"I absolutely love Italian cuisine, but it's often challenging to find authentic Italian restaurants. To my delightful surprise, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. The food is genuinely authentic Italian, complemented by excellent service. They also cater to children, offering smaller portions of pasta, pizza, and other meal adjustments. Everything was delicious! The only downside for us is that it's not local, but if you get the chance, make sure to add this place to your list of must-visit restaurants."

"Booked ages ago, husband explained my food intolerances and when arriving at the restaurant they weren’t prepared at all. Menu not accommodating and choice of 1 starter (which was poor) and main which was ok if they hadn’t served it with buttered potato. Feeling quite ill and now what was meant to be a great evening with my husband ruined. Can’t recommend at all and won’t be back. Their menu says let us know about allergies but they won’t do much with it at all when you tell them even days weeks in advance. disappointed"

"After all of the Celebrities chefs raising awareness on British cuisine, we have gone all the way backwards. What a disappointment the Crown Stirrup was, I came from Bournemouth to enjoy a good and traditional Sunday Lunch in the New Forrest. Did anyone tell the owner its post COVID so get your garden cleaned up. The place looks closed, and it was quite and the reason could be the food the most disappointing area served by staff that have their trousers hanging around their thighs exposing underpants and buttocks to the customers while they ate. I ordered Whitebait which were as big as sardines, so big they were coated in breadcrumbs and placed on top of the tartare sauce (not freshly made) small side salad no lemon. Whitebait are sprat, small about an inch long coated in milk and seasoned flour served with a vessel of tartare sauce and side of lemon, can have sprinkling of paprika or Cayenne. Oh but the main course was something else, overcooked beef with rubber roasts peas and carrots coated in flavorless packet gravy, glossy and shiny awful, and the red cabbage same watery purple liquid finished off with supermarket horseradish sauce. All through lunch some music blaring through what seemed like a transistor radio. Just when you thought it was safe to venture out for Sunday Lunch there is the Crown Stirrup in Lyndhurst. Close up not good for british pubs and its culinary scene."

"We were excited to spend our afternoon at the Beaulieu Hotel to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary, but we were quite disappointed with the atmosphere and dining experience. There was no background music, which contributed to a lack of ambiance. The food portions were very small, and we weren't even asked what type of tea we wanted. The sandwiches served didn’t match those listed on the website, the scones were bland and only the size of golf balls, and the cream didn’t resemble proper clotted cream. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied with our afternoon tea experience."

"I didn't know what to expect when you came. we came mid-februar while on holiday and the weather was not great, so thought it was a day out undercover. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. the website is quite large, we started with the top wheel area, which was really good, it was great near some of the wacky creations that were made in the run of the years. we stopped eating a bite before it had to do, and the prices were not bad, probably on the somewhat higher side, but the cakes were very good. we moved to the main museum and were shocked to see how many cars and bikes they have built into the large building. everywhere you turn around another vehicle inconspicuously clean and many information about it. the range of vehicles is huge from the first cars to modern. we loved the 007 exhibition, where they could get up close to the cars from the last movie, it was nice to get so close without them on sockel meters away. there is an old-timer bus ride and a one-way track that they take around the website that was nice to do. we looked around the abtei and the house (included in price) and made a walk along the river. when they receive gift help they get back to the year to come, but what was not made clear at the time when they come back, they only get entering the motor museum and no other attraction or house that was a little disappointing. the only thing that it really leaves for us, although a fairly quiet day tries to eat between 12 and 2 to midday, leads to a long wait and wait. there are many picnic spots, so on a sunny day I think that would be a great place to go, but also on a wet day it is a good day out if they don't mind getting a little wet as they go between the exponate house and gardens."
