A few years ago I went for dinner at a restaurant that I think was also a hotel in the New Forest. It's a lovely big old building that I remember as slightly faded. There were lots of stuffed animal heads and antlers on the walls, and a couple of Irish Wolfhounds ambling round. Does any know where this is? I was driven there and have absolutely no idea where it was. Thanks!

You might mean Balmer Lawn, just outside Brockenhurst – don't remember it being like that though, but it is 20 years since I went there.

And there was this lovely girl that I got on really well with and never saw again…

Nowhere near as lovely as MrsJulianA though, I hasten to add!

It could be Bramble Hill Hotel near Bramshaw

Ah, STW at it's best! Dobo, spot on, thank you very much. Wouldn't have found that through Google and I did try.

BBB – Balmer Lawn looks proper posh!

please report back if you go for a meal – near me, that

(Some fairly decent riding round that way too)

((sorry dobo 😳 ))
