We recently stayed at The Three Lions in Fordingbridge and had a really lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and relaxed, making it a perfect getaway for the two of us. One of the highlights of our stay was having our own private hot tub. It was such a great touch and made the whole trip feel extra special—ideal for unwinding and enjoying some quiet time together. In the morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return. It’s a charming spot with thoughtful touches that made our visit memorable.

Second stay at the Three Lions. Lovely Inn - friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly. Good menu options. There was no hot water in the wash basin - which marred an otherwise pleasant stay.
