Blog (Accommodation) - Visit The New Forest

Which means it’s time to start thinking about how to enjoy it the best way we know…in the magical New Forest. To help you get the most out of it all, like the good elves that we are, we’ve gathered some fab suggestions to see you right through the season!

October half term is full of fantastic events in the New Forest – and as half term runs over Halloween, there are loads of frightfully fun events for everyone to join in with too! Check out a huge variety of brilliant events for the whole family in our blog.

As the leaves of summer lull themselves to sleep, scattering across the woodlands in rich shades of reds and yellows and the sun slowly moves lower in the sky... It’s time to retreat to us in the beautiful English countryside with 2-nights supper, bed & breakfast from £179 per couple.

September, October and November are often referred to as the New Forest’s ‘shoulder months’. With the area being less busy, it’s a great time to get away and discover the tranquillity and beauty of our National Park and surrounding areas without the crowds you’d expect in the summer months.

There are so many reasons why you should visit the New Forest this October half term! This year half term is from Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November and the New Forest is the perfect place to enjoy an autumn family break.

It’s traditionally seen as summer’s last hurrah – three amazing days of fun before we all go back to work, to school, and to our winter routines. And there’s no better place to spend August Bank Holiday weekend than the magical New Forest.

Foxgloves scattering through the woodlands, wild flowers covering the heathlands in a wash of vibrant colour and birds calling from atop yellow flowering gorse bushes are just some of the delights this time of year bring to our stunning surroundings across the beautiful New Forest Hotels.   

School may not be out for summer quite yet….but it’s coming! Six whole weeks to kick back, relax and enjoy yourself with the kids in the magical New Forest. Lucky, then, that loads of our amazing attractions & activities, top-notch hotels and holiday parks have got some brilliant events and deals for families to share.

At Balmer Lawn, we think there’s nothing quite like a tranquil break away to the countryside. The hustle and bustle of every-day life can soon take its toll on our mental and physical health, leaving us in need of a body and mind reset.

It’s easy to see why the New Forest is a camping holiday favourite, grown-ups and kids alike love this area, but they’re not the only ones! Dogs simply can’t get enough of those wide-open spaces and beautiful forest trails which make for a paw-fect dog-friendly holiday.
