New Forest Cottages

Self-catering holidays in the New Forest

Perfect for nature lovers, our New Forest cottages put you at the heart of this ancient landscape. England’s smallest national park, the New Forest sits in the county of Hampshire, encompassing a variety of different landscapes including woodland, heathland, bogs, farmland and coastline. A former royal hunting ground, the region is a haven for wildlife with ponies, cattle, donkeys and pigs roaming free alongside deer, and rare birds nesting. Our New Forest holiday cottages provide an ideal base for outdoors enthusiasts who love walking, mountain biking, cycling, canoeing and sailing. Hike part of the Solent Way or the Avon Valley Path or set off on horseback to explore forest trails. Choose from cosy cottages for two, family-friendly self-catering accommodation, dog-friendly cottages, rural abodes and holiday homes set in quaint villages or seaside towns.

Scattered amongst ancient woodland, you’ll find historic villages such as Lyndhurst, Brokenhurst and Beaulieu. If you prefer to stay near the sea, opt for the stunning seaside locations of Lymington, Milford on Sea or Barton on Sea, where you can enjoy coastal walks, bustling fishing harbours or catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight. The region has a rich cultural history with Bronze Age barrows and medieval churches dotted amongst the landscape. Meanwhile, Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway, the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Peppa Pig World and the Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Centre offer fun for all the family.
