History of the hotel
The hotel's name is taken from the lawn at the front of the hotel, originally thought to have been called Palmers Lawn (a historical typo culminating in Balmer Lawn). The name is mentioned in the Doomsday Book – how's that for history!
Originally built in the mid 1800's as a hunting lodge, the Balmer Lawn is a classic country house hotel set in the very heart of the New Forest National Park. Undoubtedly this is one of the most iconic buildings in the New Forest.
The Wilson Family will be celebrated 25 years of ownership of the hotel in 2022. Chris & Alison have retained the tradition of a warm welcome, comfortable rooms and wonderful food.
