The 23 best shopping and stores in New Forest National Park Hampshire

Highcliffe was brilliant, what a fantastic place to go! Every bit of it took my breath away, I couldn’t stop saying wow look at that. The zig zag to the beach was easy for anyone to use, the beach was amazing. When I went it was hot and sunny. No benches to sit on only big rocks or the beach. Can’t wait to go again and walk to the light house!!!

Got in at 1.15pm, and inside of castle tour was at 1.30pm. For only £3 extra was able to go into rooms not available to the public normally and get a really good storytelling volunteer guide named Sue. Very interesting and engaging. Exploring after that the grounds and eating cake were a plus. Love how its dog friendly for the cafe and their selection of food. Quite a historic place, very happy to have randomly found it on the map and making a detour.

Highcliffe Castle was built between 1831 and 1836 by Lord Stuart de Rothesay. Vast quantities of medieval French masonry was shipped across the channel and used in its construction, making it appear older than it actually is. Kings, Queens and the rich and famous have all stayed here over the years. The castle interior was destroyed by fire in the 60s but grants from Heritage and Lottery funding have been used in its restoration. It's a truly beautiful building with so much history! There's a lovely walk down to Highcliffe Beach as well.

Highcliffe Castle is a beautifully restored building located just back from the seafront on the Dorset Coast. Well worth a visit. Plenty of open space for children and dogs to run about. There are tours inside the house if you wish to pay for a ticket and explore the rooms. There is a lovely café/restaurant on site with outdoor and indoor seating. Very clean well maintained toilets too. I should imagine it can get very busy at peak times, although there is a good amount of parking space. A short walk to the nearby beach is available. Usually very quiet, and dog friendly as it is away from nearby Mudeford and Christchurch.

Looks magnificent on the outside but a bit disappointing on the inside in my opinion. Has been restored post 2 fires in the 60's but not quite back to its former glory, I don't mind the brick wall etc.but the modern style staircase just doesn't suit the style.

Amazing! Before you start your journey you can watch a very short informational video. Only issue I had was there was no reset for the video. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Really impressive castle right next to the beach. I didn’t have the opportunity to go inside but it is free to walk all around the castle. You can have a lovely walk around the garden and access the cafe + castle shop at the rear of the castle. The castle is in walking distance of the beach where you can either take the stairs or an accessible route - the “zig-zag path” which is really convenient if you don’t want to tire yourself out by taking the stairs! There is parking on site.

Popped in for a coffee. It was very expensive and never felt so unwelcome as a paying customer! I left feeling like a huge inconvenience! £7.50 for a homemade biscuit and coffee!

Today I went to Britford Farm Shop as I was hoping to be able to buy some fresh local products. I must admit I was quite disappointed when I entered the “shop” I expected to find a proper farm shop, but it is definitely just a Tea Room and as such it is very nice. So if you are after a place to stop for something to eat, or some coffee and cake, this is probable a very nice stop, but if you are after a farm shop this is definitely not the place to visit. There is a selection of jams, chutneys, some chocolate and a small selection of cheese but not the usual selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs etc you would expect to find in a Farm Shop.

Lovely cafe very good menu and a lot of local produce. Highly recommended cafe.

Stunning teas & lovely little shop full with top quality goods!

It's a nice little tea room and was quite busy. Doesn't open weekends, which I find a bit odd. The food was nice, but it is a cafe for adult tastes. It doesn't really do simple food for kids' tastes. They were helpful about this and made suggestions and were accommodating, but life would be a little easier if they just put a sausage roll, basic ham, or cheese sandwich on the menu. This was something the staff seemed aware of, so I don't think I'm the only parent who's had this problem. Farm shop doesn't exist.

Lovely atmosphere and tasty food! I had to order ahead as I was on a work lunch break so short on time. They didn’t seem ideally setup for this, but to be fair food didn’t take long at all after we arrived. Food was amazing quality and freshly made (only gripe was my pie was a tad small). When we ordered pudding we were told we’d have a long wait as there were customers waiting before us, even though all it took was to put a slice of cake on a plate and let us walk out with it.. Some wasps in the orchard, but not much that can be done about that. Told they don’t do cooked breakfast which feels like a missed opportunity (they don’t open till 10:30am and it’s not a working farm anymore apparently). Got told off when bringing my tray back (trying to be helpful), as apparently you take it round the side; appreciation for the effort and a gentle suggestion would have been nice. Generally a lovely visit and took advantage of the eat out to help our so got it half price, therefore can’t complain too much. Some tweaks to allow online table booking and food ordering, and instant handing out of simple desserts (with slightly more gracious attitudes from staff), and it would be 5 stars!

