ONE OF THE FRIENDLIEST PUBS IN THE NEW FOREST

Our Pub

A Family Run Pub

As in all our pubs the staff are very personable and offer a friendly welcome, always trying to accommodate special food, drink or any other requests to ensure everyone has a great experience.
Everyone is welcome, muddy boots, cyclists, children, dogs and of course horse riders – with 4 horse corrals in the garden!

History

The Royal Oak at Hilltop Beaulieu dates back to 1848, starting out as a quaint tearoom and accommodation for cyclists. Being situated just on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Beaulieu the location is ideal for walkers, cyclists, dog walkers and horse riders. The pub was totally refurbished retaining all of its original charm and beauty, with additions of a comfy seating area and a cosy snug!  Debbie and Duane Lewis have transformed the beautiful New Forest pub – keeping all of the original features of wood and brick, but adding their own personal touches.
