Luxury Family Hotels Set To Relaunch New Park Manor in The New Forest

New Park Manor, part of the Luxury Family Hotels collection, will re-open its doors in April 2024 following a significant renovation.

The New Forest property, located just outside Brockenhurst, will undergo a full refurbishment of all 25 rooms and public areas including The Vinery and Stag restaurant spaces, the expansive family-friendly spa and multitude of children’s facilities such as the Ofsted-registered Four Bears Den children’s club. Luxury Family Hotels operates 5 different hotels in the South-West of England and is a sister company to The Grove, part of The Leading Hotels of The World Collection.

Heading up the design is the team at StudioJill who have worked with the collection across Fowey Hall and Moonfleet Manor, which both relaunched last year. Her inspiration comes from the property’s roots as King Charles II’s hunting lodge and ancient New Forest folklore, working with a palette of Autumnal woodland hues and earthy tones.

The Vinery Restaurant, set off the reimagined reception, blends rustic charm with contemporary design. Filled with natural light, the space will feature an earthy palette of green, brown, rust, and weathered oak, creating a calming, informal space for guests to enjoy breakfast and afternoon tea. The Stag Restaurant and Bar, a blend of country style and richer textures, will provide a more elevated experience for evening cocktails and dinner.

The family-friendly spa which caters to children as young as 3 years old with their newly introduced ‘Little ishga’ treatments, will emulate clean, Scandi-inspired design, creating a serene setting for the whole family.

Set back from the outdoor pool, the expansive spa terrace introduces two new hot tubs and a snug with floor-to-ceiling glass windows for the very best view of the New Forest. Back inside, the spa will benefit from the addition of a new Somadome – a technology-enabled meditation pod.

Inspired by the forest and woodland, the rooms will feature a mix of textured fabrics and patterned wallpaper and incorporates a playful use of nooks and secret spaces, designed with little ones in mind.

Throughout the property’s design, guests will notice a subtle nod to Alice in Wonderland, with whimsical mushrooms painted on the walls and distorted checks dotted around; this is particularly noticeable in the Ofsted-registered Four Bears Den, where children can immerse themselves in an array of fun-filled activities.
