“South Lawn Hotel strikes me as a balanced choice, nestled near New Forest National Park and the Hampshire coastline. Pet-friendly perks, like dedicated rooms and a dog paddock, stand out positively, as does the electric bike rental - a smart way to see the surroundings. The conference spaces certainly make it a contender for events, but the Cedar Tree Restaurant, with its local produce, could be the real draw.”
