Fodor's Expert Review Rufus House

Personal service and easy access to the New Forest are the draws at this turreted Victorian house close to Lyndhurst run by a Japanese-Italian couple. The pastel-walled rooms are simply furnished but bright, airy, and spotlessly clean—opt for one of the two larger rooms in the turret, both with four-poster beds, if available. A deck overlooks the gardens and the New Forest is across the road. Yoga and mindfulness workshops are available.
