The Grosvenor, Stockbridge is a little gem dating to 1822 — lovingly restored to its former glory. It sits proudly at the heart of Stockbridge, the smallest town in England, and home to the world-famous River Test.
From the front door, the chalk-stream country of Hampshire opens out in every direction. The New Forest, and the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury, are within easy reach. Yet on our own High Street you'll find independent stores, delis and galleries within a stone's throw.
Bring the dogs. We have the most comfortable beds for them too.
Each room is individually dressed — premium bedding, in-room safe, iron and board, and complimentary WiFi throughout. Some welcome dogs; some don't. Choose your match.
A top-floor retreat with sloping ceilings, a roll-top bath and room for the dogs. The most-requested room in the house.
A quiet, pet-free room on the garden side of the house. Crisp linens, soft lamplight, and the scent of the herb border through the window.
Our signature suite — named for the river that runs through town. Deep sofas, a generous bath, and a window onto the High Street below.
A bright, calm double overlooking the garden terrace — named for the nearby Longstock Park, a five-minute walk through water meadows.
"A garden retreat where the chalk streams run clear and the cathedral cities are close enough for tea."— The Visitor's Book, 2024
The River Test — the most famous chalk stream in the world — runs through town. Days on the beat can be arranged through the hotel.
Driven and walked-up days across the Hampshire estates. We'll warm the dinner for your return and pour something from the cellar.
The Test Way passes our door. Bring boots, bring bikes — the South Downs and the New Forest are a short pedal beyond.
Browse the delis, galleries and independent shops along the High Street. Or simply take tea on the garden terrace and watch the light move.
Begin the day with a full breakfast at The Market Room — locally sourced, generously laid. Return for supper at the bar, where the menu follows the seasons and the chalk-stream country around us.
The garden terrace opens onto herb beds and old brick. On a clear evening there are few better places in Hampshire to sit with a glass and a plate.
Dogs are part of the party at The Grosvenor. Water bowls in the bar, treats at the desk, and a proper bed in your room. Just tell us who's coming.
"Excellent location — 9.5 out of 10 from 352 reviews doesn't lie. We stayed in the Hayloft with our two spaniels and didn't want to leave."
"A serene garden retreat moments from the River Test. The Market Room breakfast was the best we had on our whole trip through Hampshire."
"Stockbridge is the smallest town in England and somehow has everything. The Grosvenor sits right at its heart. We're already booked for next spring."
Reserve directly for our best available rate, complimentary breakfast, and a warm welcome — dogs included. We're a short taxi from Winchester and an easy drive from London via the M3.
