Hook House

We stayed for a night with our baby on the way to the New Forest. We had a lovely warm welcome, the owner was very friendly and was super helpful with our requests. We had the pizza for dinner and it was really good, fresh, crispy and great toppings. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed for a wedding, which seemed to be a common reason to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was nice, with plenty of choice. Hotel was nice and quiet when we went. Only downside was the curtains weren’t great, so it was super bright in the morning. Room was a little small but I feel that was fair considering the price we paid - overall good value.

Lovely family run hotel was ideal for me. Character building in a nice setting, and my room was very clean and pleasant. Very friendly and excellent pizzas! 3 vet comfortable nights .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Popped into The Bar in Hook for their much-talked-about pizza — and wow, it did not disappoint . Perfectly crisp base, fresh ingredients, packed with flavour — easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. But this place is more than just great food — it’s a proper hidden gem. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely family behind it all and ended up in a brilliant, thought-provoking chat about the world today . And the vibe? Even better. The walls are filled with stunning original artwork — all of it for sale — adding a creative, bohemian energy that’s rare to find. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. If you’re anywhere near Hook, make the time. Real food, real people, real soul. #TheBarHook #PizzaAndPerspective #FamilyRun #SupportLocalArt #HookEats #HiddenGems #RipleyApproved

We had a great stay in Hook house...such lovely service, they couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. We had an evening in the garden with family, and the pizzas, salads, and paninis are worth a visit here alone. The owners bought out lawn games that kept our younger family entertained. Breakfast was delicious, to the point we invited family over to have breakfast in the lovely dining room with us. Lovely pieces of art around the hotel, too, by the owner that we enjoyed. Rooms were a little dated but spotlessly clean and adequate. Nice powerful shower. ( we had a small double, room 1 ) We would't hesitate to stay back at hook house and look forward to our next visit with family soon. Thanks again.

Lovely place, lovely rooms, great breakfast and fantastic staff

Turned up after a 17 hour flight, and were able to get an early check-in! Lovely.

I wanted to stay outside London and get a different experience. 5 stars because it is exactly what I expected and it aligns perfectly with the price. I booked the wrong night because I am an idiot. The reception person was awesome; and we had a laugh and then found an open room. I want you to have a 5 star experience and that starts with the right expectations for the cost and location. Honestly, I enjoyed the Hook House more than the Hotel Renaissance at 2x the price and I am platinum with them. Rooms and bathroom were clean. Yes everything (furniture) is dated; but that is expectation. The pillows were brutal; but it might be safer that way and again kind of expected. The water was strong and warm with a very functional shower. The towels were way nicer than I expected. As in WOW, if I drove a Jaguar I would have stolen the towels. (A bit of a Jeremy Clarkson joke, I'm not British so maybe this isn't even a joke). I also had super cool Cow pillows and a 3/4 height door; the cool small door is likely only the 3rd floor. I did not get to enjoy any food; but I do feel I likely missed out on some solid pizza. I walked to the local supermarket and had a meal similar to kids getting off from school, which is exactly my style. The bottom-line is if you are like me and want something different and get a feel for the local community, then this is exactly what you should book. The walk from the rail station is super simple and is part of the charm and fun.
