The New Forest Inn

Guests can choose from standard double rooms, superior king rooms, and double rooms with private bathroom. Each room includes parquet floors, a wardrobe, work desk, tea and coffee maker, hairdryer, shower, and TV. Standard double rooms are accessed via a steep and narrow staircase, not suitable for guests with limited mobility.

The New Forest Inn restaurant serves dinner with a menu that includes steak and ale pie, lamb rump, and pan fried lambs liver. Breakfast is served daily from 8.30 to 11.00 am and includes a full forest breakfast with bacon, eggs, and sausage. The bar offers a selection of bitter ales and hosts a beer garden with outdoor tables.

Dogs are welcome throughout the inn, and pet bowls are provided in the room. Dogs receive a treat and poo bags on arrival as a complimentary amenity. The location offers direct access to forest walks from the front door, making it a practical stop for guests with dogs.

The inn is set in the New Forest National Park, 13 km from Beaulieu and 16 km from The Mayflower Theatre and Southampton Guildhall. Southampton Airport is 24 km away, and Salisbury Cathedral and Bournemouth International Centre are within driving distance. New Forest ponies and cows graze outside the pub throughout the day, particularly at breakfast time.

The inn receives high ratings for its attentive staff and the breakfast provided by the property. Guest reviews note the spotlessly clean rooms and comfortable beds, especially in the superior king rooms. The evening meals are frequently described as high quality, with the steak and ale pie often called the best pie guests have ever eaten.
