Sadly my wife and I have had some poor experiences in hotels in recent years, The Bell Inn was a wonderful exception! The food, the service, the room were all excellent.

Having visited the New forest in the past, we knew the area pretty well. the bell inn is very comfortable and in easy reach off the A31.

Instead of having the family at home this year, we decided to try a Christmas Hotel Package and found The Bell via several sites (including TripAdvisor). From the moment we arrived for a three night break everything was taken care of. The room was an excellent one (and for once the room did actually look just like the ones on... More

The decor was lovely, neutral but warm colours, room was spacious with great power shower. Bed was comfortable. There was a very... More
