What we love...

Pops of colour, playful art and laid-back interiors for a stay filled with comfort and cheer.

Two living/sitting rooms for unlimited family time and entertainment.

Surrounded by stunning rolling heathland, country trails and gravel tracks, ready and waiting to be explored by foot or bike!

Looking chipper and sitting pretty in the countryside, this bright and cheery home is just the ticket for forest-filled days in Sway.

Sway Corner Style

Behind its classic red brick façade, we love how Sway Corner is waiting to delight, with vibrant pops of colour and quirky art adding a laidback vibe to this characterful New Forest cottage.

There are two separate living/sitting rooms to choose from – great if you want to have a family board game going on in one and reserve the other for zen moments of relaxation.

Plus, the super-social kitchen/diner is ideal for coming together to chat and make merry around a shared meal. With a spacious garden and patio, you can also spill outside for alfresco feasting.

Exploring the Area

After enjoying a chorus of birdsong to start your day right, there’s an action-packed itinerary of biking, rambling and den-building all there for the taking. Just follow the ponies and donkeys to find the best spots!

Make sure to bring your rackets too if you fancy a match in the tennis club opposite.

Head home via Sway Village (past the well-connected train station that’s great for Brockenhurst or Bournemouth day trips) to replenish stocks in the award-winning butchers and local deli before settling in for the night and getting toasty by the log burner.

Or, finish off your day by heading down one of the nearby tree-lined lanes for a dusky stroll to the local pub for a pint and a chance to enjoy the local scene.

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

Bursting with character, the layout here is designed with all of the family in-mind…

At the heart of this home, the kitchen/diner stole the show for us with plenty of room for the whole family to mill amongst the delicious aromas and settle in at the table amongst the light & bright space…Hurrah to chefs being part of the conversation! Adding a little 'je ne sais quoi' to the layout, the French doors here connect you to the garden seamlessly where croissants & coffee can be savoured under the sun at the drop of a hat.

Next up, you’re a little spoilt with both a living/TV room, and a sitting room to snuggle up in après supper! Both rooms are equally as ‘sinkable’ but there’s a little more of a grown-up feel in the front sitting room, with the working fireplace, if you wanted to leave the little ones watching something whilst you have a night cap?

Onwards & upwards, upstairs an oasis of calm awaits, where the green-filled scenes fill each of the three bedrooms with countryside vibes. The master with en-suite is just the spot to retreat and recharge, but the other two (including one with en-suite!) are equally as charming and gentrified.

N.B. Pre-empting forest-filled adventures… and the muddy knees that come with them… the 3.5 bathrooms & utility room means you’ll have everything at-hand to get ready for another day of fresh-air explorations.

Location, location, location...

The much-loved local watering hole, The Hare & Hounds, is just a 1/2 mile hop, skip or bike down the road from Sway Corner, where the fab children's playground makes it a #winwin for all involved! If you wander a little further, you’ll be able to stock up in Sway Village’s super sweet deli & award-winning butchers… and meet plenty of horses & wildlife on your travels!

With ample biking & walking tracks on your doorstep, you’ll always take the scenic route here. As well as just heading into the great outdoors and seeing where you’ll end up, we’d also earmark a morning wander in Wilverley Inclosure (perfect den-building territory), an afternoon browsing Lymington’s Boutiques, and an evening at The Old Mill during our stay. If the ocean is calling, Milford is only 5 miles away & boasts beautiful Solent views whilst you swim.

Being car-free is easy peasy from Sway Corner as it’s train station can take you to Brockenhurst in a jiffy… for yet more alfresco adventures & beer gardens… or further afield for theatre trips in Southampton.

Pssst- If you get lost just look out for the 200m concrete tower (AKA Peterson’s Folly) that acts as a landmark on land and sea for New Forest locals!

A successful stay! A very convenient and comfortable stay, with lots of thoughtful touches on arrival. The kitchen is particularly well-equipped. It was a great base to explore the New Forest.

Emily April 2026

5 stars. Sway Corner is a lovely bright house and we were very lucky with the March sunshine so were also able to sit outside! Everything is considered by the owners and the house offers many amenities. We needed a bit of an ology for the television but that's no big deal. Location for the forest is fantastic and an easy drive into Lymington. Thank you and we will return.

Deborah March 2026

Lovely house great location.

Angie March 2026

5 stars. A great place to stay. This is the second time that we have stayed at Sway Corner. It is a perfect place to stay to enjoy the New Forest with the added bonus of having a train station, shops & pubs within walking distance. The cottage itself is well equipped & the beds are very comfortable.

Lynn January 2026

Sway Corner is a lovely homely cottage. It was beautifully clean & well equipped. The beds were extremely cosy & comfortable. Very easy to walk into Sway for local shops, pub, railway station & into the Forest. For EV users there is a charger in the recreation ground opposite the cottage. All the New Forest Escapes staff were so friendly & helpful.

Nigel Walter November 2025

We had the most amazing stay, house was excellently equipped, better than any other property we have ever stayed in over the years. So close to all parts of the forest. We have never stayed in the same property twice but can’t wait to come back to this one.

Claire & family August 2024

Lovely stay in this great house - excellent location on the edge of Sway, easy access to all the attractions of the New Forest and the coast. Great communication with our hosts.

Matt & family June 2024

The house was great for us, 3 women who go away regularly. Well located to see the area and close to the Pig! The house was very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. A good base for exploring the New Forest.

Brent & family August 2023

This is the perfect holiday cottage to enjoy a New Forest escape with your family! I love how the cottage feels homely and inviting, so you can all instantly relax. With quality time high on my holiday agenda, I love how the large kitchen-diner here means that you can all gather around to eat and chat together; and the glimpse of ponies outside is so special for the title ones!

Sway is one of the New Forest's most picture-postcard places to stay, with donkeys and ponies freely roaming around the pretty country lanes. With so many routes to walk and bike along, this is the ideal location for anyone looking to spend quality time together. The sweet village also boasts a great train station so you can swap London life for country living in just over two hours! After a busy day of forest adventures, I can't think of a more cosy way to end the day then with games in the living room!
