"Proactive and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere."
Overview
Set in Hampshire’s Fareham and close to Portsmouth, the New Forest and other attractions, this smart, purpose-built hotel enjoys a peaceful location. It offers a modern, light-filled place to stay that balances relaxed comfort with contemporary style. Interiors feel fresh and bright throughout, while the hotel’s standout spa provides a calm space to unwind, whether for a full day’s indulgence or a quick recharge. Dining is a central part of the experience, with the FYR restaurant showcasing fire-led cooking and bold dishes, alongside a more relaxed option at The Parsons Collar pub. In warmer months, the garden adds an easy, sociable dimension to the stay. Service is warm and approachable, creating a genuinely friendly atmosphere that suits both leisure breaks and business stays. With this strong food offering and focus on relaxation, it’s a well-rounded base on the south coast.

About the area
Hampshire’s varied landscape of hills and heaths, downlands and forests, valleys and coast are without rival in southern England. Hike across the chalk downland of the north Hampshire ‘highlands’, meander along peaceful paths through unspoilt river valleys of the Test, Itchen, Avon and Meon, or explore the lonely salt marshes and the beautiful medieval forest and heathland of the New Forest.
