Short breaks in the New Forest

Get away for a midweek or weekend break in the New Forest

Spanning 145 square miles of woodland, pastureland and heathland, and also gifted with a stretch of scenic coastline, a short break in the New Forest offers a variety of lovely landscapes to explore.

A popular destination for walking and cycling, packed with attractions such as the National Motor Museum and Bolderwood Deer Reserve, the New Forest offers plenty to see and do during your cottage short break. You’ll also be captivated by the pretty towns and villages in the heart of the forest, including Burley, Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst, where you may even see ponies and donkeys roaming about freely.

There’s also more to the New Forest than just a forest! During one of our New Forest breaks you could discover its coast overlooks the Isle of Wight and The Needles and offers stony beaches, impressive coastal fortresses and pretty harbours. The lively town of Lymington offers just one of them, as well as cobbled streets and the Old Town Quay to explore on your mini break. The cities of Bournemouth, Winchester and Southampton are all also within a short drive.

Whether you’re looking for a New Forest weekend break or you’re looking to enjoy the peace of a midweek break, we have a short break in the New Forest to suit you. Choose from a variety of lovely self-catering cottages in beautiful locations across the national park, offering everything from romantic boltholes to dog-friendly accommodation for your next New Forest short break.
