The Experience
This charming 16th-century pub on the edge of the New Forest has a warm and welcoming vibe with lots going on from quiz nights to live music. Walk in to a spacious bar area with local ales on tap and plenty of comfy seating. Outside, a beer garden with excellent south-facing views over the fields is perfect for sunny days.
The adjacent old barn has eight bedrooms: three dog-friendly doubles/twins with private courtyards; three doubles with Juliette balconies and those views; two big suites, one on the ground floor and one on the first. All have lovely en suite bathrooms, the suites with baths, and all doubles are king size.
The food is something to write home about. Chef Peter spent three years at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and it shows – the gastro pub menu is excellent value and Sunday lunch is a standout. Breakfasts are delicious and everything is sourced as locally as possible – eggs and meat from down the road and fish from nearby Downton (they can even tell you which boat it came in on).

Location
The neighbourhood
There's a village shop for essentials. A short drive away, Salisbury, Winchester and the market town of Romsey are definitely worth a visit. Paultons Park is a 16-minute drive for Peppa Pig World and Exbury Gardens' Rhododendron Line steam train and magnificent woodlands 30 minutes. Head to the Solent coast (40 mins) for bracing seaside walks.
Local points of interest from Patrick & Nicky Chambers
- Drive to the nearby market town of Romsey to browse the farmers' market, and visit the historic Romsey Abbey originally built in the 10th century and burial place of Lord Mountbatten.
- Take a walk through the bridleways that crisscross Whiteparish to discover that we are within walking distance of the New Forest National Park.
- Take the bus or drive into Salisbury to visit Salisbury cathedral, the home of the Magna Carta.
- Walk in the footsteps of your Neolithic ancestors at Stonehenge, a World Heritage site and the best known prehistoric monument in Europe. Stonehenge is within 20 miles.
- Visit Pepperbox Hill, a National Trust chalk ridge landmark with far-reaching views and rich natural heritage.

This is a delightful find. The new owners are still adding finishing touches to the decor and to the outside but it's already pretty and warm and extremely comfortable. It would be perfect for a "getting away from it all" weekend or for a special meal with a big group. Or even take over the whole place for a small wedding or big birthday.
