Dating from 1782, the historic Bell Inn Hotel combines period features with contemporary guest rooms in the heart of the New Forest. It has 2 golf courses on the doorstep.
Spacious rooms each boast a flat-screen TV, free tea and coffee and cotton bed linen. All rooms have a modern private bathroom with a hairdryer, and all rooms also have a trouser press.
With a reputation for quality food and wine, guests can eat in the bar. All menus at the The Bell Inn use seasonal produce, much of it sourced from the New Forest.
Guests at the Bell are only a minute’s drive from the M27, but are surrounded by peaceful scenery perfect for walking. The charming New Forest village of Lyndhurst is 15 minutes’ drive away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
