The village centre is a very short walk away with a good selection of shops and nice places to eat. Having to take all our bedding was a bit of a nuisance and would certainly be prohibitive if you were making your way there on public transport!

Overall though, it’s a lovely place, and we’d definitely go back there."

Nestled directly opposite horse & heather-filled open forest, this Edwardian gem blends old-fashioned charm & 21st Century creature comforts to perfection (you can tell the owners were hoteliers!)

Inside and outside flow seamlessly here, with New Forest ponies, donkeys and cattle providing an ever-changing & immersive backdrop through the bay windows… But, before you settle in to supper & stargaze, ‘whatever-the-weather' wanderlust awaits; and the great outdoors is literally on your doorstep.

Brockenhurst is at the heart of the New Forest, and from picnics & paddles by the stream, to trails under the tall trees and bike riding off-the-beaten-path, you'll always take the scenic route… and a good pub is never far away!

With room for 6 adults and 2 children; pack the wellies and get ready to breakfast by birdsong, blow away the cobwebs, and spend quality time with your special ones.

** This property is available for rent with New Forest Escapes, who are a small local holiday cottage agency. Do contact us directly for best rates and availability a year in advance **

Inside
Whilst high ceilings & original features pay homage to its Edwardian heritage, modern finishing touches marry old & new together at Surrey Lodge... creating a space where you can very comfortably slide into the slow lane!

With a large and modern 'demi' open-plan kitchen/diner (we love the way the 'half wall' forms a clever partition, as much as the bespoke map wallpaper that covers it!), the extra seating here also allows plenty of room to gather together (Surrey sleeps 6 adults & 2 children). Just pop on your playlist, pour something lovely, and open the bi-folds to set the scene for your stay!

If you prefer something a little more classic, you'll love the record player over in the more traditional living room. Amongst the velvet and leather sofas, and tweed blinds, it's the wandering wildlife that most definitely take centre stage here (the big bay windows marked the beginning of our love story with Surrey Lodge) as New Forest ponies, donkeys and cattle all meander past at their leisure! With plenty of cosy spots to settle in, we also love this space for boardgames by the fire.

Head past the swish wet room/WC, to discover the bedrooms upstairs... With two sweet rooms that double as twins (perfect for younger guests), the other two rooms overlook the pony-dotted heather opposite... what a way to wake up! And, after a day of exploration & adventures, the large family bathroom upstairs is ideal for a bubbly soak.

Outside

With only a quiet road separating you from the forest, we adore the wrap-around front garden and verandah here. Take a seat on the bench to sit & watch the world (and wildlife) go by... perfectly paired with something refreshing in hand.

You'll have spotted the green-filled back garden through the kitchen/diner's bifold doors.... Here you'll find a lawn fit for garden games, with plenty of room to sit, supper & stargaze (Brockenhurst's wide skies make it a real spectacle). n.b. If you fancy a good read, you could also nip to the old phone box-converted library over the road!

There's also a handy garden room where you can store your bikes, stock-up the extra fridge/freezer, and dry off your gear after a forest stomp. Over on the driveway, there's room for 3-4 cars, with an electric charger available upon request.

- "Amazing location, no need to leave the village as has everything you need. Lodge was very high spec and cleanliness. Bit pricy but worth every penny, only thing I can moan about is they said there would be coal to get the bbq going but didn’t so had to take short bike ride to village to buy some but that’s me being very fussy as nothing to complain about." - "Surrey Lodge is a beautiful house in the most wonderful location - close enough to the shops in Brockenhurst, and rural enough to look out the window straight on to the forest to see ponies, cows and donkeys and the most beautiful sunsets. The house is very clean, comfortable and well appointed and we had a really lovely time staying there. We as a family had a lovely stay there for 2 weeks and were very sad to leave. Of all the houses in the New Forest we’ve stayed in, this has certainly been our favourite and we can not wait to return. Our only tiny gripe about the house, is that the internet was very very slow and patchy which was a bit frustrating when trying to watch stuff in the evenings!"

