About The Bell Inn
Brook sits within the New Forest, a village setting well placed for walking, cycling and riding across the surrounding countryside, and this is where The Bell Inn makes its home. The hotel has 28 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and guests arriving by car can make use of free on-site parking.
The property runs a restaurant and bar on site, alongside breakfast, and rooms come with drinks and free WiFi. A garden gives guests somewhere to sit outdoors, and practical extras such as luggage storage and a laundry service are on hand for longer stays. Pets are welcome, making it a straightforward option for those travelling with dogs.
Beyond the inn itself, the local area offers golf, fishing and horse riding nearby, along with further pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach. Cycling and walking routes lead out into the forest itself, and entertainment options are available locally for evenings away from the hotel.
