ROUND-UPS
Where to Stay in the New Forest
Published 12th December 2023
The New Forest is like something from a fairytale, dotted with ancient oaks and roamed by donkeys, deer and wild ponies.
This 140,000 acre national park isn't just forest. It also comes with pretty-as-a-picture villages and 40 miles of coastline, salt marsh and secret sandy beaches.
All it takes to reach this magical little world is a 90 minute train ride from Waterloo. So if you're after some weekend getaway inspiration, take a look at these gorgeous hideaways located in and around the New Forest.
