History of the hotel
The Hotel's name is taken from the lawn to the front of the Hotel, originally thought to have been called Palmers Lawn (a historical typo culminating in Balmer Lawn). The name is mentioned in the Doomsday Book – how's that for history! Originally built in the mid 1800's as a hunting lodge, the Balmer Lawn is a classic Country House Hotel set in the very heart of the New Forest National Park. Undoubtedly this is one of the most iconic buildings in the New Forest National Park!
The Wilson Family celebrated twenty years of ownership of the Hotel in 2017. Chris & Alison have retained the traditions of a warm welcome, comfortable rooms and wonderful food.
Dogs Policy
The New Forest is an ideal location for all of the family, including the dog, and we are proud to recognize them as an important member of many families.
There are dog friendly rooms in the superior room category. Please note there is a nightly charge of £25 for each dog, this includes a welcome letter, bowls, bed, towel, poo bags, treats, and a breakfast sausage each morning of their stay!
We ask that dogs are always kept on a lead inside the Hotel and remain with their families even during meal times. We do offer pet friendly dining options in our lounge, bar or on the terrace, but we do not allow dogs in Beresfords restaurant or in the indoor leisure facilities.
Maximum of two dogs per room
