About

Woodlands Hotel is a romantic country venue set in the heart of the New Forest, offering a peaceful and luxurious backdrop for couples seeking an intimate and traditional wedding. 

Licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, the hotel provides a choice of three elegant ceremony spaces, each with its own character and charm. The Woodlands Room seats up to 55 guests for a cosy, relaxed ceremony, whilst the Garden and Wedgewood Rooms can be combined to host up to 75 people for a sit-down meal.

The Garden Room is a light and airy orangery-style space with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lawns and woodland beyond, whilst the Wedgewood Room offers a more classic and traditional feel with neutral tones and wooden floors, ideal for an elegant reception or wedding breakfast. The Woodlands Room provides a more intimate option and works well for smaller groups or quieter, atmospheric vows. All rooms act as a blank canvas, allowing couples to style the space to suit their own vision, from rustic decor to romantic floral designs.

Couples can also opt for exclusive hire of the entire hotel for the night or the whole weekend, giving full access to the bedrooms, lounges and gardens. With on-site accommodation, an alcohol licence, confetti permitted and ample parking, Woodlands is well equipped for seamless celebrations. The knowledgeable in-house wedding coordinator is on hand throughout, supporting couples with everything from menu design to decor.

Surrounded by private gardens, woodland and direct access to the New Forest, Woodlands Hotel offers a charming and picturesque setting for a memorable countryside wedding.

Testimonials for Woodlands Hotel

A fairytale of a wedding!JUNE, 2026

We chose Woodlands Lodge for many reasons..Firstly, because it is a beautiful hotel and location in the New Forest. The large garden leads into the forest and wild ponies came to the hotel on Wedding morning!We didn't need to bring much decoration. We dressed the window in the room for the ceremony and the doors were opened into the gardens.The suite of rooms for getting ready was big enough for 6 bridesmaids and our Hairdresser. We could also meet the registrar there without the grrom getting a pee of the bride! It led out to its own private garden. The location was quiet at night. We had a mix of local friends, and family who had to travel. This meant we had an extended time with those who travelled. Dogs are welcome. A friend's dog sitter let them down so the dog came too.After our ceremony, we had photos in the lovely grounds and a sit down meal in the dining room with our closest friends and family. We went to a Blessing at the St Mary's Eling Church. We had a live band in the evening with the lights twinkling on the pergola and sparklers.We had a diverse set of needs that we felt the hotel accommodated. It has ramps for wheelchair users, all our diets were checked and catered for. We had several people with neurodiversities and we felt the layout with places to spread out and hide away were great.We wanted somewhere to be able to return to for special occasions.The wedding coordinators, Gina and Tilly, were fantastic and, with all the staff, helped us plan a fairytale of a day.