Positive and upbeat staff, food worth every penny and then some. A really enjoyable café for a really tasty spot of lunch!

My husband has shopped here since 2020 for pork pies every time we come to the New Forest. Today he asked me to get them for him. I spied vegetarian scotch eggs, homemade coleslaw and potato salad, so I purchased these too. I've just eaten the best salad ever! I usually make my own salads but these were better than I've made and I didn't spend hours chopping and mixing. The scotch egg has an oozing yolk and was amazing. Definitely going to stock up again before we head home.

Really good selection of meats, fresh veg, cakes and local beers. They also have a few hard to find imported bits such as RJs. The shop is a decent size and in two sections, the staff we spoke to were very friendly and happy to talk to locals/visitors to the area as equal, also giving good advice on the area. Very friendly atmosphere with a laid back approach. Pricing of the products is about right for a traditional local farm shop, usually low reviews moan about pricing on these sort of places but the quality and freshness of the local produce really is worth the extra and the money goes straight back into local people and the hard work they put in to get this food in. Compared to my local farm shops on the IOW I would say this is really up there with the best ones I've used, worth a visit and treat yourself to something local!

A lovely range of quality food with a separate meat counter, high quality fresh vegetables, and some great cooked produce. There's now seating out back for a coffee and something to eat.

Couldn’t even get a loaf of bread. Rude staff. The layout of the shop is very poor, doesn’t allow customers to have a look round without staff asking you to move. And £4.50 for a small sausage roll is an absolute joke. Talk about ripping people off. Definitely not recommended.

We moved down to the new forest last year, we found Crow Farm Shop very early in to our New Forest adventure , we’ve been shopping here weekly since , butchers is fantastic lovely meat , the staff couldn’t be more helpful. The deli part where you can get salads and pies is also tremendous. I’m so happy we found Crow Farm Shop. Thanks Al and all the team !

Coffee, sausage roll, pork pies and service are excellent. Great little farm shop and cafe. Highly recommend!

Alovely shop with firendly staff, the buthcer was happy to talk through what he was doing to prepare the different cuts of meat. there is a wide range of seasonal veg, snacks and meat. We didn't use the coffee shop but it looked lovely with a great selection of treats to choose from, we are looking foward to going back.

Been this mall couple of times and found it very charming with nice cafes, branded shops, local businesses all under one roof. A big car park next to it which make it more convenient for shopping. In simple words "nice town, nice people & nice mall"

Have not visited Salisbury since Litvinenco was poisoned 🤣 Daughter wanted to go to Lakeland and this was the closest shop. What a little gem of a city centre, has all you need plus some nice boutiques, ample parking in various sites. Add in a bit of history and the beautiful Cathedral and you've got all the makings of a nice chilled shopping trip/day out. Will definitely return.

A few nice stores, lots of eateries, and some regular shops. Garage parking available. Lots of stores were already closed by 4pm. Nice pedestrian walkway, but I wouldn't go to Salisbury just for the mall.

The mall houses big brands such as M&S, H&M, Costa and WH Smith. It is close to the Salisbury City Centre and has loads of parking on site and around. It is also close to the High Street with lots of bus stops around for easy access to other locations in the City. The Salisbury train station is also less than a mile away.

the old george mall has a good range of shops and cafes, limited restaurants however there are lots in close proximity so this isn’t a bother.

Nice and clean. A busy area with a good selection of shops. Good to hear the music up by Waterstones.

Pleasant with a good selection of shops.

Lovely small museum about the founding of the 900 year old New Forest and key components of its history and life, such as Roman and World War II involvement, Alice in Wonderland connections, a small cob house replica, and why there are roaming horses (to name a few of the topics). Museum is free though donations are very appreciated. They also have a nice gift shop and cafe on site. Toilets adequate and free. Car park immediately next to it is from the city and costs a small fee.

