The Red Lion is a quintessential New Forest village pub, located in the lovely village of Boldre which offers a character holiday apartment above, which is available for a holiday or short break. The apartment offers exclusive residence of the first floor and provides accommodation for up to four guests in one bedroom - ideal for couples, small families or friends who want to holiday together.
Located within the New Forest, The Red Lion is situated close to the market town of Lymington, a yachting haven with good selection of eating establishments and independent shops (including some of the well known names) lining its quaint cobbled streets. From here you can take the ferry to the Isle of Wight for lunch.
Boldre is an exceptionally pretty New Forest village and makes a wonderful base from which to explore the Hampshire countryside and coastline. At the end of each day, you can return home to the attractive village setting and enjoy a nice meal and refreshment at the pub, either in the cosy beamed rooms with log fires, or outside in the pretty garden. Then slip away upstairs to your private apartment.
Located between the forest and the sea, Boldre makes a wonderful base for those who enjoy walking, horse riding, cycling and sailing. It is ideal for exploring the New Forest's many attractions including its pretty villages with quintessential thatched cottages and open heathland where ponies, donkeys and cattle graze.
For those wanting to travel a little further afield, the whole of Hampshire is easily accessible as is Dorset and the beaches of the South Coast.
