Our Story

Owned by the Wilson family since 1997, Balmer Lawn welcomes guests from all walks of life; whether that’s delegates attending a business meeting, or an energetic family looking to enjoy a weekend full of activities.

As soon as our guests walk through the Balmer Lawn doors, they immediately become part of our family. From the very moment we welcome you to our hotel, you’ll enjoy a warm and inviting atmosphere before meeting our friendly staff members, who are passionate about ensuring that your experience is as personalised as possible.

We’re passionate about making the most of our countryside, too; so, throughout our hotel, you’ll enjoy nature-inspired cuisine and beautiful views of the New Forest.

Welfare & Values

At Balmer Lawn, we’re committed to ensuring that we regularly make positive contributions to the world around us. Whether that’s by dedicating ourselves to day-to-day eco-friendly practises, conserving energy or regular litter picking, it’s important to us that we maintain the natural beauty that the New Forest holds so close to its heart.

We’re also passionate about growing our very own herbs to use in our lovingly made dishes, and ensuring that we source our ingredients from quality suppliers.

Sustainability

The New Forest has long been recognised as a beautiful place, rich in history and wildlife habitats, and an oasis of calm in a busy world. Its designation as a National Park gives it the highest level of landscape protection.

The following websites cover the critical work local communities and authorities do to ensure the area remains protected.
