Grown up Getaways In The New Forest
We are not downplaying the joy of a family holiday with the children, however sometimes a grown up getaway is needed.
Whilst a backpack full of baby wipes, hand sanitizer and snacks, one hand carrying a scooter and the other pushing a buggy has its place, sometimes it would be nice to swap the scooter with a book, the buggy with a glass of wine and the backpack… well that can be left at home whilst you enjoy a couple of days of child-free bliss at a spa hotel.
This important time away from the kids provides time to reconnect, rest and unwind in an environment of calm, where self-care and me-time is the name of the game.
So how should you spend this much needed time wisely? Allow us to tell you of the many ways you can fully embrace your grown up getaway at New Forest spa hotel, Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa:
SPAvelous time together
Spend some time at the award-winning SenSpa, a Thai spa renowned for its first class service, world class hydrotherapy facilities and calming surroundings. Swim a few lengths in the 14m UV treated swimming pool and explore the hydrotherapy pool, experience showers, crystal steam room, Tepidarium and Laconicum rooms.
After you’ve soaked away your stresses in our spa facilities it’s time to experience a sensual treatment at the hands of our Thai trained therapists. We recommend:
A table for 2 please!
With 3 restaurants on site you needn’t leave the hotel to seek delicious cuisine of the highest standard. Sample the delights of some of the finest Thai food in Hampshire at The Zen Garden, delicious flavours of France at Le Blaireau, or perhaps a taste for modern-British dining at Cambium.
Discover your adventurous side
We believe there are few better vantage points for enjoying views of the New Forest than from the comfort of a bicycle seat. Cycling is liberating, fun and a must during your visit to the forest and what makes your cycling adventure even better is what you’ll return to after a long day of exploration.

Take a romantic stroll
Wander quietly over the New Forest heathland and take your time to reconnect and admire the beauty of this majestic National Park. You’ll see the famous New Forest ponies, cattle, deer and pigs foraging for acorns, as well as a beautiful landscape awash with a riot of reds and golds as the Autumn leaves fall from the trees.
After your forest walk, how about a delicious afternoon tea in the comfort of our lounge or perhaps a refreshing cocktail at the bar?

Have a digital detox
Research by Ofcom revealed that Brits spend more time looking at screens than they do sleeping. Other studies have linked prolonged screen time with physical health concerns such as obesity and diabetes, as well as mental health concerns such as social isolation and anxiety. Having constant access to technology, specifically smartphones, can prevent us from making personal connections. We’re social beings and maintaining deep and meaningful connections with each other, with nature and with our self are so important for our long-term health.
We’ve created a break for those looking for a luxurious tech-free escape that prioritises wellbeing and mindfulness this summer. Our digital detox break is all about disconnecting to reconnect – with yourself, a partner, or friends. Swap your smartphone for a walk amongst ancient trees, time to unwind in the spa, and dinners full of great conversation.