I made a short stop in this small town on my way north, and visited the Heritage Centre. There was not that much to see, although the few displays were interesting enough. I guess the centre is more useful as an information centre than a museum.

Great museum, donations welcome. Set within the carpark. Cafe is relaxing with music in the background. Plenty of cakes for Gluten free diets and something for vegans. Both cakes In photos are gluten and dairy free. Top marks for the caramel one. Lots of choices for food and drinks. Prices are average for the area.

A small museum depicting life in The New Forest for its residents. The museum is free with a card point asking for a voluntary donation. There’s a cafe & shop within the centre. Doesn’t take long to go around the exhibits but is a nice way to see forest life.

This is a centre with a cafe, gift shop and a small museum about the New Forest. It's really interesting and explain a lot about the past and present of the forest. It's quite small but you can easily spend 30 minutes inside. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the village.

Excellent visitor centre for those wishing to find out more about the New Forest and its history. Upstairs is a long tapestry created by local people showing key events.

Lovely food great staff, had a lovely staff member called belle looking after us all. Great food, lovely setting. Thank you.

(ADAM’s Fruit and Vegetable)Amazing quality and super fresh fruits & vegetables! 🥦🍉 The prices are unbeatable, and they always have great offers. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the store is always clean and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fresh and affordable produce! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

A mall have so many facilities and stores Really loved it ♥️

Love this little shopping centre 😍 Beautiful shops you won't find on the highstreet. Found a fantastic shop to buy my daughters wedding dress and a very personal service 😊

Such a strange shopping centre with a fake little old school shop facade in the centre. I always feel sorry for old shopping malls. They deserve some love. The public toilets are really nice and kept clean and tidy.

Too many empty shops and not much advertising for the few businesses that are open upstairs. And also the shops in the middle at the bottom sometimes their customers are blocking the way through so in my wheelchair it can be very hard to get round.

Tired, dated shopping mall, especially when compared to Westquay. The walkway from the Asda side entrance has open shops but as you reach the center of the shopping mall there are a lot of empty units on the first floor. There are some coffee shops and cafes on the first floor.

Very huge shopping mall which almost has everything reacted to day to day living. The place is best filled with good people and many stores that welcomes people to buy or to server with the best what they can do to their customers. I loved to buy vegetables from the Marlands which is fresh and good quality with cheaper prices. The Marlands shopping center is located at the center portion of the city center of southampton and almost every bus route connects to this point right in front of Marlands. The stop is dedicated for Marlands shopping center which includes name as ASDA & MARLANDS stop or you can get of at civic center if you wish to walk into Marlands even faster if your were traveling g from airport, Portswood, eastleigh, Bitten park or portsmoth area direction. It has a dedicated parking service which is very huge and vast The marlands is one of the very fast moving shopping center and we can trust on their quality and hygenicity. The Marlands shopping center will always have a specific team to grab and dispose the unwanted materials and waste, very well managed by the supervisor. Each and every shop at the Marlands are bit affordable to buy any products for day to day purposes and durability of the products depends upon the useage Overall I'm totally satisfied with the Marlands Shopping Center experience.

A solid three star review dropped to a two. Why? Having to stand in a glass foyer got 35 minutes to secure access to the pool. Not pools, just pool. Indoor and out. The locker rooms are dire, missing tiles, rusting flaking fittings. The service was frustrating, not being told a padlock was needed for the lockers, leading to have to walk back out already changed and asked for 2 quid to borrow a padlock. The restaurant we ate in was good and quick. But again, the toilets were a mess, toilet paper all over the floor. But again the food was pretty good, and hot and quick. We stayed on the camping field which was nice enough, but the squared off plots made it feel pretty sterile and took the charm out of it, portacabin toilet block was okay. The cleaners did a great job, but left the floor soaked so frustratingly it was a muddy mess moments after they cleaned. All in all I was excited about visiting Sandy Balls, but it's in need of care and refurbishment. I probably won't visit again.

