Christmas
The party starts; come in from the cold and tuck into Christmas Afternoon Tea full of boozy mince pies and spiced mulled wine. As the afternoon drifts into the twilight, venture out to explore the enchanted forest and return to the sound of champagne corks popping as we kick-off the celebrations and you take a sip of your first Christmas cocktail!
There will be live music and merry making in the Courtyard followed by dinner at Hartnett Holder & Co. The unwinding really continues with a late nightcap and stocking hanging!
We like you to start your morning easy and relaxed; stay snuggled-up in bed and enjoy opening your stockings, then make your way down to breakfast! You can spend the morning indulging in a little ‘me time’ in the Spa, work up an appetite with a bracing walk or simply enjoy each other’s company in front of one of our open fires. Christmas Lunch is served in Hartnett Holder & Co and will be an indulgent forest feast of juicy turkey with all the trimmings, fillet of beef and of course, not forgetting the ultimate Christmas Pud!
After lunch sink into sumptuous sofas in-front one of our open fires, or if you are in need of fresh air head out for that post-turkey stretching of the legs in a pair of our wellies.
If you can squeeze in a little more delicious food, we will have the perfect ‘leftovers’ buffet for you to graze from all evening, whilst relaxing with your loved ones and eventually drifting off to bed.
Head down to breakfast or spend the morning relaxing in bed knowing you can enjoy lunch whenever or wherever you want. Roam in our grounds or the New Forest, unwind with a treatment in the spa or settle down in front of a classic film and then head to dinner at Hartnett Holder & Co.
Have breakfast before heading off.....or if you can’t bear to leave, why not extend your stay a night or two?
We are currently full at the inn for Christmas!
