Occupying a substantial former hunting lodge believed to date back to 1770, the three-storey detached building is set within three acres of manicured private gardens and surrounded by heathland, native ponies, and forest trails.
The hotel features 18 individually appointed en-suite guest bedrooms, a large reception area, lounge bar, function and conference rooms, high-specification commercial kitchen and Cattle Grid Restaurant, which offers locally grown and sourced menus as well as produce from its own kitchen garden.
Having been owned and operated by the current owners, Robert & Imogene Anglaret, for the past 13.5 years, Woodlands Lodge has built up a strong reputation, enjoying repeat business from both corporate and leisure guests, as well as having a strong local following and Visit Britain accreditation.
Imogene Anglaret, comments on the sale, “Whilst it is of course sad to have sold a business with which we have been involved with for almost 14 years, now is the right time to step back. We wish the new owners every success during their ownership of this profitable hotel in a picturesque location in the New Forest National Park. Most importantly we would like to thank the staff, with whom we have shared this memorable journey, for their hard work and dedication over the years.”
Ed Bellfield, Regional Director – managing the sale comments, “The sale of Woodlands Lodge Hotel represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a successful hotel business with significant repeat patronage, largely due to its continued ownership and continuity within the same family for the past 14 years. The reputation and success of the business is testament to the continued re-investment and family stewardship combined with its enviable location in picturesque New Forest National Park.”
The Hotel was sold off a guide price of £1,775,000.
