We’ve stayed at The Penny Farthing before. The place is basic, very clean and welcoming. It is ideally situated for walking into Lyndhurst & travelling to other parts of The New Forest. All staff we’ve met during both stays have been welcoming and friendly.

Quaint hotel in Lyndhurst
We made a last minute booking and were very happy with the hotel. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a cooked breakfast and felt the price we paid was value for money. The hotel building was old and this made for quirks such as steep, narrow stairs. If staying again I would ask for a ground floor room or one of the cottages.

Clean but needing some tidying up.
Lyndhurst is a great base for exploring the New Forest. The Penny Farthing is clean and most of the staff are very friendly. The breakfast is a no frills full English. Dog friendly and our dog loved her morning sausage.

Stayed 1 night for a wedding - single room which was clean and bright. Only negative was carpet in the toilet area- not very hygienic! Service was very good as was the breakfast.

Rooms are not accessed during your stay so teas, coffees, milks, etc are not replenished. The bed was quite uncomfortable but they were hot nights so we slept on the quilt. Breakfast was excellent and staff were very attentive and friendly.

The family room was nice, although the one blind did not keep the light out, the bed was very creaky whenever we moved, traffic going past was making the bed rattle, The taps were really hard to turn off, which left the water dripping. Breakfast was nice

It’s a budget hotel remember this
We new this was budget accommodation so there were no real shocks the only advice I would give is make sure you are in one of the rooms on the main road. Small double as I said is what you would expect. Mattress could do with changing. Location good for village breakfast ok although no real personal feel.

Lad at the front desk was completely unhelpful for everything. Room on Top floor. Yes we knew it was up a lot of stairs. But they were so steep and narrow could barely get our large bags up. No one to help. Room was micro size. Bathroom too. It was very clean so that’s a positive. We would have left if not.

The hotel was good. Nice and convenient to shops at Lyndhurst. Quaint with the focus on all forms of cycling. Room was excellent -- only downside is the narrow, steep stairway to the first floor and the associated challenge with getting bags up and down,

I had a really good stay at the Penny Farthing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. I had a room at the back without any traffic noise, but there is some noise from other guests.
