WHAT WE LOVE...

An exemplary five-star country-house hotel on the edge of the New Forest that celebrities hire helicopters to get to (the hotel has two helipads). The spa with its large hydrotherapy suite, large indoor swimming pool, outdoor hot-tub and range of treatments is one of the draws, but so too is the award-winning restaurant with four sommeliers, the private 9-hole golf course, the indoor and outdoor tennis courts and the super-luxurious treehouse suites with uninterrupted forest views. A 20-minute walk through the grounds will bring you to Naish beach with a view of the Isle of Wight and you can also arrange archery, clay pigeon shooting and foraging, as well as croquet on the immaculate central croquet lawn.
