In the heart of the New Forest, this grand country house originally built in 1887 is a blend of Tudor and Gothic styles, and offers more than a little luxury.
Ideally located close to Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and all the New Forest has to offer, the hotel is only 20 miles from Southampton and Bournemouth.
Once the site of a keepers lodge, Rhinefield House was built with a 'no expense spared' approach. It is fitted with chandeliers, intricate carvings and unique touches, but has retained a homely, easy-going feel.
On a crisp winter day you can warm your feet by an open fire. Or, when the sun is shining, step outside and enjoy a drink on the terrace - a popular venue for barbecues and open-air jazz events. Alternatively, relax in the lounge and enjoy a signature afternoon tea.

The Armada restaurant is truly a sight to behold, where you will find the magnificent carving of the Armada set in the restaurant fireplace. It took 9 years to complete, and is carved out of a solid block of oak some 4 feet thick. It is the perfect backdrop to the masterpieces created by the chef and his team who delight in choosing only the finest ingredients to provide mouth-watering food complemented by a wide selection of fine wines. Due to the popularity of the restaurant it is recommended that you pre-book prior to arrival. The lounge bar has a contemporary feel with cocktail-bar style and is set in beautiful surroundings. The terrace provides a great backdrop for outdoor dining. Sit and watch the world go by and see the koi carp swimming around the pond whilst you have lunch, afternoon tea, or a glass of champagne. If you prefer to wander the grounds or surrounding area, pre-ordered basic or luxury picnics can be prepared by the hotel.

On the M27 Junction 1 take the A337 to Lyndhurst. When you arrive at Lyndhurst take the A35 west towards Christchurch for about three miles. Then turn off the A35 at the hotel signs. Continue along the ornate drive for about one and a half miles until you see the hotel.