After reading some of these reviews, I am very glad I didn’t have the same experience! All I can say is wow! We have stayed at a few ‘Away Resorts’ locations and this is by far the best one we have come by. We booked a 10berth for my 30th birthday, just my partner and I. It was lovely, spotlessly clean. Beds a little hard for my liking but you can’t please everyone! A special mention to cleaners Verity & Thistlebe for making our stay so lovely and clean. We were really pleased and shocked at the little things, I.e towels folded nicely, prosecco on arrival, mirrors absolutely spotless. Also a shout out to Karen in guest services, she has been faultless through and through with helping us! She has been so polite and efficient. Infact, all of the staff we have come across have been lovely & friendly. Entertainment not great for us as we are 2 adults and there is a lot of kids stuff on, so would’ve been nice for more adult entertainment. The arcades were great and clean and again, helpful staff in there. Food at the Woodside Inn was brilliant although pricey. Lovely location for us to be able to walk the dogs being right near the Forest. All in all, I would definitely stay at Sandy Balls again and we are thoroughly enjoying our stay! Thank you!

Stayed for 3 nights and overall it was a really good stay. The main bedroom has ample room with a toilet, large dining and seating area, main bathroom and additional bedroom where our toddler stayed. A few reasons why I didn’t give it a 5 star: 1. Missing remote for bedroom tv - we didn’t need it but others might want to. 2. Frying pan was very old and needs replacing - we never used it. 3. Few of the kitchen kick boards were loose. 4. Drawer top completely loose in spare room. A bit of a touch up on these jobs and replacing kitchen items would make it a 5 star. We used the pool which wasn’t heated and I would suggest bringing flip flops as the changing rooms are very wet…also no where to change except 3 changing rooms - otherwise you have to hold your clothes or change next to your locker. Sauna doesn’t get hot either. For a 3 star resort, I would say it exceeds expectations and you get what you pay for. We will however stay again as it was worth the money, had stuff to do for our toddler and it was a great location.

Booking experience was chaotic. Customer service made an error with our booking ( they initially blamed me) until I proved that it wasn't my fault. We ended up having to stay in one type of accommodation for our first night and then move accommodation for the next 3 nights. Not very relaxing to unpack, repack and move. We were told to be out of the first accommodation by 10am and effectively be lodge less for 4 and a half hours until our next accommodation was ready. We obliged. However, this evening we found out that out first accommodation wasn't even needed until tomorrow. It hasn't even been cleaned so why couldn't they have just let us stay in it until our next accommodation was available? Instead we drove around the local area for 4 and a half hours!! On our return at 2.30 pm they initially said our new accommodation wouldn't be ready until 4pm!! Luckily, it was actually ready. My gripe is that after being messed around so much, more could have been done to lessen the inconvenience but it wasn't. It was really just shabby. Oh I forgot to mention that on arrival we were told that THE POOL WAS CLOSED FOR THE WHOLE TIME. So why didn't the company send out an email to guests letting them know?. Well because they didn't want anyone to cancel. Being a couple of old cogers, we weren't bothered but what about all the families with children? Again, where is the consideration for your paying holiday makers? The thing is, if you treat people like this, they won't come back. Anyway, the lodge we had Bluebell 25 was very nice. Please clean the blinds in the master bedroom toilet. They are disgusting. Very quiet. Well equipped. Heating good. So in a nutshell: Booking - nightmare and errors caused us to have to move accommodation after 1 day of our holiday Lack of consideration over pool closure We didn't appreciate being homeless for over 4 hours when they could have easily sorted this. Would we come again- possibly once I have forgotten about this experience! We are still at Sandy Balls until Thursday so hoping the rest of our stay is more enjoyable.

