The Old Vicarage Hotel

The Old Vicarage Hotel has been converted and refurbished and all the seven bedrooms are en-suite and have colour television, tea and coffee making facilities.

The Cricketers bar area is full of memorabilia from the era, and the comfortable dining room extends to the conservatory where intimate dining is extremely popular.

This is open to non-residents.

Lunch and dinner is freshly prepared by our highly reputed chef and the menu changes frequently throughout the season.

The Old Vicarage Hotel was originally built in the mid 1850s as the replacement for the famous Cat and Fiddle Public House. It was turned into the Vicarage by Sir George Meyrick the landlord and keen cricketer who introduced Rev. Hatton the new Vicar, and an all round cricketer, to the Parish, not only to boost Christianity, but to strenghthen his middle order batting in Sir George's cricket team!

We are situated on the edge of Hampshire's New Forest, one mile from the beach and close to local amenities, which include Walks, Golf, Fishing, Horse Riding, Sailing and Windsurfing. We also have our own cricket pitch in the grounds, ideal for cricket tours.

Hinton is close to the historic towns of Christchurch, Winchester, Lyndhurst, Dorchester and Salisbury, and for shopping, Bournmouth and Southampton. London is approximately one hour and thirty minutes away by train with easy access at Hinton Admiral Station just 500 yards away from the hotel. There is also a main bus route.

The Hotel is set in beautiful gardens and woodlands stretching over ten acres. Most of the shrubs and trees were planted at the time it was built, and Kew Gardens have been known to take some of the rare cuttings for their establishment.

The gardens are the most idyllic setting for weddings. The hotel boasts its own Marquee, able to seat 107 guests for the wedding breadfast, and 150 guests for a social function in the evening. All the catering is produced from the kitchens and our experienced friendly staff are on hand to ensure a memorable day.
