“In my opinion, this boutique hotel, nestled in Lymington, strikes a balance between historic charm and modern vibrancy. The award-winning British tapas-style dining is a definite highlight, as is the proximity to both the New Forest and sailing activities. It seems like a particularly welcoming spot for those traveling with dogs, too.”

The restaurant offered a huge, fresh lobster, and a sirloin steak so tender it was like fillet. Breakfast had homemade granola!