This beautiful comfy home, recently renovated but retaining plenty of character, is just a few minutes’ drive from the bustling market town of Lymington and right on the doorstep of the New Forest. It is a generous relaxing space with a glorious garden perfect for family get-togethers or as weekend retreat. You can enjoy plenty of walks direct from the cottage and are a few minutes from the sea, woods, moors and all the New Forest has to offer, including a great pub close by!
The space
The cottage is over 150 years old and in my family since the 1950s. It has recently been sympathetically modernised and is now comfortably furnished with mostly traditional pieces. It is surprisingly bright and spacious with ceilings all of a good height, but there are plenty of original features and some creaking boards! The Farrow & Ball colour palette lends a timeless and restful tone. A key feature is the wonderful cottage garden filled to bursting with flowers all summer long.

Downstairs in the cottage there is a porch with plenty of space for muddy boots, a large well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen which is light and airy and has double doors leading straight onto the patio and garden, a piano room/snug with dedicated workspace, central hall, a cloakroom and a large sunny living room with 2 sofas and wingbacks and a cosy wood burner for chilly evenings or board games with the family. Upstairs the master bedroom is double aspect with a private sitting/dressing room adjacent and an ensuite with a walk-in shower and Grohe fittings. Guests are treated with fluffy white towels and quality bed linen. The other two double/twin bedrooms share the family bathroom which has a full size bath with shower over. The large dressing room/bedroom 4 adjacent to the master bedroom can accommodate a fold out bed for a child aged 3-10 who would be the 7th guest and/or a travel cot (a Mamas and Papas Travel Cot is kept on site).

The beautifully designed and pretty garden has masses of scented roses, azaleas, and herbaceous plants flowering from spring to late into the autumn. There are two patio areas to catch the warmth from daytime and evening sun and a small lawn for relaxing with a book or afternoon tea! Each area has relaxing benches and tables for you to enjoy the views whether with breakfast, lunch, tea or dinner. Children are welcome to stay and the New Forest with its wild ponies is a magical place for them to enjoy but please note that the house has several antique pieces and there are brick paths and brick edging, stone pavers set into gravel, and a few steps. All depends on what they are used to at home!

Please note that the cottage is old and not set up with accessibility aids, ie stairs are quite steep without full hand rails, no grab rails in the bathrooms, a few steps inside the house and quite high cills and door steps for every entrance. It is however spacious.
Guest access
The cottage has ample private parking for two cars (with a turning space if you park at right angles to the main road). It can at a pinch fit three small cars if one is parked on the entry slope. The local pub is within a couple of hundred yards and there are plenty of other gastro pubs and excellent restaurants within a few miles. There is also a regular bus service into Lymington for those wishing to mark their independence! The nearest railway station is Brockenhurst (mainline to Waterloo) ... under 10 mins drive away and with a taxi rank. The regular ferry to the Isle of Wight is within 20 mins drive.
Other things to note
Bedroom 3 has two smaller single beds which can either be set up as twin beds or be zipped and linked to form a Kingsize bed. Just let me know which you would prefer.
Note that the gardener usually comes for an hour first thing on a Wednesday.
If you have children note that there is full size matching crockery etc for 6 … with extra melamine plates etc for the children. There is a high chair for a toddler. Please provide your own linen for the travel cot and foldout bed.
Note the check-in and check-out times ... if you would like to arrange an alternative time please contact us first.
There is an additional cost of £75 for the cottage for occupancy up to 6pm or your day of departure if no new guests are arriving. Early checkin at noon can also usually be arranged on request for a fee of £50.
If you have little ones note the garden is not gated

- "Excellent property for friends with young children. Well equipped kitchen, cot/highchair/stair gate. Secure garden. Plenty of toys and games suitable for baby to adults." - "The cottage was really well-equipped for families with toys and books and all you could need in the kitchen. The hot tub was a great source of amusement for the whole family and the cottage well located within easy distance of lots of things to do for a small amount of money. The downside was very creaky floorboards upstairs and it was quite noisy in the early morning due to its proximity to the main road through Brockenhurst and the train line. However, we didn't notice the noise at other times of the day and the noise didn't wake the children who were worn out from their days of activities."

