Hurrah! We've found getaways for you...
Autumn brings a different kind of beauty to the New Forest. As the leaves change colour and cooler days arrive, the landscape becomes an inviting backdrop for a relaxing family break.
Head out for refreshing walks among copper-coloured leaves, discover unusual fungi and look out for the New Forest ponies growing their thicker winter coats. Younger visitors can follow winding woodland paths, scramble over fallen trees and collect conkers along the way. From family bike rides around Bolderwood to an autumn stroll through Blackwater Arboretum, there are plenty of ways to experience the forest at this colourful time of year.
When the temperature drops, retreat to a cosy New Forest cottage and settle in for the evening. Log fires, comfortable sofas, deep baths and family games rooms can make time indoors every bit as enjoyable as exploring outside. Prepare a warming drink, bring out the board games or visit one of the area’s traditional pubs for good food beside a roaring fire.
Our collection includes holiday cottages for families of all shapes and sizes, whether you’re bringing little ones, teenagers, grandparents or four-legged companions. Practical features such as secure gardens, bunk rooms and sociable open-plan spaces help everyone feel at home. Many properties also provide books, games and home entertainment, so a rainy afternoon needn’t spoil the fun.
