De Vere Venues: New Place, Shirrell Heath, Southampton

This weekend I'm enjoying an Easter retreat at a delightful hotel near Southampton.  It caters to lone travellers as well as families, and my single bedroom is spacious and comfortable.  The staff are friendly and helpful - when I discovered the pillows were luxurious goose down, I asked if I could have them swapped for non-allergenic pillows and within a very short space of time, the duty manager appeared with crisp new pillows.

The photo above is looking out from the main house (the old mansion).  Below is a photo of the carving on the newel post.