Nestled amongst a tranquil garden plot, our hideaway for two boasts a VIP postcode that is just perfect for exploring Brockenhurst… and whatever you have planned, you'll be sure to meet plenty of New Forest ponies & donkeys on your travels!

Located just a ‘trot' away from the (very well-connected) train station, you'll go from platform 2, to pastures new in a jiffy; as miles of scenic countryside await. Once home to the Station Master's kitchen-garden; our dog-friendly bolthole is now ‘bedded in' amongst the greenery, offering the perfect spot to settle-in & savour life's simple pleasures.

After a busy day of biking, bird watching & rambling… the list goes on… you'll undoubtably work up an appetite + the buzzy village offers just the tonic! Stock-up in the High Street's award-winning welcome store + taste for yourself why the New forest locals flock to the butchers/ greengrocers/ & bakers! Plan in a pub pit-stop on the way home (there are plenty to choose from!) and do book a table at The Pig if you are after a special supper out.

Before another day of adventures, pour something delicious, curl-up with a good read & burrow down in the bedrooms of dreams… it's ‘all aboard' to The Nest!

** This property is available for rent with New Forest Escapes, who are a small local holiday cottage agency. Do contact us directly for best rates and availability a year in advance **

Inside

Perfectly formed for two guests (solo adventurers also very welcome!), we love how inside & outside are as-one at The Nest; with light filling the open-plan kitchen & living/dining areas + bi-folds that bring the great outdoors in…

Welcoming soft furnishings, natural finishing touches and a calming Farrow & Ball backdrop all help to echo your countryside location; and your Scandinavian owner has designed this ground floor annexe to really embrace life in the slow lane - adding lots of lovely little finishing touches to make sure you feel at home.

Some nights you may be drawn to supper under the stars, whilst on others you may simply sink into the sofa with a good book… But, when you are ready to retire for the day, the bedroom 'burrow' of dreams is waiting! With its clever design & gorgeous, leafy aesthetic, what a spot to slumber… we'll take our morning coffee here before hitting the shower please!

Psssst - If you are eating in during your escape, the kitchen is fully kitted out & Brockenhurst's ‘High Street' showcases a fab smorgasbord of homegrown foodie shops!

Outside

Only a one minute walk from Brockenhurst's - very well connected - train station, this is the ideal escape to try out a car-free New Forest jolly…

Tucked behind the owner's home & garden, your self-contained sanctuary can be accessed at the bottom of the main driveway, nestled amongst the ferns!

*If you are driving down, there is an allocated spot jut past the owner's house (in front of the annexe's entrance).

Thanks to nifty screening, we love that you'll benefit from the wide skies & tall oak trees from the host's surrounding garden, whilst feeling nice & private at the same time. The table & chairs at the front provide the perfect spot to sip & snack, but there are also a couple of chairs at the back (next to the *WW1 bunker!!) if you are chasing the sun.

Perfectly placed for ramblers & cyclists, you can access the open forest in a matter of minutes from the back gate here (there's also a bike rack here… the owner's thought of everything!)

Forest Edge does space really well. This village home is fresh and airy and has lots of generously sized rooms where friends and family can get together to eat, relax and play. Gardens stretch to two-thirds of an acre with views across paddocks and woodland, while the house overlooks a picturesque green.

It is perfect for exploring the area. Come here for relaxation, family adventures and slice of life in the slow lane. Our favourite wild beach and Lymington town are all close - about 5 minutes drive for both.

