Gerard and Nina Basset, co-founders of the highly successful Hotel du Vin chain (and, to boot, a Master of Wine and former hotel inspec- tor respectively), purchased the hotel in 2007 and renovated it with a contemporary feel, using the style and imagination of local craftspeople. With a team of friendly and helpful staff, this welcom- ing hotel really has the feel good factor and we are sure you will love it as much as we do! Gourmet food matched with delicious wine In a bustling open kitchen, inspired by the Basset’s love of California wine country, head chef, Gavin Barnes creates delicious modern dishes, which have a Californian twist. Gavin forages in the forest for certain ingredients and his preferred choice of food is organic and free-range, sourced from local New Forest suppliers. The wine to accompany your dinner (1/2 bottle per person) will be specially selected by Gerard Basset, winner of Sommelier of the Year 2010, and his award winning wine team, who will be on hand with a wealth of wine knowl- edge and unstuffy advice. The hotel has had excellent reviews in the press and is featured in The Good Hotel Guide 2016 and many ‘best of’ lists including 100 Ultimate British Hotels, Sunday Times 2013 (foodie category).
