Family holidays and breaks in Hampshire
|
Hampshire has lots to offer families considering a holiday together with a wide variety of family friendly establishments to stay, good places to eat and drink and set in some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. For a perfect combination of all three of these factors why not stay at the award-winning The Three Lions in the picturesque town of Fordingbridge. Run by a Michelin-starred chef this homely, family friendly restaurant and hotel is set within the stunning grounds of The New Forest National Park meaning that any over-indulgence in the restaurant can be easily offset by a scenic walk outside! Further south you’ll find Solent Breezes Holiday Park near Fareham where there are some great child friendly facilities with kids clubs, an outdoor heated pool, tennis courts and lots of family entertainment at the weekends. With the Isle of Wight just across the water there are some wonderful views out to sea not to mention the opportunity to participate in some fun water-based activities. |
