History

The lawn to the front of the Hotel was originally called Palmers Lawn and appears on early documents related to William the Conqueror.

The hunting lodge became a coaching inn during the mid-1800s. Situated on the coast road to Lymington and the road leading to Beaulieu, it proved an ideal resting-place for travellers throughout the Forest.

The building was commandeered during both World Wars. During World War I the hotel was used as a field hospital. Some still remember injured soldiers being wheeled on luggage trolleys from Brockenhurst Train Station to the hotel.

In the Second World War, the hotel was transformed into an Army Staff College. Some of the "Orders for the Day" were issued by General Eisenhower from the hotel lawn for the "D Day" invasion.
