again.

It was lovely to be greeted at the door and offered a drink- very welcome after a long drive down. Everything was explained thoroughly, including breakfast, use of the bathroom and utility room and also the fact that we have our own 'front door' leading directly on to the garden. Use of the Utility room was incredibly helpful for us, especially as we could chill our drinks and sandwiches before we left - the free bottles of water were a lovely touch. We're already looking at returning as it was such a lovely stay.

Local Italian restaurant -Enzee- just by the rail station was absolutely amazing, true Italian food, all freshly cooked and you could see all the staff were passionate and enthusiastic about the food and service they provide. Prices were extremely good- 2 meals and 2 desserts were only £67

I really enjoyed my stay at Meerut B&B.The location is great: Tesco and Sainsbury's are 1 minute walk, there are 2 nice tea rooms nearby as well and the New Forest is just a few minutes away.
