een zeer aangenaam verblijf en ruime keus voor avondeten

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd March 2024:

Unfortunately there was no indication on the booking information that this bed and breakfast was located on the kerbside of an incredibly busy road. We were looking for peace and quiet and a restful nights sleep, which we got neither and this resulted in us leaving at 4am and driving home exhausted. This also meant missing breakfast which was another disappointment possibly.

Would Recommend: No

I am sorry you did not have a good stay with us. It dose clearly state on our website and all information that we are on a main road. Kind regards Margaret

Chris and Margeret made our stay more than comfortable. The little touches like chocolate bars,the choice of decaf,or caffeine coffee biscuits, cotton wool balls toiletries replenished throughout our stay was such a lovely touch.The breakfast was amazing,homemade bread every morning, homemade jams,good quality ingredients and fresh eggs from their chickens. Chris was also informative on the local area,where to eat and places to visit.We will return.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st February 2024:

This is a lovely, clean and comfy b & b, with the perfect host Chris. Nothing is too much trouble. He delivered a tasty breakfast, where you can watch the local birds feeding while eating it, and our twin room at the front of the house was great, with one end for two nice armchairs and TV. It is on a busy 'A' road which is noisy while you walk along it, but the windows were good at keeping the noise to a minimum.

You can walk to the village of Lyndhurst in 20 minutes, and also part of the New Forest where the horses/ponies roam; Beautiful. or walk just up the road and turn off, where there's a quiet pretty walk through the woods. Had been raining a lot when we went ,so there was a lot of mud around.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th February 2024:

Thank you so much. I loved our stay. The room was lovely and spacious, great big bed. I slept well. The facilities were great - I especially appreciated the variety of caffeinated and decaf options in the room. Short walk from town and straight into the forest. You were kind, welcoming, generous and cooked a perfect breakfast!

5th February 2024:

Hosts were welcoming and friendly. House is beautiful with many period features, very homely. Our room had quality furnishings, an extra large bed, private bathroom coffee and tea making facilities and lovely views. Breakfast was exceptional, freshly made to order with produce from their own animals. Home made bread, jams and marmalades really made it outstanding for us. Great location for all local attractions and hosts had much information about the local area. I cannot recommend the Clayhill high enough and would definitely encourage others to stay...its really lovely, worth every penny, we will be returning.

Plenty to see and do close by. Good walks and plenty of wildlife to see right on your doorstep. A good selection of eateries in Lyndhurst located in a pretty village setting. Lots of teashops to choose from on the high street.

11th December 2023:

Very warm and welcoming owner. Beautiful old house very tastefully decorated. Delightfull spacious room, beds a little hard for my taste but bed linen was lovely. We loved the view of New forest ponies, chicken and wild birds from our room. Then the smell of baking bread in the morning followed by a breakfast of fresh eggs, their own sausages and local bacon just completed the stay. If you wish to experience a stay in a typical old English home this is the place. Thank you we will be back.

5 mins drive to Lyndhurst which has some lovely resturants cafes and walks. Bike hire shop and some lovely gift shops. Other new forest attractions are all close by.

Great two days, very happy with the beautiful twin room we were given, complete with tea/coffee chocolate and biccys. The breakfast were perfect, cannot fault our stay with you.Will be back.

Situated on a busy road, so maybe a bit of noise from the traffic , a 20 minute walk to town centre , but easy to get too. Unlit road on parts on way back, that’s the only down side to this lovely B& B.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2023:

An excellent short stay but, wished we could have stayed longer. Great location, just on the edge of Lyndhurst. There was an extensive choice at breakfast, in a cosy dining room. We would have no hesitation in recommending this B&B.

Lots to do around the New Forest area, depending on your interests.

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Aufenthalt bei Chris und Margarete. Die Lage ist super, um New Forest zu erkunden und das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und vor allem absolut sauber. Das Frühstück war köstlich und die Gastfreundschaft wirklich zuvorkommend. Absolute Empfehlung!

