We visited Marwell Zoo & Paultons Park on adjacent days for Arlo’s birthday, so a hotel that was close by was a must to avoid a drive home between visits and Marwell Hotel was perfectly located and meant that we could check in within minutes of leaving Zoo as the hotel is directly opposite the… Read More
Visiting a Zoo was on our family Bucket list for this year, as Arlo had never been and Athena was only about 18 months when she went to London Zoo so doesn’t remember it. I absolutely love animals and could watch them all day every day so thought Marwell would be a great place to… Read More

Spacious and bright with carefully chosen decor it’s a far… Read More
