New Forest Hotels (formerly
known as Care Hotels) was formed during 1988 with the group’s
first country house hotel, The Beaulieu Hotel. This acquisition
was shortly followed by a further two country house hotels, The
Forest Lodge in Lyndhurst and The Moorhill House Hotel in Burley.
With these 3 country house hotels under their wing they set about
a refurbishment plan to upgrade the hotels from 2 star to 3 star.
During March 1989 , New Forest Hotels Plc acquired the flagship
of the group, The Bartley Lodge Hotel at Cadnam. This grade II listed
former hunting lodge was previously the home of Charles Lyell, Darwin’s
mentor. |

Throughout the years the company have continued to invest and refurbish bringing the whole group up to AA 3 star standard, introducing purpose built family bedrooms, extra conference rooms, new function rooms all in keeping with the country house style atmosphere.
The most recent project was at the Beaulieu Hotel. The refurbishment and extension included a brand new function room with the capacity for 250 people, 5 new luxury four poster or family bedrooms and a guest lift. |
