6 Boutique Hotels in the New Forest

When looking for a rural escape from London, there's almost nothing more convenient than the New Forest. Better yet, unlike many other easy to reach country destinations, the New Forest feels rugged and wild - a million miles from the city. Dotted with historic country houses, there are now (unsurprisingly) a very good selection of boutique hotels. From some serious luxury contenders complete with spas or award-winning restaurants to charming owner-managed B&Bs. Our hotel experts have gathered the best of the best to make choosing a boutique hotel in the New Forest a breeze!

For foodies

The Huntsman of Brockenhurst is a smart gastro pub in the popular village of Brockenhurst. Chic rooms perfectly mix traditional and contemporary styles. The bustling restaurant serves British classics alongside excellent pizzas from the wood-fire oven.

For a chic country house

The Manor at Sway is ideal for those looking for more of an intimate stay. The Edwardian property has just 15 chic rooms all set within 5 acres. A tranquil stay, complete with an excellent British restaurant and a cool cocktail bar.

For the charm

Daisybank Cottage is an utterly charming boutique B&B. Featuring just seven rooms all of which have a contemporary rural feel. Book one of the rooms with a roll-top bath for a little extra indulgence. A quiet rural escape.

For the spa

Burley Manor enjoys a serene location in the midst of Hampshire's New Forest. This historic property boasts smart boutique rooms and an excellent Mediterranean restaurant. Better still, there is an extensive spa. Idyllic for a couples getaway.
