An elegant country hotel promising a memorable retreat

A charming Hotel where even the wild ponies admire the Tudor gables. Welcome to the Forest Park Country Hotel in Brockenhurst, a place where history and refined hospitality meet. Originally built in the 19th century as a vicarage, this delightful home has worn many hats over the years. During the First World War, it transformed into a hospital for wounded Indian and New Zealand soldiers, providing solace amidst the turmoil. In 1910, it played host to none other than Theodore Roosevelt, who likely appreciated its tranquil setting after his presidential escapades as did King George V and the Empress of India that same year. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the hotel has embraced its role as a luxury retreat for visitors and their four-legged companions.

Following a multi-million-pound recent refurbishment and acquisition from the Coaching Inn Group, the Forest Park Country Hotel now boasts 40 elegantly appointed rooms, each offering a blend of classic comfort and charm and modern amenities with those little touches it’s hard to find. It’s not just the rooms that captivate guests. A passionate kitchen team serves up modern British cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients, ensuring that every meal is a celebration of the surrounding countryside. We mustn’t forget the hotel’s most endearing feature, its resident New Forest ponies. These gentle grazers often make appearances at the Hotels entrance, adding enchantment to an already magical setting.
