Whether you love getting out and about by the coast with the family, or want to enjoy a lazy weekend of Spa treatments and good food with friends, the Solent is sure to fit the bill.
It's nestled in mature woods and ancient meadowland, so when you're there you feel like you're miles away from anywhere. Yet it's perfectly located between the coastal cities of Southampton and Portsmouth. Will it be sailing, country walks, maritime history and sightseeing or a few days of pure indulgence?
If your idea of a great weekend is staying put and enjoying the surroundings, that's just fine too. With complimentary spa facilities during your stay you're sure to return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
There's plenty to see and do in around the hotel itself. But should you wish to spread your wings, what about a trip to see the New Forest's wild ponies, or visit the Historic Dockyard and Spinnaker Tower? There's races at Glorious Goodwood. Or why not take a ferry to the Isle of Wight for the day? Have a look at our local events guide for more ideas.
When it comes to our food - we prefer not to go the extra mile. Chef, Peter Williams, sources local produce wherever possible to ensure we feature the best of the area on our menus. Plus, there's also The Parson's Collar - our very own Thwaites country pub on site - and all-day dining in the lounge and bar.
At J9 of the M27, midpoint between Southampton and Portsmouth we are ideally located for team meetings, away-days and boardroom briefings. This hotel is an ideal choice for national events and conferences. Our Essentials Package includes all of your meeting needs for only £35.00 per person.
We hope to welcome you to the Solent soon.
