Here’s a challenge: find a more relaxing and special occasion than the joy of having afternoon tea in the glorious New Forest. You’ll be faced with such decisions as cream before jam, or jam before being among wildflowers, ponies and beautiful views.
Plump scones and patisserie treats, afternoon tea is one of the finest British traditions, and here at the New Forest Collection we have a number of afternoon tea venues if you’re visiting the Lyndhurst area – each with their own unique charm and take on the ultimate afternoon tea experience.
We have not one or two but five incredible afternoon tea venues to choose from at the New Forest Collection; the closest to Lyndhurst are Forest Lodge, Beaulieu Inn and Bartley Lodge. But before we get on to details about the destinations, we’d like to inspire you with an array of beautiful afternoon tea choices which might help steer your decision of where to head to.
In no particular order (although, we do love our scones accompanied by a glass of bubbly) There’s sweet and savoury options as well as freshly baked goods and a variety of teas from £19.95 per person.
These include the likes of manchego & beetroot cream cheese scone, sundried tomato quiche, or roast turkey & cranberry mayonnaise for savoury sensations. If you have more of a sweet tooth, then you’ll ogle at options such as carrot cake with cream cheese frosting; lemon drizzle cake; rich chocolate delice; and macarons – or even a milk chocolate coated eclair with vanilla chantilly cream.
Our lavish afternoon teas are renowned across the country and here’s why; we’ve really got the ideal spot, but that’s really just the beginning…
The New Forest’s surroundings always add to the experience, so whether you are relaxing by the most beautiful forests in the land; sipping tea at Forest Lodge, our townhouse hotel featuring elegant Georgian architecture located just six minutes away; or enjoying Burley Manor, just 15 minutes from Lyndhurst, which combines old manor house charm with a contemporary eclectic twist. These spots are truly unique for afternoon tea.
If you’ve heard about spotting the famous free-roaming New Forest ponies and donkeys then you’ll want to enjoy afternoon tea at Beaulieu Inn, nine minutes from Lyndhurst. For the ultimate tranquillity, opt for the country house at the end of a woodland drive, where you’ll find Bartley Lodge, just 12 minutes from Lyndhurst.
