For an Affordable Romantic Hotel
- The Master Builder’s is a wonderful old property right by the Beaulieu River in the New Forest.

The most romantic rooms are in the original part of the property.
- The Woolpack Inn is a traditional pub with seven elegantly designed rooms in a tiny rural hamlet. The decor is rustic chic and the food and drink are good. It’s also dog friendly.