We booked this on a whim after our holiday home in France needed builders in. And we were amazed with our holiday! We arrived slightly after 15:30 and there was no queue to check in, I walked in and was greeted by some very chatty and lovely staff at reception. They were attentive, friendly and more than happy to answer any questions that I had. We were given Tawnywood 13, which is deep into the resort, however it is clearly signposted and gave us all our first impressions of the park which was how clean and nice it was! However upon arrival we noticed that a previous holiday maker had driven into the electric car charging point and it was offline. I rang the office as the rest of my family unpacked and within 2 minutes staff had arranged for me to charge in the van next door which was brilliant! In to the caravan itself, it was generally very clean and up to date, although we did notice some signs of wear and tear, however nothing that was problematic or worse than we’ve seen in any B&B’s etc… we did find a wristband for Peppa Pig world in the sofa and some Pom bears, and I accept that people may be quite affected by that, hence the 4/5. Other than that there was everything we needed, the showers were hot and clean, beds fresh and made and heating was just right! We enjoyed all the facilities on site, the shop wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be which was a pleasant surprise. Likewise the price of drinks at the bars etc…. For reference it was less than £1 difference between drinks rounds with the pub up the road. The staff behind the bars were all friendly and enjoyable to interact with, with them even joining in on jokes with my family which was great! The food we had was good; about on par with a regular chain pub or eatery, a tad more expensive but the new forest isn’t cheap at the best of times, again staff were attentive and friendly. Service was prompt and the food was cooked well! I would definitely recommend the tacos. They were delicious!!! Entertainment for my 2 year old was great, between the soft play and the Bear in our woods evening entertainment for him he was never bored and was knackered every night! Although we found the adventure play areas were a bit tired around the edges, with bits broken here and there, not that little one minded. Location is fantastic for visiting the new forest/Salisbury/Southampton/Bournemouth. We enjoyed it so much we booked again whilst there and benefitted from a discount, we thought the prices were reasonable anyway, so to get the little extra is always nice! Looking forward to coming back again! Hopefully the experience will be equally as nice!

Was a lovely place, we stayed in a lodge with a hot tub, although it overlooked two other lodge’s balconies. We were disappointed that the pool had been fully booked but were tools to wait for 10 mins to see if everyone turned up, they didn’t so we got to swim. It was great but in all felt it was an over priced caravan holiday club.

Unfortunately there isn't much to do on site and it's all run down and expensive for what it is. It might be passable for a couple of nights but that's it. The accommodation was really neglected, bathroom a bit manky in places, water damage to the worktops in the kitchen, all the dials had been rubbed off the cooker so no idea what temperature your oven is. Entertainment area was small. The whole place seems to be poorly managed by the current owners. Given you're in the New Forest, we asked if they had any maps of local walks but were told no, try the cycling centre, but that was shut. We made our own way to Fordingbridge using Google. Surely with such an asset on your doorstep you would make more of an effort to help people? We also had a tree branch scraping on the roof of our lodge all day and night in the wind which we reported but nothing happened. After two nights the builders moved in with heavy machinery to remove the lodge next to us. So much noise, we asked to move lodge but were told no so we left with only a partial refund and no apology. Just an excuse that we should expect noise on a 365 day holiday camp. Yes, like someone cutting the tree branch scraping on our lodge roof perhaps?

A little under-strength because if the pandemic, hence the 4*, but still a good selection of locally produced/sourced goods including traditional bread, meat & fish, wild boar & venison sausages, fudge, hummus & anti-pasti; all at really competitive prices. Friendly & helpful sellers, and shoppers following social-distancing guidelines. Looking forward to the market being back to normal

not exactly the place of google map marked but just bus station and i believe everyone should know it if go to ringwood. good price with fresh product even small but worth to visit

Small but upmarket selection of bread, cakes, vegetables, pies, sometimes augmented by fresh fish, beer, charcuterie. Takes place on the fourth Saturday of the month.

It’s just a antique shops . There is no any vegetable shops here.

We went to emsworth and then Ringwood farmers markets and we were really disappointed as to how small they were with not very much on offer

Small but lovely local farmers market tucked in the furlong

Always a nice place to visit and plenty of good deals

Top chap and does fabulous restoration work. Cheers

Excellent range, very friendly,

Nice market situated in the High Street. Not great for those that can’t walk far, but plenty of places to stop for a drink and bite to eat along the way. Local produce and friendly stall holders with some great items on sale.

This is a wonderful market with local produce and sensibly priced items. The street itself is worth a visit but go early on market day to get the best of both. Great music to listen too as you browse the market stalls too. The church is quite pretty too, I popped in to have a look and found a pianist practicing I sat and enjoyed the music and tranquility for a while. It was a wonderful day out.

Amazing. So much variety and relaxed atmosphere wandering around. Something for everyone. Please support market's like these up and down the country as they need you.

