Perfectly located on the edge of the New Forest, this hotel is within easy reach of Bournemouth and Poole. Ringwood bus station is approximately 6. 4 km from the hotel, and Bournemouth railway station is some 16 km from the establishment. Bournemouth Airport is about 14 km away, and Southampton Airport, Bristol International Airport and London Gatwick Airport are approximately 40, 131 and 173 km away respectively. This traditional country accommodation is non-smoking throughout and with one of the few bars in Britain where the pillars are inscribed with the illustrious names of many and few who flew from wartime airfields dotted around the New Forest and the south coast. Further facilities available to guests at this 35-room hotel de charme include a reception area, bar, restaurant and public Internet access. Guests arriving by car may use the hotel's parking facilities. The cosy en suite rooms feature a bathtub/shower and each includes a telephone, television, radio, Internet access and tea and coffee making facilities. Other in-room amenities include a double bed and an iron and ironing board. A daily housekeeping service is also provided. The restaurant specialises in good, simple English food. The bar also serves delicious meals, together with traditional ales. Bed and breakfast stays are also available to be booked. By car: from the M27 to Southampton, take the A31 past Ringwood to St. Leonards. The hotel is on your left opposite the Shell petrol station.