The immediate surrounds of the heathery moor and forest are beautiful. The views are dotted with ponies in every direction. Especially in the centre of the village. Apart from dog walkers, it's mostly the ponies you'll meet on your travels. This area is a favourite haunt of the local New Forest breed and you'll also meet donkeys, cows, (and possibly the odd pig in Autumn) roaming through the village. All call this area home, and will graze right up to the front gate.

The beach at Tanners Lane, wild and totally unspoilt, is 3 miles to the south. The coastal path here is in good condition and the views to the Isle of Wight are superb. Lymington is also 3 miles. It is charming, full of bustle and life. Foodies have plenty to look forward to here too.

All-in-all it's a lovely holiday house, well presented and set up for families, in a great spot. Get ready for British village life at its best.

** This property is available for rent with New Forest Escapes, who are a small local holiday cottage agency. Do contact us directly for best rates and availability a year in advance **

Inside
The house is best for groups of 10 adults, 2 children (in the single beds) and then 2 babies. All rooms (except bedroom 4) are suitable for travel cots.

The interior style is country comfortable, easy-going and relaxed. There are the owners' family photographs, animal portraits, rugs thrown on boards, florals and antique chairs.

All in all: Forest Edge is about the village life experience. This is a lovely, well presented holiday home that's set up for families and in a great spot.

Outside
There is a paved terrace which really makes the back garden a great entertaining space. You'll be able to keep the kitchen sliding doors open all day and enjoy the inside/outside feel. It gets hot here so a large umbrella is provided for summer.

The large gardens are mainly lawned, ideal for family games. There's a good barbecue and picnic table for eating al fresco - a great way to enjoy long summer evenings and spectacular sunsets. If you don't fancy cooking, we've tons of suggestions for tasty places to eat out. Or we can help you find a caterer; just ask. The kitchen here is well set up for it.

If you need more outdoor space, simply hop across the cattle grid and turn left. The little lane beyond goes nowhere and is of the prettiest and most perfect kind. For family walks with the smalls, learning to ride bikes, toddling along and smelling the flowers - it's the spot. Walk its length (about three minutes) and you'll find yourself on the bowling-green-flat, pony-nibbled lawns of Pilley Green where local children play football and run around.

If you don't fancy cooking, we've tons of suggestions for tasty places to eat out. Or we can help you find a caterer; just ask.

If you need more space, simply hop across the cattle grid. The little lane beyond is a cul-de-sac of the prettiest and most perfect kind. It's perfect for family walks with small people and opportunities to learn to cycle. Walk its length (about four minutes) and you'll find yourself on the bowling-green-flat, pony-nibbled lawns of Pilley Green where local children play football and run around.

The owners Stephen and Louise were locals and they say that the village comes into its own in summer with gardens to visit (through the National Open Garden Scheme). They also recommend the old phone box as a must-visit - it's now a community book swap facility.

All in all: Forest Edge is about the village life experience. This is a lovely, well presented holiday home that's set up for families and in a great spot.

Hometruths

The upstairs bathroom isn't the most luxurious, but it's clean, water pressure is good for an invigorating shower and towels are fluffy.

There is a cattle grid nearby the cottage and you can hear it at night when the rest of the village noises die down. All windows upstairs are double glazed so you can shut the noise out if you want.

Steven and Louise, the owners, do come and stay in an annexe at the property, on their way to and from their boat in Lymington. They park outside the property and have their own access. The annexe does not over look the main house or garden at all, and they do not stay in during the day. In short - they'll keep out of your way - but do ask them for local tips and info'. They're very well informed!

There is an extra charge for logs and kindling to burn on the fire (October- March) but feel free to BYO!

Go wild in the countryside…

With its fab garden & idyllic Brockenhurst location (the petite pool is the absolute cherry on top), Heather Cottage is perfect for families seeking time together in the great outdoors! Little ones and grown ups alike are encouraged to climb trees, get muddy knees, make dens, discover hidey-holes, follow tracks and enjoy ‘Swallows and Amazon' style adventures… the list goes on!

