House ideally situated between Southampton and Portsmouth, and
provides an excellent base location for exploring the stunning
South Coast including the New Forest, the historic dockyard of
Portsmouth and West Quay in Southampton (the largest shopping
complex in the South). The Lakeside Spa makes it perfect for a
weekend getaway.
Exterior: The Hotel was built as a private Country House during the
17th century and it was in this period, that Oliver Cromwell came

ornamental ceiling which can be seen in the Cocktail Lounge.
Lobby: The lobby is located within the Mansion House and is small
and welcoming.