Quaint cobled street down by the Quaywith arrange of small shops to explore. A stroll along the harbour were you can see a number of sailing boats and motor boats is a must. Great place to visit when holidaying in Dorset.

I go here on occasions purely for beaky blinders stall, they are a gluten free stall that is a rarity these days. They run a professional outfit with good quality food. Lymington is an awesome high street with lots of cafes and bars to sit in or out.

Comprehensive choice of seasonal plants at reasonable prices, sold by stallholders who could answer any question put to them. Also delicious baked goods of many varieties. Plus hand sewn domestic items, including a well designed peg bag, that I simply had to have! Many other interesting stalls too. Well worth a socially distanced browse.

This is one of the best markets I have ever seen, with plenty of nice stalls and loads of people walking by. To trade here you have to call the market supervisor the day before between 6 and 8 pm and then show up in the morning outside HSBC bank at 7 o’clock. You will be given a pitch and the rent is average.

This is a lovely and relatively new community shop and post office which is surprisingly quite large inside compared to the size of the village. It has a large range of produce including a good selection of wines and beers. From dairy produce to Meats, a frozen food cabinet and fire wood. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Next to it is a decent sized car park. Open every day of the week (do check the opening hours). As a holiday maker in Woodgreen you should be able to find everything you need to enjoy your stay here.

Lovely village shops lots of choice of groceries with a post-office, we had a hot chocolate and sat outside, next time we may try one of the lovely cakes I wish we had a place like this at home .

What more could a village want….. well stocked, great variety of items, gifts, cards, local fresh and frozen produce as well as tinned necessities. Also the post office, lottery, alcohol and very friendly and helpful staff. Everything you need in one place, highly recommend to visitors and locals alike.

Great village shop. Has all the essentials plus their homemade food is amazing. Highly recommend the scotch eggs and rocky road!! Staff are very friendly and happy to help. Good sized car park to the side of the shop too.

This really is a fantastic village shop, everyone is incredibly friendly, they have a huge selection of local produce.... massively important to me as I do B&B in my Shepherds Hut in Godshill. This is what people come to the forest for. It opens early and closes late which is brilliant! Post Office invaluable in a rural village. Just want to say thank you to everyone!!!

Has a good variety of local produce and bakes bread on a daily basis on-site. Limited stock, but it's a small shop, not a supermarket. Fresh meat, cheeses, booze and sweets. Fish & chip van 4-5.30 every other Saturday. Support local!

Great little find in the Forest, lots of fabulous local produce and a lovely welcome. The meat is superb. Originally only popped in to grab a drink, didnt realise how many items were available in the shop. Highly recommend. Staff are extremely attentitive also.

Lovely owners! Bought some beautiful rings from here and will always pop in to whenever we are in the area!

Lovely little shop full of treasures. My family and I have been coming to Lyndhurst for over a decade and always visit and purchase jewellery as a souvenirs of our travel

Great place with some very interesting pieces. Ot a masdive shop but its easy to spend a few hours here just because of the many itdms of interest thrte is. Owners are great fun, quite happy to stop and talk about their wares. Very well worth a visit

Such a treasure trove of goodies. I could spend hours in here and always visit when I want to buy someone something extra special. Lovely, helpful and warm staff too who always take the time to chat you through the items without pressuring you into purchasing. A must visit

A lovely antiquity shop full of good quality goods and an excellent place to discover that special present. Pricing reasonable too.

Interesting Shop, lots of different items. We all found it a great place to browse. I visited with my Husband and 2 children. Our dog was also welcome. My children were very interested in the many old items. The staff, maybe the managers? Were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. A great place to visit.

We had a wonderful trip to the New Forest, we wanted to buy an antique or souvenir so thought this was the best place for it. Once we were in the store, we were constantly followed by an older woman, presumably the owner. Wherever we went she followed, looking over anything we had admired or conversed about. There were other people in the store and she did not follow them. We felt so uncomfortable we had to leave. I can see by multiple other reviews that this is a common occurrence, shame as this experience ruined our day out in Lyndhurst. EDIT: following response from the owner “Janine” Do not lie, you followed my wife and I, there were only 2 other people in the shop apart from us. This was not during this Easter weekend.

