If you’re looking for a friendly pub stay right by the New Forest, The Mortimer Arms is a great base. We’re a traditional country inn on the edge of the National Park, just off the M27 at Junction 2 and next to the entrance for Paultons Park – handy for weekend escapes, midweek business trips and family breaks alike.
A proper pub with rooms
Our place is a Victorian inn with a relaxed bar, a spacious restaurant and 14 guest rooms upstairs. Rooms are individually styled and comfortable, with en-suite showers and king-size beds. We have 2 suites, 3 superior and 9 standard rooms, with space for extra beds in most rooms for families.
What makes staying here easy
- Location – step out to the New Forest for woodland walks and wildlife, or wander next door to Paultons Park if you’ve got little ones in tow.
- Breakfast that sets you up – served 7am to 10am daily, so early birds and slow starters are both covered.
- Good food downstairs – a cosy country bar and restaurant serving crowd-pleasing classics and seasonal dishes, so you can keep evenings simple and relaxed.
Who our pub rooms suit
- Couples after a quiet New Forest break with walks by day and a glass of something by the fire in the evening.
- Families visiting Paultons Park – book a family set-up and stroll back after the rides. paultonsbreaks.com
- Business travellers who prefer character over chain hotels, with an easy hop to the motorway.
Simple ideas for your stay
- Do a forest loop – explore one of the waymarked trails, spot the famous New Forest ponies, then head back for supper.
- Make it a two-day break – mix a day in the National Park with a day at Paultons Park for the kids, and use us as your base.
