Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
In a New Forest yachting town on the edge of the Solent, this Georgian hotel has been beautifully refurbished to create a family friendly, dog-friendly bolthole. Accommodation ranges from snug but chic loft rooms to luxury suites, some with a balcony or dual-aspect windows. Terrace rooms with garden access are perfect for pooches. Paint finishes are subtle and Georgian inspired. The Orangery, with glass apex ceiling, flagged floors and dolly-mixture palette, is a relaxing space for lunch, coffee or afternoon tea. In the evening, enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the softly lit Salt Bar before heading to Samphire – with exuberant pink and purple Colefax & Fowler floral wallpaper – and a menu that includes sharing boards, lobster risotto and lamb shank Massaman curry.
