Services
The South Lawn Hotel is conveniently positioned between the New Forest National Park and the splendid Hampshire coastline. Just 10 minutes from the idyllic market town of Lymington, this country house is now a lovely, tranquil retreat. The majority of our 26 en-suite bedrooms have views over the gardens and beyond.
We have 26 en-suite bedrooms, all very similar and spacious. All rooms include colour tv, tea/coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board, fan and hairdryer which helps to save you packing those bulky items. Extra child beds and cots are also available upon request at an additional charge. Check in time is from 2pm as this allows for guests from the previous night to have departed and for us to prepare the rooms for you.
Our extensive grounds lend themselves well to team building and outdoor activities, so your event does not have to be all work and no play. Why not choose something a little different for your conference or celebration and enjoy the thrill of the grill? Throughout the summer months, South Lawn can hold private barbecues on the terrace overlooking the gardens, ideal for exclusive conference entertaining or a relaxed team build. Our self-contained Cornwallis Suite is located on the quiet side of the hotel, surrounded by gardens and overlooking the countryside.
We are experienced in offering respectful, compassionate and a caring service to help you mark what is ultimately an important occasion for friends and family. We make every effort to deal with your arrangements with the minimum of fuss to make what can be an extremely stressful process as relaxed and easy as possible for you.
Jaunt-E Super Monkey bikes are a little bit special. They combine cutting edge e-technology with a large dollop of retro style and iconic 1970's 'Chopper' vibes. Hop on board, engage your sense of adventure, and experience the New Forest and its coastline on these fun bikes. Super simple to ride, there's no need to avoid the hills or limit your journey when you have five levels of cheeky pedal assist at your fingertips.

All of the staff were friendly and very accommodating. of my dietary needs. Our dog was given a welcome pack on arrival. which also contained a letter from the owners dog outlining do's and don'ts. He was also welcomed and acknowledged by every member of staff and received a sausage for breakfast everyday. The hotel was cleaned to a high standard and the room cleaned and restocked daily. It is the personal and thoughtful touches. that helped make our stay so enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be stopping there again.

Absolutely stunning hotel. What a joy it has been for us to stay here. Tim & Nicky were fantastic from the minute we arrived until we left. When we arrived we were told the new part of the hotel was now open & we were the first guests to stay in the hotel room & I can honestly say, it is beautiful! Will definitely be returning, thanks so much for a perfect break.

Super friendly hotel in a perfect quiet location for visiting places around the New Forest. First time staying at a dog friendly hotel and we took our dogs. Very well catered for and they even got a doggy gift bag each from Roxy the resident dog . Stayed B&B but had a meal on our last night which was amazing. Oh and you can also buy the best ever fresh strawberries on the front green of the hotel!

2 weekend stay at the Southlawn Hotel. The hotel is in a stunning location, a few minutes from seaside and lovely views across to the Isle of Wight. The staff are absolutely exemplary, the room provided everything we required for our short stay. The menu offered an excellent selection to choose from, and the bar is fully stocked. Highly recommend a visit!. Julian and Helen.

We have stayed at the South Lawn Hotel several times over the last few years, except during the pandemic of course. Our recent stay last weekend was just as good as previously. The hotel is lovely and full of character. It's in a peaceful location close to Milford on Sea and makes a great base for touring the area. The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious with en suite, tv, fridge and tea/coffee making facilities.
The team are very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed and the hotel is dog friendly too. There is a comfortable lounge area and bar. They have an excellent restaurant called The Cedar Tree, which serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The atmosphere is relaxed and the menu varied with something for everyone, and they cater for people with special dietary needs as well.
The food is delicious and reasonably priced with generous portions. The service is excellent and very efficient, yet friendly. The hotel has a meeting room and caters for weddings too. We always look forward to staying here and will most certainly return again and again. We highly recommend The South Lawn Hotel.

An enjoyable experience at the South Lawn. Good location. Receptionist was a little direct but effective at her job. Outside of rooms hotel looks a tad dated. Rooms very nice, furnished well, comfortable beds. The highlight of the stay was the restaurant, dinner and breakfast was very good with overall fantastic service. A pleasant overnight stay.

Christmas present from our daughter that we finally got round to using. Our room was massive, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed even a mini fridge. Only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer. After staying in an awful and overpriced B and B in lymington this was luxurious. Will definitely return.
