Thatched Cottage Hotel

Set in one of the prettiest villages in the heart of the New Forest, the hotel's modernisation for the comfort of guests has not detracted from its original country charm. The individually-decorated double bedrooms have a unique old-world warmth, each room featuring either a four-poster bed, open-hearth gas fire place or even a Turkish steam shower.

Breakfast includes six different cooked meals to choose from, and is served as late as 11 am so that guests can lie in that little bit longer! Later on, why not enjoy lunch or an award-winning afternoon cream tea in the peaceful garden? The cosy beamed lounge is the ideal place for an aperitif before entering the dining room, where the menus offer delights from the New Forest such as wild mushrooms and venison. All ingredients are freshly prepared in the open-to-view kitchen starring the 'chefs-on-show', where the cuisine, is presented with flair and imagination. These culinary delights have been much acclaimed by the British and international press.