We had some delicious homemade rum & raisin ice cream 🍦 at Beaulieu Chocolate Studio. Just what we needed before the walk back to Bucklers Hard! Back again the next day too! Recommended.

Their ice cream was recommended to us by a local couple. As Italians living in the UK we took it with a grain of salt. I must say we were surprised when we tried it - it lives up to Italian standards! Also the chocolate is amazing and they have lots of vegan chocolate options too

Beauli Chocolate Studio is a chocolate lover's paradise! Their chocolates are rich, smooth, and full of flavor. Whether you prefer classic dark chocolate or unique flavors like salted caramel, there's something for everyone. The staff is friendly and helpful, always offering great recommendations. Perfect for a sweet treat or a thoughtful gift. Highly recommend!

What a lovely little shop this is. Large variety of different types of chocolate products in all forms of types and shapes. All made locally. You can find some very unique flavour chocolate bars in there. I definitely recommend trying their own gelatos. Selection might not be extensive but boy, the flavour and the richness of it is outstanding.

The rum and raisin ice cream is the best I've ever had. The shop is super cute and quaint. Very happy friendly lady serving too. If you are this way then definitely go in and try the delicious delights here

The ice cream is divine and comes with a very cute and delicious chcolate on top! The Dubai chocolate bar is the best I've had. The marzipan fruits are so cute! The cappuccino chocolate buttons and salted caramel chcolate buttons were way way better than Hotel Chocolat. This place is heaven.

Surprised us in the best way! Ice cream lives up to Italian standards, chocolate is excellent, and there are many vegan options.

Me and my son visited this lovely little shop greeted by a very helpful gentleman. I would highly recommend anyone that needs anything fishing related equipment or advice popping in. Thank you a very happy 10 year old 👌🏻👍🏻

Great service very helpful

Friendly and helpful owner. Good choice of tackle and bait. Reasonably priced. No parking problems.

An excellent fishing store. I walked in there with absolutely no idea about sea fishing, but the owner talked me though what I needed and as a result I had a great day fishing. I will definitely be returning

So helpful and patient with my brother and I, trying to help us with where to fish as we don't live in the area. The bait was fresh and lively (ragworm) and the shop is very well laid out with excellent quality tackle! Highly recommended!

Small shop but well stocked with a good variety of gear. I'm new to shore fishing and the staff were very helpful, they gave good advice and helped pick out bits I would need to get started. What got me was they didn't try to sell me loads of expensive equipment, picking out basic bits with advice on how to use them with emphasis on enjoying the sport rather than making a sale. I would definitely come here again when I'm in the area. Thanks guys

Very friendly and helpful 👍

The Coastal Gallery is a little gem of contemporary art and design, with an amazing range of gifts, especially with Christmas round the corner. The owners are delightful - always willing to help and give informed advice. If you are ever in Hampshire, Coastal Gallery is a must.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits at Coastal Gallery at Artsway we decided to visit the gallery in Lymington. It clearly states on their website that the gallery is open on Wednesday 9.30am – 4.30pm. Having travelled an hour from The New Forest we were disappointed to find the gallery closed and from what we could see from the outside, not much hanging space for pictures. Not quite the leading independent contemporary art gallery as advertised on their website. If you decide to visit, ring first before setting off.

I have visited the Coastal Gallery on a number of occasions and every time, I am inspired by the colours and quality of every piece of artwork on display. There is a wonderful mix of opulence and simplicity, something to enhance every room or give the finishing touch. I will be back and as always, confident I will find that special piece with your expert guidance, thanks Coastal Gallery.

I had read some interesting PR about this exhibition so was keen to see for myself if was going to live up to expectations - and the exhibition more than did that. There was so much amazing art to explore and enjoy that I felt overloaded at the end of my first visit and so went back for a 2nd and a 3rd visit to fully experience everything that was on view. I met one of the owners of the Gallery, Stewart, who couldn't have been more helpful in talking me through some of the work. I loved the way that each of the 3 galleries at ArtSway had a very different feel - whoever planned and hung the exhibition deserves a medal! Thank you for opening my eyes to some new artists.

