We went for lunch in the bar and the food was great and the service top notch. We have been many times before and the bar is a lovely informal setting with restaurant quality food. Even better is that there are plenty of gluten free options and the staff were very good with my Coeliac wife and we felt confident that she could eat safely. Highly recommended if you are in the New Forest.

Just had lunch here and could not fault it. The staff were amazing and accommodating to us in a party of 3 adults, 2 children and a dog without a booking. Food was great too. Highly recommend and will visit again.

Had my recent wedding here, and Eva, the manager and wedding coordinator, helped us and walked us through everything in the planning of the wedding. Extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to planning. During the wedding, the staff were outstanding! quick, helpful and friendly. My now husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing as they did everything. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, my husband and I had the Bridal Suite (room 12) which was perfect as it gave the most natural light, plenty of room for our photographer, hairstylist, myself, mother and maid-of-honour. Breakfast was brought to our room the day of and the day after the wedding, and the Wedding breakfast was cooked to perfection! If you want a rustic, romantic, relaxed and friendly wedding, I recommend booking with The bell Inn as they were outstanding. Equally if you are just looking for a wonderful place to stay to visit the New Forest and surrounding area, I highly recommend The Bell Inn for a great location, as it is just off the M27.

Had lunch with friends here today and delighted to see an old friend Jess , tending the bar. Had a super meal which we all enjoyed. Our waiter Aiden was top notch , attentive but not intrusive. Obviously the January special is very special and I hope they do it again real soon. It’s a winner.

My daughter and I had a night at the Bell Inn and played the Forest Course. The Inn is great. Staff were very helpful, dinner was excellent, breakfast was awesome and our room was beautiful. The Forest Course is spectacular and a truly unique golf experience. Our room was huge, with really comfortable beds and a very clean and well equipped bathroom. The shower was hot and powerful which is always good. The toiletries were great, there was an iron and hairdryer and a massive TV. It was a great room to relax in after a day of golf. My daughter is vegetarian and the veggie breakfast was brilliant. I had the steak and wine deal, and we both agreed the chips were probably the best we've ever had. Nothing to complain about at all. The location is great and easy to get to from the motorway. A fantastic night away for both of us that we will always remember.
