Tucked behind a set of beautiful wrought iron gates stands a truly grand weekend escape – the super impressive New Place Hotel in Hampshire.

The Grade I listed building, set in 32 acres of Hampshire woodland, has an interesting history. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyen, the building incorporates the interior of a 17th-century Bristolian mansion which you can see in The Bristol Room, the hotel’s on-site restaurant.

Following a short stint as a boy’s school, New Place was transformed into a conference centre and then a sumptuous hotel, complete with 110 bedrooms, its own gym, pool, croquet lawn and even a cricket pitch. Most recently, in 2017, it was bought by Legacy Hotels and Resorts – and given a £1.3m refurbishment.

Of course, there’s a slap-up afternoon tea here, a pool, jacuzzi and a well-stocked bar with lounge to relax in, too. The hotel is also a hub for events, with 33 meeting spaces, conference facilities and an award-winning wedding team.

Very family friendly, there are family rooms, kids dining and an always-warm reception at New Place. The hotel is doggie friendly too, with four-legged family members very welcome. And for accomplished or budding equestrians, a partnership with a local riding school means the possibility of having a ride around the gorgeous grounds.

From Valentine’s meals to Mother’s Day workshops and a ‘Barking Madness’ dog show in the Summer, look out for a full calendar of events in 2022.