Die Heidelandschaft und Wälder in direkter Umgebung eignen sich super für Wanderungen. Wir konnten viele Pferde, Esel und auch ein paar Schweine sehen. Nach 15 Minuten Fußweg erreicht man Lyndhurst, wo man sehr gut Essen und Trinken kann. Die Pubs The Fox & Hound und Stag haben uns gut gefallen. Empfehlenswert ist auch eine Fahrt mit der Fähre auf die Isle of Wight! Dort kann man ab Freshwater Bay eine tolle Wanderung entlang der Küste zu "The Needles" machen.

Excellent bed and breakfast. Spotlessly clean and comfortable room. Wonderful full English breakfast with fresh eggs, homemade bread and a very personal service. Couldn’t ask for more and would strongly recommend to all.

Lyndhurst itself is a beautiful place and Clayhill House is the perfect base for exploring the New Forest. Easy drive to all locations and local walks across the forest. Lymington, and Brockenhurst are pretty to visit. New Forest Wildlife Park is interesting for both adults and children. Best food for us was in the Jolly Forester which is located near Marchwood.

Such a lovely welcoming home. We loved our stay at Clayhill House. Chris and Margaret are fabulous hosts. We loved the way Chris was in the lounge each morning to say good morning, such a personal touch. Breakfast was delicious, homemade bread and preserves, scrumptious!! Chris even dropped us off for our day out saving us a pretty long walk, over and above. Room was really lovely and homely. Very clean and spacious. Would definitely stay again.

Town is a 15 minute walk. Chris recommended a few restaurants and pubs to us. We ate at the fox and hound, good pub food in a really spacious garden. Please note: breakfast is so good and filling you probably won’t want lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th July 2023:

Lovely room. Good breakfast and very good friendly and helpful host. Good parking but on very busy road. It’s about a 10 minute walk into centre of Lyndhurst.

We did a beautiful walk from Clayhill House on a path through the forest to Brockenhurst and back. Approximately 10 miles but easy walking. You can get refreshments in Brockenhurst and you can also get a bus back into Lyndhurst if you only want to walk one way.

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a lovely Sunday evening dinner at the Hare and Hounds in Sway (10 minute drive from Lyndhurst)coming back we saw several of the lovely New Forest ponies grazing at the roadside so do take extra care driving.the surrounding countryside was just wonderful, we will have a longer stay when next in this area.

Free on site parking in its own small car park big enough for four cars. Great host.

Our favourite restaurants:- The Waterloo Arms for lunch or dinner The Pergola Italian Restaurant Imperial China for a great chinese meal

22nd May 2023:

In the New Forest for a wedding, and Chris and his wife Margaret run an absolutely delightful 3-room B&B in their beautiful house. We had to leave early and they were very accommodating in feeding us an early breakfast, which was very much appreciated! Room 1 at the back was spacious and quiet and overlooking the garden and rear fields. In our first hour we saw a fox family and pair of woodpeckers on the feeder from the room windows. Beds nice and firm and breakfasts with fresh eggs wonderful! We were also lucky to get the last of the home reared sausages! Extra touches in the room like water and chocolate bars appreciated! The road is big and fast so do take that into account if road noise at night effects you. We very much hope to return to this little idyll of a guest house.

The location was perfect for exploring everything The New Forest has to offer which for us included a day trip across to the Isle of Wight. We certainly didn't go hungry as the breakfast on offer had everything needed for a great start to the day, and the little cosies for the boiled eggs were gorgeous.

Excellence is the standard Chris & Margaret have established for their guests delivered in a warm and cosy manner. Almost instantly we became friends. Room 2 was large and had a huge and extraordinarily comfortable bed and 2 comfy armchairs to snuggle into to relax, read or watch TV. Breakfast was superb and the eggs from their own hens the best I have ever tasted. An amazing and friendly 3 day stay.

Warm welcome, very clean and comfortable rooms, great breakfast with some home produce. A spectacular view of a very well visited bird station accommodating many different, small birds - great amusement whilst enjoying the breakfast. A lovely stay with lovely people.

Front room overlooks main road with heavy traffic, even in early hours of Sunday morning - keep windows closed to reduce the noise. Fairly steep, narrow staircase may not suit people with poor agility. Great pub grub in Crown & Stirrup few doors up or The Fox in Lyndhurst (15-20 min walk).

