The enchanting area of the New Forest consists of one of the UK’s largest and most unspoilt areas of forest, pastureland and heath – perfect for visitors who want to make the most of the great outdoors. Home to the national park of the same name, the forest is criss-crossed with walking trails which wind their way through ancient woodland, past beautiful gardens and magnificent stately homes.
With such a diverse range of habitats, the New Forest is a haven for wildlife. Look out for woodlark, grass snakes, deer and red kites, as well as the iconic free-roaming ponies. As you explore the area, you’ll discover pretty towns and villages, including Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Burley, which are rich in heritage and have a great range of places to eat and drink. Apart from walking, a wide range of outdoor pursuits are easily accessible from our New Forest cottages, including canoeing, sailing and mountain biking.
To help you explore this wonderful part of the South Coast, we have a wide range of holiday cottages in the New Forest, from self-catering accommodation perfect for forest holidays to cottages to rent by the beautiful coastline.