Right, slap, bang, opposite the cottage, just head through the garden gate and across an unfenced lane, to discover the New Forest National Park in all her lush, leafy, woodland glory. There's a stand of awesome, gnarly, ancient oaks to clamber up, secluded ferny copses and sun-dappled glades to explore… and if you work up a VIP appetite, The Pig promises a special supper, and is just a 10 minute wander away.

Impromptu games of rounders, footie & frisbee-throwing are all there for the taking (the grassland is manicured by grazing ponies!) and so many adventures await in all directions… this is a proper escape to the countryside!

*The pool is only available to use from late May (starting with half term) – September but please do confirm exact timings with our team when booking.

** This property is available for rent with New Forest Escapes, who are a small local holiday cottage agency. Do contact us directly for best rates and availability a year in advance **

Inside:

This charming 1930s period property is colour-washed duck egg blue under a tiled roof with dormer windows, arched porch, stained glass window panes, old-fashioned pull doorbell and interior doors of country planking with ironwork handles.

Inside the ambience is fresh, bright and relaxed in keeping with the well-travelled owners' style (he makes prosthetic legs for British Paralympians; she plays viola professionally). Along with their children (aged between 13 and 16), the house has been tried and tested as a family-friendly escape.

The sitting room is cosy with deep, squashy sofas, wooden boards, wood fire in an exposed brick fireplace (for autumn and winter stays), Smart TV and bi-fold doors onto the wooden terrace and gardens.

There is a spacious farmhouse style kitchen/dining/family room including painted cupboards, butler's sink, range cooker and old-fashioned airer and wood stove. With windows overlooking open Forest at the front and French windows onto the wooden terrace at the back, this room allows parents to keep an eye on children from a comfortable distance. In addition, centre stage, is a big old dining table seating eight to 10 people - large enough for everyone to eat together. The family room has a Smart TV and further doors onto the terrace.

Styling is chic, yet quirky combining Victorian and Edwardian pieces with retro gingham and calming neutrals. One bedroom is decorated in coastal blues and stripes, another in textured greys, while yet another, under sloping eaves, features Cath Kidston's classic spotty designs.

Altogether there are five flexible bedrooms, sleeping nine at most.

Bedrooms include two doubles upstairs, one with en-suite shower room, a double and single room downstairs (this bed is the top part of a bunk). Adjacent, there is a further shepherds-hut styled room with a single bed on the ground floor, plus mini kitchen area and ladder to a small low bed space in the eaves with king-sized mattress.

Bifold doors from the sitting room and French windows from the family room both open onto a new decked terrace that runs the length of the back of the house with al fresco dining area and relaxed seating area of wicker armchairs and sofa, topped by plump cushions, and funky bean bags for lounging.

Outside:

The back garden view is into the pony paddocks and woodland. It gets masses of summer sun making it ideal for sunbathing.

The house has a heated outdoor pool. The pool is available to use from late May (starting with half term) - September (please confirm with team when booking)
The pool dimensions are L5,49m x W2,75m x D1,32m.
The pool will be standing 1m above ground approx with a 60cm approx of surround decking.

More fun for little ones is provided by a trampoline with a safety net enclosure. The house is south-facing, getting sun all day long, so it is super-hot in the summer, and gorgeous sunsets bathe the cottage in a golden glow in the evening. A chiminea stove can be lit to take the chill off evenings outside. Finish off your day by toasting marshmallows over a fire.

Gas BBQ for guests use.


Home truths:

In the adjacent, shepherds-hut styled room the ladder up to the small low bed space in the eaves is steep and not for the faint hearted. There is no wall at the end of the bed, so definitely adults only. It can get hot up here in summer, but you can open the Velux.

The pool is only available to use from late May (starting with half term) - September (please confirm with team when booking) + all guests wishing to use the pool will be required to sign a waiver + pay an additional fee.

There is an extra charge for logs and kindling to burn on the fire (October- March) but feel free to BYO!