The room booked was a Double Room with a normal Double Bed so could not be made into a Twin Room. I have no knowledge of the blow up bed and no idea how they could have put it in the room. When it was booked we were asked for twin beds and they were told it was not possible in that room. We feel that they are not being truthfull about their stay or the information they were given.

Clayhill House was in an ideal location for us exploring the New Forest, Margaret & Chris were excellent hoasts with knowledge of the New Forest. Room lovely and clean, breakfast supperb, would stay again.

The Crown Stirrup pup just seconds down the road does excellent food and beer plus you get a discount for staying at Clayhill House. The main road at front of property can be heard,which didn't bother us. Being near Lynhurst, the centre of the Forest you are not far from most attractions to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Chris is very friendly and helpful. It was a shame not to meet Margaret as I had dealt with her to book our stay. Our room was lovely, spacious and clean. Cosy too. The bed was very comfortable. Having fresh eggs from the chickens and being able to watch them and the amazing birdlife from our window was the icing on the cake.

Clayhill House is well situated to see the sights. The coastline is lovely and the little quays. Buckler's Hard is worth a visit as it's pretty and full of history. We had a short boat trip there. Avon Beach and Mudeford are good for walks and an ice cream. We ate in Ray's Kitchen in Milford-on-Sea - excellent. Peggy May's cafe in Lyndhurst is good but very popular. Lyndhurst also has a very good information centre. The heathland around Lyndhurst is beautiful. Good for walking. Everywhere there are ponies, donkeys and cattle roaming freely. We even saw 3 deer crossing the road in front of us. We had a couple of dinners in the Hare & Hounds at Sway - a friendly pub with a goid atmosphere and nice food. The Crown at Bransgore is excellent for food and very nice atmosphere and staff.

A lovely room, good facilities (including parking). Breakfast was great and made to order (items that were on the menu). Only downside is the property is close to a busy road, which was still fairly busy even at night. So if you like it to be quiet to sleep take earplugs.

Would Recommend: Yes

Clayhill House, is a beautifully kept and immaculately clean. The rooms are fresh and bright. Delicious freshly cooked breakfasts are served by the hosts.

The Crown Stirrup Pub next door but one is a great place to eat and couldn't be more convenient. Beaulieu, Lymington, New Forest wildlife Park and many other New Forest visitor attractions are within easy reach. Lyndhurst Village is within walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th February 2022:

Really clean, nice space and everything you could want from a B&B. Breakfast bacon and sausage was up there with the best! Already recommended to others.

The pub 2 doors up is really nice. Good food and drink, believe it changed hands. We'd also recommend the New Forest Inn which is 5 mins away by car.

We've had a fantastic stay and would recommend. We've had the largest and quietest room with a lovely view but need to say that the road can be a bit noisy.

Crown Stirrup is just a few steps down the road and food is excellent and portions are generous.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd October 2021:

Easy to find. Chris could not have been more helpful and his breakfasts were delicious. We really appreciated the secure storage for our bikes and bike rack and his assistance in drying our rather soggy coats. The only slight down side was the noise from the passing traffic in the front facing room. The bed was extremely comfortable.

Avoid the parking charges at Buckler's Hard by parking in Beaulieu Motor Museum where spaces are plentiful and free...but make a note of the museum closing time to avoid the car being locked in.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2021:

We loved staying at Clayhill House and could fault nothing. Our room was excellent and the items provided showed that a great deal of thought had gone into making guests' stays as comfortable as possible. The breakfasts were excellent and our hosts were very accommodating about personal culinary needs.

La Pergola restaurant is lively and the food is very good. The Crown & Stirrup nearly next door to Clayhill House is a great for convenience and basic meals. The New Forest Wildlife park is a small and very interesting gem. The whole New Forest area is beautiful with some wonderful walks which are often graded. The only comment is to make sure about opening times from October to Spring. Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Lymington are all special in their own way.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2021:

Our room was spacious, quiet, and very comfortable, and the hosts are helpful and friendly & cook a terrific breakfast. Looking forward to our next visit already!

This is a great central location for easy access to the whole of the New Forest.
