A historic spa hotel with fine dining in the heart of the New Forest - includes breakfast, leisure perks, optional dinner credit, and more
  • An attractive and elegant escape: Within three acres of manicured grounds at the heart of the stunning New Forest sits the elegant Balmer Lawn Hotel & Spa. This 19th-century former hunting lodge has individually-styled and thoroughly contemporary rooms, which have previously played host to an illustrious guest list including King George V, Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower.

  • Relaxing amenities: The VIP treatment continues with the plush Saltus Spa, replete with a sauna and Jacuzzi, as well as the indoor and seasonal outdoor swimming pools, for ultimate rural relaxation. Gym-bunnies will feel right at home in the fitness centre, ideal for those not wanting to stray from their routine.

  • Brasserie-style dining: As part of its ‘al fresco’ dining experience, the hotel's Lodge menu presents a unique, seasonal take on traditional dishes. It encompasses classic brasserie treats such as rope-grown moules mariniere, juicy fillet steaks, and hearty sharing boards offering local pork belly, braised lamb or a tender Chateaubriand, cooked to perfection.

How to get there

Balmer Lawn Hotel & Spa is just a mile away from Brockenhurst railway station, connecting directly to London Waterloo (90 minutes) and is just eight miles from the M27 (Junction 1) which links with the M3 and M25 motorway networks. Bournemouth and Southampton International Airports are 15 miles away.
