About The Shoe Inn

Salisbury Road runs quietly through Plaitford, with the woodland and heathland of the New Forest close by and Salisbury Cathedral and Winchester both within easy reach. The Shoe Inn sits among this Hampshire countryside, a straightforward base for exploring on foot, by bike or on horseback, with walking and cycling routes nearby and stables for horse riding close at hand too.

Rooms are en-suite and simply equipped, with drinks available in room, and the property runs on 24 hour reception so arrival times are flexible. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals and evening drinks, breakfast is served each morning, and a games room gives guests somewhere to spend a spare hour. Free WiFi covers the building, and meeting rooms are available for those combining the stay with work.

Free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go, whether that's off to Winchester for the day or just down the road to one of the local pubs and restaurants. Pets are welcome, and entertainment and a golf course can be found nearby too, rounding out a stay built around the surrounding forest and villages rather than the inn itself.
