Whether he’s a foodie, a thrill-seeker, or someone who simply enjoys a quiet moment of luxury, we’ve curated a selection of our top gift ideas for Dad that are more unique and heartfelt to make his day extra special. From personalised, fun experiences to an overnight stay at Stanwell House, our local area of Lymington offers ample opportunities to keep your dad entertained.
Read on to uncover some of our favourites:

Cycling Adventure Experience
When it comes to great Father’s Day present ideas, why not think outside the box?
Show your appreciation for him this Father’s Day by planning an exciting cycling adventure on e-bikes. Not far from our Stanwell House hotel, you’ll find bike hire in the New Forest offering a selection of scenic trails that wind through the breathtaking New Forest area, such as Jaunt E-Bikes. Build memories with each other as you pedal past wildlife and maybe even stop for a picnic.
For a truly memorable experience, why not rent their premium quality bikes and embark on a journey together? From just £35, this is a fantastic gift for dads who thrive on outdoor exploration.

Relaxation and Self-Care Kit
Everyone can do with some relaxation now and then — and dads are no exception!
So, this Father’s Day, why not encourage your dad to unwind with a thoughtfully curated homemade men’s self-care kit? Fill it with his favourite grooming essentials, a limited-edition cologne, and even his favourite snacks such as artisan chocolate or gourmet popcorn, for a personal touch! You could also include other things to relax him, such as scented candles, essential oils, a new book or even a little tipple!
To take it a step further, include a voucher for an overnight stay with us at Stanwell House. It’s the ideal way to remind him that relaxation is well-deserved and long overdue.
We promise to take good care of him by offering exceptional service, delicious food in our restaurant, and, not to mention, luxurious, comfy beds!

Brewery Tours
If your dad considers himself a beer connoisseur, why not treat him to an exciting brewery tour? Vibrant Forest Brewery runs tours on the last Saturday of every month, lasting about an hour to an hour and a half, that promise an immersive exploration of their brewing process.
Following an afternoon of beer tasting and brewery insights, join us afterwards to sample our exquisite collection of handcrafted whiskies! You could even pick some for him to take home and drink, and treasure your memories together.

Treat Your Dad to Fine Dining at Stanwell House
Does your dad appreciate life’s little luxuries? If so, we have the ultimate gift idea for you — a memorable trip to a fine dining restaurant!
At Stanwell House, we take pride in offering three distinctive dining experiences that cater to various preferences.
If your dad adores a delicious, high-quality meal, we recommend checking out either our Samphire restaurant or The Orangery. Or, if he prefers to indulge in traditional, gastropub food, our Salt Bar is the perfect option. If the sun is shining, you could also perch in our Garden and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.
While each location offers its own unique ambience and carefully curated menu, they are all united by a shared dedication to excellence, delivering exceptional food crafted from the finest ingredients, paired with outstanding service that ensures every guest feels truly valued and at home.

Spend Quality Time Together
When it comes to thoughtful Father’s Day gifts, spending quality time with your dad can be the ultimate present.
Instead of traditional presents, consider planning a memorable experience or an activity that you both can enjoy. This could be a fun hiking adventure, a friendly game of golf, or even a relaxed and cosy film night at home. These shared moments often become the memories that last a lifetime.
No matter what you choose, few things are better than spending quality time with your loved ones!
