“Situated in the stunning New Forest, and once Charles II's hunting residence, this hotel prides itself on its family-friendly facilities. The spa, swimming pool and games rooms mean that no members of the family will be bored. The hotel has its own traditional English restaurant.”

Hotel review

Luxury Family Hotels has a winning formula. Endless kids’ activities, plus two hours’ free childcare for every night stayed; while adults relax in chic, beautiful surroundings. Revamped New Park Manor is no exception. Nestled in ancient woodland in the New Forest, you know the setting is special from the moment you drive down the winding lane to the hotel, passing free roaming ponies and fields of deer. It’s a fun, stylish space – with Alice in Wonderland and Wind in the Willows-inspired, autumnal decor - that entices you to linger. Play a board game in the comfy lounge, curl up with a book in the library, climb on the wooden playground, swim in the indoor or outdoor pool or watch a family film screening with popcorn. Bedroom details such as mushroom night lamps, cuddly toys and chalkboards thrill the kids, while adults appreciate the four-poster beds and roll-top baths.

Adults can enjoy solo time thanks to the Ofsted-registered children’s club. A spa treatment or unwinding in the outdoor Jacuzzis by the grazing ponies is recommended. Food is seasonal, local and tasty. Families eat in The Vinery, which conveniently offers direct access to the games room, and The Stag Restaurant and Bar is elegant for adults, with dim lighting and chandeliers.

Map & Location

See what they say

Why do people love staying in your hotel? It's heaven for both parents and children alike, a balance which is often hard to nail!

What kind of breakfast do you offer? Guests can enjoy a delicious continental buffet with pastries, toast, cheeses, hams, yoghurts & fruits. Eggs can also be made to order eg Eggs Benedict/Royale, pancakes, full english and children's options like dippy eggs & soldiers and waffles

Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? The hotel offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon teas and lighter snacks available from the spa cafe which offers healthier lighter options & smoothies

Which are your most popular room types, and why? Given the size of the property (25 rooms) most room categories are very popular. For larger families we recommend booking in advance because there are only 2 x 2-bedroom suites which are beautiful, and particularly popular!

What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms ? Extra beds and even dog beds can be added to rooms, we also have interconnecting options and even rooms with bunk beds for little ones.

The property is also home to one of the most family friendly spas around. The newly renovated spa has a meditation pod, a Somadome, which is 1 of 3 in the whole of the UK and is suitable for children over 6 years old. The spa also offers treatments to children as young as 3 years old as part of their Little Ishga programme that means little ones can join mum & dad in the spa, with a mini facial or massage.
