The excellent service and attention to detail provided by staff in Hampshire boutique hotels persuades many tourists to stray off the beaten track of the normal hotels found in major tourist areas and to book hotel stays in the intimate, historic or romantic accommodation found in boutique hotels in the rural areas of Hampshire such as the New Forest and South Downs.
