Exclusively yours ...

Site visit date 3rd July 2024

Closed from January 2024, New Park Manor has been lovingly brought up to date by Luxury Family Hotels.?

Following a phased re-opening from late March it’s now fully opened and looking amazing with a couple of twists up its sleeve.

LFH’s has five properties in the group and, as the name suggests, is less corporately orientated and more aimed at families, but there lies its niche and, where there’s a corporate event brief, there’s a way.

Best corporate use of New Park Manor (or any of the other properties) would be exclusive use.

Ideal for

• informal style, house events
• brainstorming
• incentives

New Park Manor, New Forest …

Travel:

• Nearest train station is Brockenhurst, just an 1hour30 from London Waterloo (no changes) with the hotel being just 6minutes by car from Brockenhurst.
• An easy drive, mainly motorway from Camberley, Surrey, at just over an hour.
• Ample parking on-site including electric car charger spaces.

Accommodation:

The hotel, formerly a King Charles II Hunting Lodge, has 25 bedrooms each named after either people linked to King Charles II, local deer or trees found in the New Forest.

There are 6 cosy rooms and 19 larger rooms.? The accommodation is spread between the original manor house and the more contemporary wing with access to all accommodation possible from the manor house via a linking corridor so no walking outside to reach breakfast.

All rooms have air conditioning.

Meeting space:

The hotel doesn’t have specified meeting rooms but based on an exclusive use event you have all the space you need for plenary, breakouts and to give catering options too.

A quick run through the hotel:

You enter the hotel’s main entrance lobby, turn left and that’s where you’ll find reception, and to the left of reception is the Stag.

The Stag is the hotel’s main restaurant and one of the most obvious spaces to convert, with very little effort, into a meeting room.

It’s a lovely room with loads of natural daylight and direct access to an outside terrace.

Best suited to boardroom style, size-wise you’re looking at 14 boardroom, but for dining the restaurant has 30 covers.

Note – the Stag now does not have a door to close for privacy, but this is all planned and will be changed shortly.

Back at reception and to the right is the hotel’s main Lounge where you can grab a light bite , but this can also be used as meeting space.?

Ideal for group refreshments, as a registration area, for lunch, pre-dinner drinks or meeting space (formal or informal).? The lounge can also be divided into two and can also be used as breakout space either as a whole or as two separate rooms.

Again, a lovely space with loads of natural daylight.

The lounge menu is lovely, something for everyone, pizza, fish finger sandwiches with fries, Caesar salad.

Moving further again to the right of the hotel’s main entrance and towards the newer side of the hotel there are two small mezzanine lounge’s, again ideal for breakout sessions, planning and brainstorming.? Each can comfortably hold 6-8 people.

The hotel also has a second restaurant closer to the Spa, the Vinery, and, on an exclusive use basis, this is your breakfast restaurant, daytime refreshment/lunch area or another meeting room or breakout area.?

Covers-wise the restaurant can seat a total of 40 so 25 would be very comfortable and again there’s access to a terrace outside.

The hotel also has a cinema room with a large screen, chairs, and bean bags rather than cinema style seating.? An ideal breakout room, meeting room or indoor team building space.

Team Building

With direct access outside there is a patio area ideal for outdoor team building (the hotel have had corporate groups taking part in charitable team building exercises recently like activities that end with food bank donations and bike building with the finished bikes being sent overseas to where they are very much needed).

The hotel is surrounded by fields.? In fact the New Forest and Hampshire County Show takes place on these fields and, although they are not part of or owned by the hotel, there is scope to hire these grounds for more team building space and options.

And there are even more team building options as next to the hotel there is a Polo Club … ideal for team building or as a leisure activity if you wanted to offer your group a variety of activities to select from.

But you don’t even need to leave the hotel as, within the spa , there is both an indoor and an outdoor pool, 5 treatment rooms and a sonadome (one of only four in the UK)!

(Sonadome is a technology-enabled meditation pod.)

Outside there are two hot tubs with views over the fields and an outside den too.

There are loads of options and ways to use the space at New Park Manor.? Exclusive use, including catering is circa ￡9500 plus VAT.

Oh and, New Park Manor also has the largest rabbit I’ve ever seen.? Bertha wouldn’t look out of place in a large breed dog crate let alone a rabbit hutch!? She’s the size of a small dog and beautiful with it!
