Hotel Original White Hart, Ringwood by Marston's Inns (Ringwood, United Kingdom)

Original White Hart is a pet-friendly hotel, which is wonderful for those who like to travel with their favourite four-legged friends. Your dog will love it too because there are lots of great walks to be had nearby.

Not only does this hotel feature several family rooms, but the restaurant offers a children’s menu, which makes it easy to get the little ones fed. The beach is only 12 miles away and Ringwood is a charming little town with lots of parks and kid-friendly attractions nearby, making this a great place to stay with the entire family.

This is a non-smoking property which is great if you don’t imbibe and like your accommodations smelling fresh rather than like stale, second-hand smoke.

Rooms located above the pub are subject to crowd noise that often goes late into the night. So if you’re looking for a good night’s sleep, be sure to book a room at the back of the property, well away from the pub downstairs.

The service in the restaurant can be quite slow at times, especially during peak season and on weekends. But once you are waited on, you’ll find that the food was certainly worth the wait.

Some of the guest rooms at Original White Hart are on the small side. So if you’re travelling with more than one person, have a lot of luggage in tow or need extra room to manoeuvre, be sure to mention this at check-in or when booking.
