Holiday Cottages & Self Catering in the New Forest

With a nationwide lockdown currently in place, Self Catering Properties in the New Forest are closed.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the New Forest for a magical break later in 2021. Please see our webpage for further information about the New Forest and COVID-19. 

If you love the freedom to do your own thing on holiday then a holiday cottage or self-catering break in the New Forest will be perfect for you.

Self-catering holiday cottages in The New Forest are an ideal way to explore the area. Whether it is a romantic break for two or a celebration for the whole family. Use your New Forest holiday cottage as a base to explore all that’s on offer here; from outdoor activities through to award-winning dining.

From holiday cottages ideal for walking and cycling to get away from it all, to luxury cottages located close to a local village pub, The New Forest offers an array of different places to stay.

Having use of your own kitchen will mean you can be flexible on your dining options and our local produce markets and farm shops allow budding foodies to cook up their own culinary masterpiece in the kitchen, by utilising fresh and local ingredients.

If this sounds like your perfect holiday haven, then a self-catering cottage in the New Forest is an ideal place for your retreat.

Family-friendly self-catering and holiday cottages

Discover family-friendly self catering properties, close by to our attractions such as the ever-popular Peppa Pig World or National Motor Museum at Beaulieu or those with extensive grounds for the children to burn off their energy. If you enjoy a relaxed holiday with a home-from-home feel then a self-catering break makes an ideal family holiday.

Burgate Manor Farm is just one of the family-friendly places you can stay. It sleeps up to 18 guests and has a large games barn.

Apple Cottage is also perfect for a family getaway. Located in the heart of the New Forest, Lyndhurst, with all the facilities you and your family need, it's a fantastic place to stay.

Wherever you choose to stay you will find yourselves within a short distance of our beautiful coastline, the extensive off road cycle paths and walking routes that criss-cross our forest and heathland so there will be plenty of opportunities for you and your family to enjoy the great outdoors!

Cottages perfect for couples

Tuck yourselves away in a romantic retreat, snuggle up in front of a roaring fireplace and take romantic walks through the countryside from your doorstep. Stay in a converted barn or even a romantic gatehouse at the entrance of a country estate, the choice is yours!

Cook romantic meals together in the kitchen, enjoy a glass of fizz from a terrace or garden or perhaps soaking up sea views or vistas across the open forest where you can see our New Forest ponies roaming free. You will find some superbly romantic properties to stay in here in the New Forest such as Kings Hyde Cottage.
