Little Donkey Package
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, the New Forest becomes a wonderfully peaceful place to escape. Winter here is a season of quiet woodland walks and slower moments, making it the perfect time to enjoy a short break.
From 1st November to 31st January, Stanwell House invites you to experience it all with our new Little Donkey Package. Nestled in the heart of Lymington, our boutique hotel combines contemporary style with a welcoming atmosphere. After checking in, you can relax with a drink in Salt Bar or enjoy a relaxed evening in Samphire, our restaurant that showcases seasonal dishes inspired by the coast and forest, with a £50 per person allowance included. The following morning, a hearty cooked breakfast will be served alongside a generous continental buffet, giving you the best start to your day.
The highlight of the package is the Donkey Goodnight Experience at Brockenhurst Donkey Walks. Over the course of 30 minutes, you will help prepare four donkeys for bed, checking them over, offering a cuddle, feeding them their supper, and settling them into the barn for the night. It is a simple, heart-warming experience that captures the charm of the New Forest in a unique way.
Available from £345 per room, per night, the Little Donkey Package offers a memorable winter escape, combining comfort at Stanwell House with one of the area’s most endearing traditions. To book your stay, please contact us directly via phone or email.
