In the heart of the New Forest, close to the river Lymington, stands Whitley Ridge, once a Royal Hunting Lodge, set in acres of open parkland. Now Le Poussin are taking their unbranded family run style to this, their second Georgian country house in the New Forest. They aim to bring yet more success to the Forest with their unpretentious manner, stylish upkeep and famously good food. 3 AA   Alex Aitken has established himself as the “Forest Chef”. The hotel can also arrange courtesy transport from Brockenhurst station to Simply Poussin, their brasserie in the village. Each bedroom is individually furnished; some have a steam cabin and hydrotherapy bath; most have stunning views of the forest, where it is not uncommon to see a herd of deer grazing, with buzzards circling your airspace and the constant green blanket of the forest enfolding you. The public rooms are elegant and relaxing with roaring log fires for the colder months. There is also a self-contained coach house, offering privacy with a service.
