Awarded a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2014, The Carpenters Arms has carved out a great reputation for home-cooked food and well-kept ales. Its scenic setting plays a part in the magic too – the picturesque village of Bransgore is a gateway to the New Forest.

An escape to the New Forest is about getting away from it all – but that doesn’t have to mean missing out on the football! We’ve got Sky and BT Sport channels showing all the big live games, plus a pool table and darts board to make your own sporting entertainment.

With wonderful woodland and even award-winning beaches in this part of the world, the New Forest is a great area to explore. A hearty lunch at The Carpenters Arms will set you up for a day of adventuring.
