The Bourne Valley Inn has nine elegant rooms decorated in calming tones of pale green, creams and greys, and all are named after the lakes, brooks and rivers in this beautiful corner of rural Hampshire. Quirky details, such as colourful lamps and lux wallpaper, add interest, while little touches such as mini blackboard 'Do Not Disturb' signs and tea trays with proper tea and coffee give a homely feel.
For a restful sleep, flop onto the sumptuous Feather & Black pillows and bedding, and refresh yourself in the bathroom with natural Bramley products. The twin Keepers' room and double Priory room can be connected to provide extra privacy and space - perfect for families or large groups.
In an area with trout-rich rivers, it's no surprise that fish is a specialty on the menu. Local game is also a mainstay, so expect plenty of tempting traditional fare with a farm-fresh countryside twist. The food, which has earned the BVI an AA rosette, is served in their elegantly restored barn, which has the feel of a luxury countryside farmstead, complete with sumptuous leather chairs and restored wooden tables.
If the weather's fine, you can sun yourself in the adjoining beer garden with a drink in hand. As well as local ales and fine wines, the bar serves an array of exceptional whiskies and offer cigars to accompany a wee dram in toast of a special event, or simply to relax after a long day out fishing.
For larger events, the renovated barn, which includes a bright and spacious dining area and huge windows overlooking the garden, is suitable for up to 80 guests. There's even a retractable dancefloor, making it perfect for weddings and birthday parties.
For more intimate affairs, such as a dinner party or family celebration, there is a private dining room available for up to 16 guests. There's also a private garden, perfect for a summer champagne reception or an ideal spot to enjoy a dram and a cigar. All the mod cons are on hand for corporate needs too, including wifi, flipcharts, large screen televisions and space for projector screens.
