New Forest Romantic Breaks

Romantic retreat

Burley Manor

Part of an 800-year-old estate, Burley Manor is renowned as a luxurious New Forest haven and romantic retreat. There are indulgent wellness facilities on offer, and their opulent rooms overlook beautifully landscaped grounds, inviting you both to relax and unwind.

Enjoy an intimate meal for two in the restaurant, snuggle up in front of the fire in the lounge, or dress up and indulge in a coffee together in one the grand drawing rooms. The food is exquisite, and as in all New Forest Collection’s hotels, the inspiring menu showcases locally sourced and seasonal produce wherever possible.

Burley Manor is also home to The Shepherd’s Hut, a delicious hideaway and perhaps its best kept secret. Think wood-burning stove, copper bath and cosying up in bed under a canopy of stars at night. Surely all the ingredients needed for a romantic break to remember?

Whisper sweet nothings

Forest Lodge

Lovers looking for a quintessential boutique hotel experience will certainly find it in the sophisticated townhouse, Forest Lodge near Lyndhurst. Its elegant interiors offer plenty of secret nooks for whispering sweet nothings, and its stylish suites, some with four-posters, simply demand breakfast in bed.

Indulge in mouth-watering dishes from the menu of its award-winning grill and brasserie, and when you fancy a stroll, head out into the hotel’s beautiful gardens or the forest itself, which is right on the doorstep.
