About

Dating from 1782, the historic Bell Inn Hotel combines period features with contemporary guest rooms in the heart of the New Forest. It has 2 golf courses on the doorstep. Spacious rooms each boast a flat-screen TV, free tea and coffee and cotton bed linen. All rooms have a modern private bathroom with a hairdryer, and all rooms also have a trouser press. With a reputation for quality food and wine, guests can eat in the bar. All menus at the The Bell Inn use seasonal produce, much of it sourced from the New Forest. Guests at the Bell are only a minute’s drive from the M27, but are surrounded by peaceful scenery perfect for walking. The charming New Forest village of Lyndhurst is 15 minutes’ drive away.

    Pros +

    • Fantastic staff who were very accommodating and helpful. Lovely cosy feel to rooms and restaurant areas.
    • Lovely Hotel warm clean rooms lovely friendly staff ease of parking
    • Location, accommodation and staff.

    Cons -

    • Bathroom area had tiles coming off and just looked a little under maintained for a hotel of this quality. In addition radiators were quite dusty.
    • The bar area was very spans had no atmosphere
    • Ordered a half portion of gnocchi with side of veg - it was not fresh gnocchi so I left half. The bill was £27, when challenged they said they don’t do half portions and I must pay full price. Eventually they unhappily took payment for a half portion.Bath plug was faulty (didn’t retain water) mattresses were sunken and pillows too hard. Small shower also didn’t work. Glass was stuck to the tray - either sticky cleaning products or glass not been refreshed for some time.

    Location, streaming services, breakfast was adapted as I am vegan (fresh avacado/sourdough was delicious) thank you

    Location was great, bed was super comfortable.Spacious roomBreakfast looked amazing although I only had a light breakfast. Near golf course which looked decent

    Hard to add to this point. The best I can come up with was the fire door between bedroom and ensuite.Hardly a complaint!

    9SharronPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Lovely big comfy bed, big tv, clean and spacious

    Shower a bit puny. Curtains did not fit the window so let in too much light.

    We have stayed at this venue before and the breakfast was great, on this last stay it was very disappointing, very understaffed, poor quality products

    We had a wonderful stay the previous New Year, this New Year, we decided to stay in a dulux room, the bed was terrible, just 2 single beds pushed together, the bar and restaurant was so short staffed it made you feel like you didn't want to ask for a drink or food. The New Year Gala was advertised as 5 courses, it was only 3. and the quality was no where near as good as the year before. I just felt like it had gone down hill.

    Lovely vibe nice atmosphere great food

    The beds were so uncomfortable and lumpy we woke every 2 hours so not best sleep

    6ReyaPosted on: 1-17-2026

    Bedroom was lovely. Great location.

    Breakfast was awful. I had to send the muffin back as my knife couldn’t go through it, it had obviously been frozen. Why not just use fresh stuff? The next day I had scrambled eggs and ham and the eggs were so bland and the ham was such bad quality.

    6HayleyPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Room was clean and had tea and coffee facilities.

    The water was cold, staff not able/willing to help, 'its and old building'. The window didn't shut in the bathroom so it was cold. The food was good but not much choice if just looking for a light meal and very expensive.

    5MatthewPosted on: 1-8-2026

    Plenty of parking

    No bath in room as stated in booking confirmation. Luke warm water and very poor water pressure in the shower. Stains on towel.

    8SaraPosted on: 1-5-2026

    Cosy rooms with attention to detailStaff were really friendly and hekpfi

    They didn’t put our good order through and had to wait over an hour for two baguettes. We did get a free bottle of wine toapologise

    9HeatherPosted on: 1-4-2026

    Very friendly, responsive and helpful. Everything was high quality

    Water pressure in the shower was low

    8KristinePosted on: 1-4-2026

    Excellent position and easy to get to. Very comfortable bed. Well appointed bedroom and bathroom. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast.

    The bathroom was quite cold (admittedly it was -2c outside)

    10AlexanderPosted on: 1-3-2026

    Staff, food, location, ponies and pigs running loose! And a golf course adjacent which, when it’s wintry and empty, means that non golfers like me can do woodland walks!

    What’s not to like?

    7JohnPosted on: 1-3-2026

    The staff couldn't be more helpful

    The radiator in our room didn't work which i brought to the attention of staff on the 1st day

    10RachelPosted on: 12-29-2025

    Had a family feel with lots of extra homely touches such as proper coffee in the room and useful buts for our dog. Staff very friendly nothing too much trouble. Great location to explore the forest from.

    All good but if I had to think of something a few more vegetarian options on menu
