The restaurant serves up seasonal dishes such as local burgers and winter pies accompanied by fine wines, while the lounge bar provides more casual dining options and hot drink specialities.

The on-site gym offers visitors the chance to fulfil their fitness goals, while the swimming pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub act as relaxation options.

Groupon’s Guide To Hampshire

Naturally rich in waterways, wildlife, and rugged terrain, Hampshire offers historic attractions and a mix of outdoor activities such as horse riding, river rafting, and coarse fishing.

Travellers may head to Jane Austen’s House Museum revealing memorabilia and artefacts that once belong to the novelist, while a historical outing can commence with Winchester Cathedral, where her tomb lies. Straying off the beaten track, consider dipping into the ArtSway Gallery, where a rotating collection of local and international artworks are displayed in a special New Forest space. A taste of the high-life can be enjoyed at The Southampton Hall of Aviation where a vast collection of vintage aircrafts can be explored, along with the considerable sky-gliding heritage of the Hampshire coast.