Visited Coastal Gallery at Artsway on Saturday and was warmly welcomed by staff and informed of the talk that was taking place the following morning. So on Sunday I attended Arek Nowicki's talk in the morning, absolutely fantastic opportunity to get to know about the artwork at the show. Great use of space, such a vibrant show especially of the work of Stephen Powell and Jason Miller. Brilliant exhibition.

Recently visited over the ArtSway exhibition as part of Hampshire Open Studios. I was impressed by the wide range of contemporary art on show, including some amazing ceramics by Arek Nowicki who uses an incredible process of crystaline glazes. During my time visiting, I felt like a magpie in the gift shop, and bought some of Jo Vane's stunning jewellery. They also have a range of artist talks everyday at 11am which was very insightful into the work of each artist and offered something else to the usual gallery experience.

A fabulous gallery with something for everyone. The quality of art and craft on offer is fantastic - from local to national reputations on show to fit all personalities and tastes. Well worth a look!

Beautiful little gallery supporting local artists. Something for everyone, make sure you visit when you’re in Lymington. You’ll be glad you did!

The ladies behind counter were fantastic, gave me the space to look about without feeling pressured in a wonderful gallery! The works are fantastic, perfect mix of media and price!

Gorgeous little place filled with imaginative arts and craft pieces. Started Christmas shopping early!!

A wonderful space full of beautiful art, the staff are very knowledgeable and know a lot of the artist's on a personal level. Its a great place to pick up a treat for yourself or someone else.

What a lovely find! Amazing local artists. Paintings, prints, ceramics, fabric art and jewellery. Such a lovely mix. Current exhibition just started. Forest to the sea. Treat yourself.

No welcome here. The staff could not be bothered to acknowledge our presence. Some lovely pieces not displayed well. All very crowded. A shop not a gallery. Could do better.

Beautiful gallery! I would definitely recommend popping in to have a look if you’re in the Lymington area.

I recently bought some earrings as a gift for my friend but I realised that she already had the same pair so I wanted to see if it would be possible to exchange them for a different pair. They had been gift wrapped and had clearly not been opened since the time of purchase. I was aware that this may not be possible but I thought I would ask anyway. I explained my situation to the nice girl on the desk and she seemed to want to try and help. However, we were rudely interrupted by a women who I’m assuming was the store manager informing me, in an aggressive manor, that earrings are strictly non-refundable to which I replied saying “I was only asking because at the time of purchase I was offered a gift receipt so though there was a possibility”. However, to which she rudely replied, raising her voice, “would you want to buy earrings that had been returned by somebody else?”. I was taken aback by her rudeness and I found my experience today very upsetting. I usually like to enter the shop because of the welcome and warm ambiance given by the staff but today has been ruined due to the rude encounter I had with this particular staff member. I chose to leave the shop immediately and I am now unwilling to return to the ringwood branch.

I bought a luxury car scenting diffuser back in June 2025 l, and I love the smell and its last ages. But the reason I give it a 1 stat rating is because the magent inside the diffuser keeps falling out and when I go over a bumper it just comes off so I am have to keep getting it out of the foot well of my car which is not good. It's a great little product and smells great but I would of expected this product to not ne doing this when I have only had it a few months. I contact the White company and they advised me that as it not under guarantee or a warranty they can not give me a full refund or exchange, but they will give an E-gift card to the same value . I am not of course happy with this as.i want the product exchanged or replaced as I really like it. This is somewhat very disappointing from a well known high street brand. I will be thinking twice now about purchasing from this company in future.

Such a lovely TWC boutique store selling quality gift items ‘especially now for Xmas’ with helpful professional staff who know the products.

Well done Ringwood Store and especially Julie ..I ordered a week ago sheepskin stool it is beautiful..I know the white company have had a few issues with delivery so I was very impressed to receive my purchase today ..Ringwood is a well run store very friendly and knowledgeable.

Although my order went very wrong due to a mixup and miscommunication (issue with getting the product sent to my address), they rectified this by quickly refunding the delivery charge then also by hand delivering to my address at no extra cost! so thank you very much Marie! :)

Absolutely charming staff. Were absolutely lovely and discreet when there was a problem. Brilliant products, beautiful decor, great people and good location. I think it’s going to be really busy !!

Too expensive.

Fantastic showroom in a great setting, lots of interesting and unusual items. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
