There's cosy, and then there's cosy by the fire 🔥

Nothing beats settling into a comfortable seat, listening to the gentle crackle of the fire and letting the outside world slow down for a little while

As the evenings get colder, there's no better place to unwind than here at The Bell Inn

A warm welcome, a cosy atmosphere and perhaps a little something to enjoy while you're here

Come in, get comfortable and stay a while!

A little reminder - this Saturday! 🐶

The New Forest Bloodhounds will be joining us here at The Bell Inn on Saturday 14th November from 10:45am!

Come along to meet the beautiful bloodhounds, enjoy some breakfast and watch them set off on their human runners trail.

We'll have a horse box serving bacon baps, sausage baps, tea and coffee, with our restaurant and Bramshaw Golf Club also open for cooked breakfasts.

Just to reassure everyone, this is a 100% human-runner-only hunt, also known as hunting the clean boot. The hounds follow the natural scent of a human, with no animals or artificial scents involved. They are Bloodhounds, not drag hounds or foxhounds, and at the end they'll simply find their runner and enjoy plenty of happy licks and slobbery kisses!

We'd love to see you there for a lovely morning with good food and these beautiful hounds! 💛

We've had a sighting! 👀🎄

It looks like our famous elves have started making an appearance around The Bell Inn!

We're sure they're already plotting even more mischief than last year, but what exactly they've got planned remains a mystery...

I suppose we'll just have to wait until 1st December to find out!

Keep your eyes peeled... you never know where they might pop up next!

A little reminder: The New Forest Bloodhounds Clean Boot is happening here at The Bell Inn!

On Saturday 14th November, we’re delighted to be welcoming the New Forest Bloodhounds Human Runners Hunt to The Bell Inn!

Join us from 10:45am to meet the beautiful bloodhounds, enjoy some breakfast and watch them set off on their human runners trail.

Feeling hungry? We’ll have a horse box serving delicious bacon baps, sausage baps, tea and coffee. Our restaurant and Bramshaw Golf Club will also be open for anyone wanting to sit down and enjoy a cooked breakfast.

We know there can sometimes be misunderstandings about bloodhound hunting, so we want to make things clear:

🐾 This is a 100% human-runner-only hunt, also known as “hunting the clean boot”. This means the hounds follow the natural scent of a human, with no animals involved and no artificial scent used.

🐾 And at the end of the hunt? The hounds simply find the runner and cover them in happy licks and slobbery kisses!

🐾 Please note: These are Bloodhounds, not drag hounds or foxhounds.

We’d love to see you on Saturday 14th November for a lovely morning with the hounds, good food and the chance to watch them set off.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

The Bell Inn Team 🐶💛
