Nestled on the western edge of the glorious New Forest National Park, the charming coastal town of Lymington offers the perfect blend of seaside life and forest adventures and right in the heart of it all stands a beautifully restored gem, The White Hart.
This Grade II listed building, established in the late 1700s, has recently been lovingly brought back to life by Heartwood Inns, transforming it into a truly warm and welcoming spot that’s perfect for locals and visitors exploring the New Forest.
Walk through the doors and you’ll instantly feel the blend of rich history and modern comfort. The sensitive refurbishment has preserved the building’s gorgeous historic features - think original beams and inviting fireplaces - while infusing it with a stylish, cosy feel. Whether you’re settling into one of the traditional bar snugs for a pint or enjoying a meal in the airy, light-filled dining spaces, The White Hart feels like a home away from home.
The team at The White Hart are passionate about serving up delicious, freshly prepared food with a focus on seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients. The menu is a celebration of the best produce, featuring everything from seasonal à la carte dishes to their popular Sunday roasts complete with bottomless trimmings.
The White Hart is a true community hub. It’s an ideal spot to start or finish your New Forest adventures.
