New Forest Adventure / Monday 11th May to 15th May 2026

Following our very successful visit this year to The Grange hotel at Sherborne, planning has begun for our 2026 short break ….. Dorset theme.

We plan to stay at The Moorhill House Hotel, Burley which is a small luxury hotel in the heart of the New Forest from Monday 11th May to Friday 15th. The Hotel has similar characteristics to “The Grange” both in style, price and location. It has ample parking for our cars.

The hotel is located in the heart of the New Forest but close to Lyndhurst, Lymington and Brockenhurst. This will allow us time to plan some very interesting days. Getting to the hotel from Sussex would be between 2 and 2.5 hours (about 90 miles) so closer than Sherborne.

I have provisionally booked up to 20 rooms out of the total of 35 rooms but as you  would expect they will need to know the exact number of rooms. The New Forest is very popular so I have to make the final arrangements soon.

The deal is based on a corporate rate ( a good discount ) and have set out the terms below. All prices include VAT.

Classic Room

4 nights incl breakfast £560 ( single room rate £480)

Superior Room

4 nights incl breakfast £620

We included an evening meal at the Grange for the Monday (arrival day) and the Thursday (night before departure). This cost would be £36 for 2 courses or £45 for three. For other nights members could make their own choice of where to eat.

These prices are very similar to our Sherborne hotel and in summary a classic room including breakfast plus a two course evening meal for the  two nights ( couple) would cost ( £560 plus £144  ) a total of £704.

A £50 deposit ( non refundable) is required with the balance payable 30 days before we arrive.

Please let me know by Friday 22nd August if you would like to come but please look at the website to see what a really nice hotel it is. I am looking for about the same numbers as we attracted in May this year.
