New Place

Tranquil Country Retreat with Easy Access to Concert Action

Modern meets historic at New Place—a unique hotel just outside Winchester, set in 32 acres of picturesque parkland. This Grade I listed manor house blends traditional charm with modern amenities, including a conference center, fitness room, and indoor pool. With the M3 and M27 motorways nearby and Southampton only 11 miles away, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to escape the city buzz after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set just a short drive from Southampton’s major music venues, New Place offers a peaceful post-concert retreat while still keeping you connected with fast road and rail links. The countryside setting means low noise levels—perfect if you’re winding down after a night of live music. The 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out give you flexible timing, especially helpful if you’re arriving late or recovering in the morning. Free high-speed WiFi and on-site parking make it even easier for fans on the move.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a scenic weekend near the music scene
• Solo travelers attending a bucket-list gig in Southampton or Winchester
• Couples making a romantic getaway out of a concert experience
• Fans seeking quiet after a high-energy event
• Budget-conscious guests who don’t mind a short drive for savings and serenity

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s restaurant and bar are located in the main manor house, offering a cozy and elegant atmosphere to grab a bite or unwind with a drink after the show. While there isn't confirmed late-night dining or 24/7 room service, the on-site setup makes it easy to enjoy pre-show meals or post-concert nightcaps. Breakfast is served on-site—perfect for late risers.

Nightlife Options

The vibe here is more relax-and-recharge than party-all-night, but you're within easy reach of Southampton’s bustling nightlife if you’re looking to keep the evening going. On-site, the bar in the manor house makes a great spot to sip something local and recap the night with friends.

What People Say

Guests love the charming architecture, peaceful setting, and spacious grounds. Many highlight the friendly staff, comfortable beds, and value for money. The location is often praised for its tranquility, yet still convenient for the motorway and airport.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that the rooms are located a short walk (about 100 meters) from the main manor house, which may be a downside on rainy nights. Also, those looking for a lively on-site nightlife scene may find it a bit too quiet. But for most concert-goers, that’s exactly the point.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a peaceful, affordable, and stylish base within easy reach of Southampton’s music venues, New Place delivers countryside charm with concert-friendly convenience.
