A perfect location for making the most of the glorious Hampshire countryside, whatever the season.Autumn months are some of the busiest in the Hampshire calendar, with an abundance of Halloween events including the Exbury Ghost Trains, all sorts of Spooky Space goings-on at Gunwharf and Ghosts & Ghouls at Beaulieu. Our what’s on guide will help you plan your visit.If your idea of a great weekend is staying put and enjoying the surroundings, that's just fine too. As the temperature drops and we edge in to the Autumn months, you can find a warm spot next to one of the cosy real log fires and enjoy the luxurious surroundings. 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.We hope to welcome you to the Solent soon.
