The kids have gone back to uni, the crowds have all gone home – which means that now is the perfect time to grab the last of the summer sun, wind down, and book a romantic New Forest break.

Sitting outside with an ice-cold beer, a glass of the sharpest cider or a cheeky prosecco – and something lovely to eat - is the summer dream.

There are a hundred different reasons why people visit the New Forest. They want to see our countryside. They want to experience our quiet, secret coastline. They want to eat fine food in our restaurants, cycle our trackways, and try a little forest bathing.
