BALMER LAWN HOTEL & SPA 01590 625 779 | www.balmerlawnhotel.com For couples looking for a romantic postcard setting, Balmer Lawn Hotel & Spa is a must-see space. Set back behind a cricket pitch, the iconic venue has the perfect mixture of traditional and contemporary styles. With sun-drenched terraces and beautiful gardens, lovebirds will be spoilt for choice when it comes to stunning backdrops. Looking out over the lawn, the impressive building boasts a fascinating past and has been used as everything from a hunting lodge and a field hospital to an army staff college and coaching inn. As an award-winning destination for weddings, pairs can exchange vows in the garden’s oak-beamed Sylvan Pavilion. Or, why not opt for the Beaulieu Suit with 140 loved ones? Set back from the main Hotel with its own entrance and facilities, the suite includes the refurbished Beaulieu Room, the Hamble space with a bar and dancefloor as well as the Avon area for extra seating. There’s access to three outdoor terrace areas as well, including the hotel gardens. In the evenings, newlyweds can party the night away with up to 220 family and friends. We love… the beautiful high-ceilinged Savernake Room, the light and airy space with a private decked terrace is ideal for intimate weddings or post-vows drinks.
